I got bored... August 31, 2005, 04:07:32 PM so i spent maybe 45 minutes on my upper intake, i just took some 320 grit, cleaned up the ribs and lettering, threw some red paint in the ford emblem, and did a little more sandingim eventually going to be swapping out my intakes for a ported set, so i figured what the heck, i like the scheme, so my next one will have much more time invested Quote Selected

Reply #2 – August 31, 2005, 05:37:13 PM i knew someone was going to say thatim sick of blue, you buy a cold air kit, it has blue couplers, you buy anything aluminum thats aftermarket, its blue anodized, you buy some plug wires, theyre bluei decided that i want to do something with red, car has a red interior, red stripe, so i might as well carry it under the hood Quote Selected
Re: I got bored... Reply #3 – August 31, 2005, 10:43:57 PM I wonder if some good aluminum cleaner would brighten that intake up? Quote Selected

Re: I got bored... Reply #8 – August 31, 2005, 11:56:36 PM i sanded most of the casting marks off, then i brushed it on, and sanded it, since the surface was pretty smooth, it came off nice and easy Quote Selected
