The intake manifold is still in the works, coming out great! gonna send it to the fabircators to have all the holes welded up either wednesday or saturday.. paint samples FINALLY..
This is 2 spray outs, one with 2 coats of kandy the other with 5.. the color of the 5 is perfect for what I wanted but its simply too dark, the 2 pops like I want and you can really catch the effect of the color, but its too copper/orangish for me.. so Wednesday he is doing a 3 coat spray out for me which I think will be the perfect middleground between the two, pictures were taken on my iPhone in a flourescent lit shop so needless to say they arent a true representation in the pics, but surprisingly close.. I still havent gotten to see them in the sunlight cuz it wont stop raining! LMAO
Both colors together
Clsoe up of the 2 coats
close up of the 5 coats
and a shot of the fender to show just how wide these downforce fenders are!

alright back on topic, got a little more done on the intake manifold, I have to go buy a dremel to get in between the runners anrd what not, but the plenum is mostly done (aside from welding the holes obviously)I decided to round out the sharp edges on the manifold for a unique look, the runners I am starting to block sand today.. some pictures of the progress

paint has been laid.. and looks beyond amazing..
Sucks it was shitty outside so no outdoor shots, its a whole new color in the sunlight, but these should give an idea of the kandy effect and the color
Got some pics of the bay, insides of the doors, underhood, and undertrunk to try to show different levels of the color..
Very happy overall, cant wait to see it fully painted in the sunlight!
