I love seeing this.... this has been my dream scheme. Even built a model with the wrinkle red LT5.
Love it, why should Ferrari have all the good wrinkle red engines :-) |

As an FYI, the Ihs and plenum will be blue as they were. I haven't stripped them yet for the purpose of getting motor done and out of Pete's (graying) hair. I'll be doing that later this spring. Still thinking of the paint scheme for the plenum, although I will be using same colors. Any suggestions welcome now that you've seen cam covers.
Breather vent tubes and PCV to IH tubes will be "polished" along with fuel rails. Last edited by XfireZ51; 02-01-2011 at 08:47 PM. |

what you have done looks great. if i can add an idea, when you do the plenum ,dont paint the low top center of it l,i think it would match well with the valve covers .jmho

My thought is to paint the top portion of the plenum in the same wrinkle red, leaving the center depression in silver as in the cam covers. The runners, coolant tubes and IHs would be done in silver. |

Overall I think it looks too "heavy". I'm looking to accent the motor. Maybe my Photoshop guru =Jeff= can whip something together to indicate what it would look like. |

Lee,
That's what I'm talking about. Way too much color IMO. |
