I've been playing under the hood.

 

Very nice.

 

why purple?

 

This is the out side of the hood. Purple, because. No honestly I was just trying out some powder coat and prefered the candy purle over the candy red.

 

Thats a very beautiful shade of purple..

 

I like the exterior. Very nice. Keep up the good work there.

I dunno i like grey white and black powder coats.

 

That's.... unique.

 

you would be one hell of a minnesota vikings fan.

I like it. looks great.


BTW i don't like the vikings.

Has a kind of Do Luck or HKS look to it. Not bad.

 

Does this work better for you?

 

loooooks goooood (i may do that to mine with white) u said u powercoated them rite???

 

Correct, they are powder coated. The thermostat necks present a problem being porous aluminum. The coolant soaks in and when you go to the bake cycle the trapped moisture vaporizes and creates pockets in the coating. This usually only happens in the area where the radiator hose covers the neck. Baking the part for 30-60 minutes before coating minimizes the problem.

 

Nice.

 

trochoid did u powder coat them your self... if so would you do it for people... and give a guesstimate price on the stuff you did under your hood

 

Yes I did these myself. Still working some of the technical difficulties out, but I am getting there. I also did the wheels on the Z in the pic.

As for pricing, I have no idea yet. The powder coating itself isn't really hard, just tricky. The prep work however is quite labor intensive.

 

that looks good keep up the good work on your projects
