Enjoyed our conversation....:D


Also just ordered the Satin Clear Coat Finish, as I would like to keep the look of the plenum the way it turned out. I had already ordered the High Gloss Finish from another source before I changed my mind. Will probably keep that and use it on my 82 factory wheels. They need to be redone in the future.

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
 

Just finished clear coating the plenum. I used the Satin Finish as mentioned. Very happy with the results. I did 4 complete coats on the top and 2 complete coats underneath. When you add in the multiple sprays as you are doing a coat, it probably adds up to 6 or 7 coats, if that makes any sense.

I am also leaning to leaving the number and letters just as they are, I just like the look!!!

Here is the product that I used as listed in the link in a previous post. Satin product on the right. No runs or drips, just light even coats. No heavy coats needed....

in the drying room, overall very satisfied with the results...the finish of what I felt also seems to have a smoother feel to it....I may do another coat tomorrow....we shall see...you will notice the difference between the open paint booth (with fluorescent lighting) compared to the drying room with natural light...I like the way it looks in different lighting....

Happy Fathers Day to all of the Dads out there, enjoy your day!!!:)

Came back from a short vaca with the grandsons down the shore and had some packages waiting for me.

Sent the coolant pipes out to Carter for some enhancements. I had an idea of what I wanted to accomplish and Carter made it happen. Between the two of us collaborating together, the finish product turned out excellent. Thank you Carter, your workmanship and attention to detail is second to none.:handshak:


just need to clear them and they will be ready to go....
the results.....

That looks really good, nice job!

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
 

Thanks.....appreciated....:)

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
 

Great job!
Those valves are for coolant bleeding?

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
 

Thanks.....:)

Actually they are for the very exclusive LT5 flux capacitor I just installed. It will make time travel possible and faster....can't wait to test it out........lol

Sorry, just had the opportunity to.........

Yes, these are the valves I mentioned to you a few weeks ago for the coolant bleeding. The member who has these already installed has had absolutely zero problems pertaining to any air locks in the coolant system. Of course the plenum and TB is blocked on his LT5 as it will now be on mine. From what he said, it is a breeze to fill and bleed the system. And they are placed at the highest point of the coolant system on the engine. Of course as with any fill, you still need to check the system for a few heat cycles to make sure the system is full.
Not telling you anything new, as you and many already know that. I also have the plug to plug the line from the "T" to the plenum. So I will be ready to go. Still have to work on the TB....and the flux capacitor.....lol
