looks good! Did you polish it by hand?

 

yup...starting with 100 grit up to 1500 grit and then black rouge, brown rouge, and white rouge. 2 weeks time at 2-4 hours a day.

I plan on it.

 

I really only have a charging issue under heavy acceleration now. It seems that above 3500 rpm, my volt guage drops below the half way mark, and she doesn't run like she should. But... for normal everyday driving, it's running great now!

 

Thanks again for that harness!

Nice!!! When are you going to do mine?

 

I took the easy way out, polishing was too much work so I just settled for a sanding and a fresh coat of wheel paint to make it look good.

clearcoat...no!!! DONT EVER USE CLEARCOAT ON HIGH HEAT AREAS!!!! if you do...youll notice that itll start turning yellow. clearcoat doesnt like high heat. the rouge acts like a wax, so it stay nice.

 

thanks for the best looking 3.4 on board comment!!! since ive fixed the little stuff, im getting anal with appearance...with only more to come.

 

as for doing yours WhiteOut...send them to me, pay me, and ill return them back to you looking like that. BUT...itll probably take me a week or so to finish.

ok, so with-out the clearcoat how do you keep it shiney and shit? i know that it will oxodize in a little while.

i do absolutely nothing. it gets water spots here and there, but i wipe those off after im done driving in the rain.

 

Damn that looks nice! Wanna do my s/c next?

 

sure, pay me for the countless hours that a supercharger would take.

Bling Bling, bitch! Now get the alternator chrome kit to match.

 

wouldnt that make all the sense in the world?!?!? i figure as long as mine is working, im not going to even pretend to touch it.

well it wouldn't make sense anyway, since it's down there. But you'd be the pioneer if you did it.

havent really thought about it. it was timely and sandpaper $$$ add up. if youre really serious, ill get to thinking about it.

Rock on. I second the alternator :wink:

 

are you just being funny or dont realize the alternator is under the engine and out of sight? at first i thought Brian was serious too!
