Yep it's cheap, and it gets all the dirt/oil out of al the little places sandpaper cant go.

 

any updates on this? i may be going through the same process soon.

 

Great read! So great, I'm not getting anything done at work so far!

 

I took my horns to my powdercoater and as far as I know they didn't bead blast them, though they did do some prep. I could be wrong about the blasting though. The results were fantastic.



You can see the slight textures still.


This is what happens when you don't powdercoat them. I bought this from a member who said he had primed and painted them it lasted maybe 6 months..the expense to remove and install them outweighed any initial cost benefit versus powdercoating them.

 

Nice, umm, art collection.

 

Haha, wasn't my shop, lol. But I agree!

 

Looks like it is all done. Please let us have your performance impression. What are specs of the engine?

 

 

Patiently awaiting update!!

 

+1

 

I THINK HE LEFT US!!!

 

or messed something up =X

 

That would suck, I was starting to like the guy.

 

I read he posted something about going for his first solo flight in plane... hope he landed ok

 

well better start checking the news headlines from around the last time he posted then haha

 

Well any landing you can walk away from is a good one, and any landing that the aircraft is still fully functional is damn near perfect, so I'm hoping for perfect.

 

I don't remember hearing anything about a local plane crash.

 

well then now he has no excuse to not be posting an update

 

I was back in Nebraska from Christmas to the 1st and the car still isn't ready. I got an email from him :

Jan
Sorry I havent been in contact with you recently. Been really busy
with school and work. I am really planning on the car being done
before the time you arrive. I have the motor in and am just finishing
up re-connecting everything. I will let you know if i can find a
date that will work for you to tune.
Thanks Anthony

 

Cool, can't wait to see it finished and ripping it up!!!

Hasn't it been cold as........well.....Nebraska there too?

 

my son's live there and they sent me text pictures of 8" of snow on the cars......lol

SoCal has it's advantages

 

Hey everyone
I am still alive , and unfortunately the car is not done....yet. I have finally been going back out to the garage and working on it since I passed my written exam for my pilot's license. Working on the car was a good distraction from actually studying for school/flying so I had to just stop for a little while.

I havent taken many pictures lately, modular front end is still off. I was putting my intake and s/c horns on last night, and just really hated how different my valve cover turned out and the difference in shades of red. So thats coming back off, striping the paint tonight and figuring out another option.

Dont worry tho, it will be done before it gets "really" nice out. lol

here is my only picture from last night:

picture is deceiving. just doesnt have anything on the powder coated intake.

 

Glad to see your back with us.

 

Dang in the drive way, R3SP3t THAT MINI OWN3R!!
If You ever in Nor Cal I will share my case of beer with ya!!

 

i have a buddy that just recently moved to Alameda, so if i ever visit him to go skiing/snowboarding with him somewhere out there, that would pretty much be the extent of my nor cal travels. So depending on your location, i could possibly take you up on that.
