I didn't have to extend many at all. The only problem is you have to disconnect it from at least one side in order to get it out of the engine bay and route it around the outside.

No real updates. The car is pretty much tucked away for winter. Also I got a new job so I'm not up at 3am anymore to like your FB posts, haha.

Took these pics during the two weeks we had no power because of hurricane Sandy:

I like this one a lot. You went from "Oh god its all moldy" to carbon door trims and some very nice clean paint.. I like it

Amazing build! I'm extremely jealous. Very clean and well organized.

I've been planning mine out and was thinking of going a similar route with blacked out radiator and FMIC. Do you see any adverse effects from anodizing/painting them? Did you use the Eastwood paint on just the tanks or on the fins too? Was anodizing worth the effort or would you have just painted them in hindsight?

He ended up just spraying the rad second time around. I wouldnt waste my money on the eastwood radiator paint, all it is is thinned out spray paint. I used it and it flaked and chipped easily. all that for a premium can of spray paint at 10+?? ( I love eastwood but that product isnt worth it) I switch to my good ol' $.97 home depot spray paint. its exactly that, CHEAP spray paint, aka thin. Works like a charm

Currently going through and painting everything in the engine bay, have been using VHT high heat paint and primer for most things. Did you powder coat everything, including things like the AC? Did you do it yourself or send it off for powder coating?
