Not your typical LT1 intake

Check this out



A buddy of mine Lucas is also doing the aftercooler for me. I should have pictures of it tomarrow.

You can get a hold of him at tic5@aol.com

The colors are "Almost Chrome" and red.. Kinda inverted from the typical stuff you see. The last picture just has a chrome header just to show the difference.

He really did an outstanding job, it looks good as hell!!

He did it for me as a favor. If you'd like just email him and ask him

He does such damn good work I figured I would show it to everyone else.

When I was a kid and built model cars, they had that same silver color in a little bottle.

Re: Not your typical LT1 intake

he prob used chrome powdercoat. It just doesn't look like chrome b/c he didn't sand it up to about 400. The cast material makes it look like that.

Re: Not your typical LT1 intake

That color scheme does look really nice, now you need a Throttle Body powdercoated "almost chrome" like this one

Re: Not your typical LT1 intake

Just was curious if he put clear powder over the almost chrome? If he didnt, I recommend he does. The almost chrome looks great but will start to fade and rub off after time.(usually around a month) They mostly recommend almost chrome for a base under candy colors.

Re: Not your typical LT1 intake

The throttle body you see in the link of mine that is almost chrome is cleared. Your right if you don't you will destroy the finish quickly.

Re: Not your typical LT1 intake

yep hes putting clear over it.

I can't wait to get the aftercooler back from him. You know how it has VORTECH raised in the sides? They are going to be done in red.

How hard was the throttlebody to do? Did you take the shaft out to do it? If so how did you get it back in?
