Some goodies came in today
Got some goodies back from a couple projects of ours...
TB adapter, fuel stacks, and small bits are for my supercharger system. They destroyed my intake manifold in the process due to some employees who have now been "let go". This is good motivation to make a better manifold that will not be hindered by hood space restrictions and actually flow well. The oil pan, and valve covers are some pieces of Mike's engine rebuild. We will be getting the wrinkle black cylinder heads and block halves back from them next weekend along with a gold intake manifold next weekend. Strut bodies are for Laserx's coilovers. Enjoy Tom Last edited by TomsSVX; 02-14-2009 at 03:31 PM. |

Re: Some goodies came in today
Local powdercoat company? How in the world did they wreck your intake?

Wow. That's impressive work, but not worth the hassle from what Mike told me! Good luck with the intake manifold.

Re: Some goodies came in today
The shop's "fabricator" who was let go as a result of his mucking up my manifold w/o asking me. He called me an said he layed a couple welds on it. I took a look at it and they are trashed. I could probably save it, but with enough work to make 1/2 of another manifold. So I am looking to make a new manifold out of 12ga. stainless

Re: Some goodies came in today
Are they reimbursing you for a new intake manifold?

Re: Some goodies came in today
yes in a sense. I am going to make them give us the coatings for no cost. Which saves us about $400 considering all the costs of what the manifold will cost me in materials

Re: Some goodies came in today
Tom, do you know the actual name of the powder they used for that bronze? That is nice.

Re: Some goodies came in today
I will. That's all that matters to me. A bunch of my suspension parts are painted up, with more to come. There are maybe a handful of people who will ever see them, and fewer who will appreciate what I did, but I know it's there and the work I had to do to get it how I wanted.

Re: Some goodies came in today
Think my new p.c. gun will net similar results. Must wire a 240 outlet for my oven in the garage.
