here are a few of the finished products with a chrome coating ,please note that the strut braces were home made and do have some marks , but 80% of them can not be seen now . Also the alt and oil neck have not been coated yet .

Take a look at the pully and intercooler piping that have been done in a chrome finish . They are sitting on a hand pollished intake . YOu almost can not tell the difference . I hopw the pics do it justice .

Thanks again

Coating looks good, but I am not a chrome type of guy, what can I say (personal tastes). But I do want to get some work done in the engine compartment for the engine I am putting together.

Sorry guys I didn't go to the meet, I will be working almost every weekend for about 5 weeks. Monday and Tuesday were spent pulling out the old 13B that was smoking a little excessive for me and doing the front cover and oil pan swap. I yanked about 10 feet of braided line, one fuel pump (I had two), nitrous, Holley and a few racing stuff. Now I am back to semi-stock. I am running a Dellorto 48 DHLA and the newly acquired engine that I got recently. Still need some odds and ends but mostly complete. Enjoy the pics, I am not finished yet, but it's running good, needs some more adjustments but I drove the car around the neighborhood and the car pulls hard. Pretty soon it will be registered on the road with classic plates.
