That's gonna look good with almost any other color! Looks like it'll really pop.

Looks great. I opted for yellow zinc on most of my parts..

Looks great.

Can't tell from the pic but if you did the small pieces that go against cylinders on bottom, it will start melting, smoking, stinking. Had to strip those and use high temp paint.

I have always wondered if you can powder coat a fuel tank interior?? Guessing you just did the exterior?

"I have always wondered if you can powder coat a fuel tank interior?? Guessing you just did the exterior?"

The interior of the tank was sealed by Gas Tank Re-New, And then powder coated.

And Yes, I did the small pieces that go against the cylinders on the bottom. Lucky I have a spare set of engine tins I can use.

Thanks,

A shop local to us in SoCal wants 100 buck for all tins on a 6.

Colorado is getting you for other "fees" rolled up in a 400 dollar price tag. Shop around or move the work to Arizona. At a place near our home in Scottsdale, they get 65 bucks for the same fine job in a variety of colors in an industrial grade power coat... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

Sometimes you have to shop around. I had a good powder coater. He would do a ton of stuff for ~ $100. He got more expensive and unreliable. Gotta find someone new.

Wow, even the engine mount bar. Looks great, can't wait to see it on the car. Did you have some criteria to decide what to include?

You PCed the alternator mounting bracket. Make sure the alternator body has a ground path. Either clean portions of that bracket, or add a ground cable from the alt to the engine/fan-housing.

I will take care of that. Any other (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) thoughts more than welcome.
