While I'm waiting for parts for the gas tank switch, I thought I'd get started on another project that I've been putting off - intake tubes.

When I redid my originals in 1989, I made the mistake of clearcoating them. Man, did they look great for 7-8 years, before then engine heat took over. Still don't look horrible, but you can tell.

So, I have two extra sets (eBay). Both are gross! I intended to refurbish both, but the red set has bad clips, so it will go in the trash tomorrow night.

The other set - silver-on white-on gray look like the have potential. So, I started citris stripping them tonight. It's 86 degrees in the garage, so the stripping should be enhanced by the heat (unlike me).

The red ones are free to anyone so inclined, but you need to let me know by tomorrow night! They are really crude. I must start throwing this stuff out. Pics attached
