Before and after engine pitures.
As some of you know I have had to do a lot to my motor to make it run good and look good since I got the car back. I have been asked to see some pictures of the new work that has been done so here you go. Keep in mind the pipes still need a lot more polishing and cleaning. Thanks Randy and Chris for all your hard work. Randys Fab work is amazing.
Before (the way the car came back to me.)
After (reworked alum 4 inch piping, Alum Shroud, reloacted MAF, Tial BOV, AMW catch Can, Hump hoses, Tbolts, and a lot of carbon fiber)
I am very happy thus far.

Dude,
That color is BEAUTIFUL. It reminds me of the 91 Callaway Twin Turbo areobody that was at a chevy dealer near my house growing up. The paint is sick and so is the motor. Very, very nice!!!

Looks like you started polishing Jon. Now that we know the coolant problem is taken care of we'll have to get the shround mounted. Do not forget the custom shroud underneath to direct air up into the radiator.

I was kinda surprised to see that type of working coming out of MTI's doors.
Looks good Jon. With the car looking now, I think we need to start calling you "Pimp Master Bling-Bling"

Jon, is your car still going to be used in the Miami Vice movie?
BTW, I was shocked to see that work from MTI. I'd heard good things. I would have expected more since they new the car was going to be used in a movie...
