Things are either polished or powdercoated. The ac condensor and brake lines have not yet been polished. Anything that is red will be either chromed or polished.

Its still far from being done. Im trying to enjoy the car for the time being since I have only put about 300 miles on it so far this year. The thought of driving it outweighs the thought or attempt to work on it.

Niiice

where did u get the rubber thing that gose form the trottle body to the mas air floe censor ?

It looks good.:cool:

beautiful....must not be a daily driver...my motor is less than perfect.....but that is just beautiful.

Damn, that is very nice!! I can't wait until I install a new motor in my car because I'm going to pay attention to many details, much like how you did! :bow:

Nope, not a daily driver at all. I just had the car running for less than two weeks, and this years total mileage is just shy of 300 miles.

I need to get myself motivated to start back up working on her, instead of driving her.

Thanks for the compliments.

Looks great man.

Someone either never drives their car to give it a chance to get dirty under the hood, or they had a lot of time on their hands.:D Beautiful looking engine bay man!:thumb:

^I actually just got done installing my LE2 setup, so all the shiny pieces were purschased and installed when reinstalling the motor. Did not feel like putting the stock bland pieces on, and then installing the shiny parts later. Twice the work, not twice the fun.

I do take car of my car though. There is going to be a lot more shiny parts underneath the hood, its just the fact that I want to drive my car now since I did not start driving it this year until 2 weeks ago when the LE2 setup was complete. Driving the car now outweighs working on it.

Thanks for the compliments. Ill post pictures as more work progresses.

very nice!!

awesome man....but expected from not a daily driver....but it looks great!!!

What kind of valve covers are those they look awsome

Thats one clean engine bay. Sweet valve covers.

Lookin' good Chief :cool: I dig that shade of silver that you (painted? powdercoated?) your accessories with.

How did you go about polishing the alternator and the accessory brackets?

The alternator, alt. brackets, timing cover, water pump are all powdercoated 'reflective chrome'.

I am purchasing a stock alt, alt. bracket, timing cover, and H20 pump housing and will be polishing those. It does not match the aluminum valve covers as much as I would like to, and since I will be attending many car shows next year, I want everything to be matching.

I will have the powdercoated pieces for sale shortly.

Cost me $50 for the powder and then to actually have someone powdercoat everything.

I thought those parts were polished, that's a nice color of powdercoat, looks like polished aluminum. I might have to go with that color, where did you get it?

Sorry... havent been online lately... got the powder from Eastwood.

I'm loving the polished treatment under there. You're really making me want to get some polished valve covers and shine up my alternator. ;)

damn, those valve covers look even better in the car.. i have a set that i just opted not to use cause i got some LT4s... whered you get that block off on the second breather hole? its sweet

That breather is from Billett.

Car looks real clean man good work

very nice :thumb:
