I'm still waiting for my Dremel to get here.I talked to the service boss and she said it was going to cost me $30.00 for repairs. I told her that they (Dremel) gave me a 5 year warranty due to the trouble I've had.She said I had to pay. Fast forward an hour.I called backed and asked for her supervisor and explained the story,gave her the name of the lady who gave the 5 year warranty,and she (the REAL boss) said she still had contact with the woman who gave me the extended warranty (that woman has retired) and would honor that. SO,My Dremel is on the way home for no charge. Not a big deal really.It all worked out well,and I'll just have to postpone my intake progress until it gets here.Mine is still fine as it is. Updates as they happen.

Well.....I finally had a little time,and the stuff I needed to get my intake mostly done.I still need to replace the freeze plug on the side (probably tomorrow) and do some final polishing..I'm still trying to decide which top plate I'm going to use.Maybe the polished one I'm using now that I fabbed a couple of years back....I'll think about it. The emblem is an Australian "FPV" badge (Ford Performance Vehicles) from Ford of Australia. Here's what the replacement looks like so far....and a pic of the tripminder I installed some time ago........










The current intake,polished Explorer intake with a Cobra badge on it,is now officially for sale. I still like it a lot,but it's time for something a little different......

Thanks.I hope to do some more polishing tomorrow when I get home...or I may take it to work and do a little on my break.I don't smoke,so that can be one my "smoke breaks".I see people take a lot of "smoke breaks" all day,so,I don't see why I can't take just as many "polishing" breaks. Seems fair to me.It'll probably piss off the smokers at work,but they can get bent if they don't like it.Time is time,regardless of what you're doing.At least when I get done I'll have something to show for it.

It looks great:D

You still need to take off the vac port on the driver's side front of the intake. I plugged the hole with a pipe plug on mine.

I plan on it.It'll probably come off today.The vacuum port on the back corner is also being changed.

Too much time? Me? No way. I wish I did.I'm always busy.I did this intake over a total of 3 1/2 days in about about 2 1/2 weeks or so (maybe 3).I worked for a few hours one day,waited a few days,did some more,waited a few days and here we are.Tedious work,but it's starting to pay off.
