WOW! Yours is Awesome too! Nice shine on the AB plennum. Is that powder coating?
I was hoping when I did mine that it would not be too much blue but have been very happy with the way it turned out.

The valve covers are polished and the intake is powdercoated. Used a lot of stainless and silver to contrast where there was AB and AB to offset the silver polished parts. Also made up a dozen AB oil filters!

My car actually came from Torrance, CA about 2 years ago with a black plenum (the DRM Black Widow look).

Dave -

Hopefully this Spring...not sure yet as to when. Have not had either out yet this year.....bummer. Getting another 6 inches of snow today.....still a lot better to live in the snowy northeast than in Japan right now, so I'm not complaining...

Ricky -

Will do. I'll start a new thread. My intention was not to steal the thunder of the AB engine from GLMajer - I was just excited to see another AB - especially one with a painted engine. AB ZR-1's are pretty hot to me - even the Blue Turtle. I see Dave is planning on speeding up the turtle with a little porting in the near future.....

It is nice when the engine color is the same as the body - Here is a Black Rose example.
