i had a friend of mine paint it in his shop. came out looking good. i use a rattle can on the intake horn and it will be gone as soon as i get a Banks. What do yall think? i am going to change out the bolts with chrome ones and also am going to buy the chrome Ram oil cap.

 

Also i would like some more ideas in what else i could do to dress up under the hood. i think i am going to try to get it show ready. and i know twins would look great with red piping. and yes that is soon to come. my diesel guy has me hooked up so as soon as i get the money we will start. Thanks for the ideas.

Who's your diesel guy? I come into the Austin area alot now so he could get some more business.

 

It looks great but I want to see how the paint holds up on that slick plastic surface. How about a repost in a month or two?.........

And who needs a Banks intake. Just take a marker and right Banks on it.

 

G-Styles in Cedar Park. he has been good to me and has a very good prices. check him out next time you are in town. he is on 183 between Leander and Cedar Park.

 

he did prep it so it should hold up fine but if not i will let him do it again. anyways i will post like you said and i hope everything is the same as it is now. HOPE

 

Do you have to sand the cover down completly first?

The color on mine started flaking off real bad so I LIGHTLY scuffed off the excess w/ a brillo pad and the "C" and the rest of the lettering. I now have a bunch of scratch marks around that area. I want to get it painted a glossy black and have the Cummins inside the "C" done in white.

 

I know this one girl in Leander.....................wow.

 

I'm not sure which sand paper he used but i was very fine. he sprayed it with two coats of red and two of clear. Like i said not sure but i hope it will stay looking good. the guy i use has a custon boat shop so i think he should know what he is doing. oh well i wasn't much money.

 

I'm sure it beats paying $400 for a billet replacement cover....

i think you will like it

you can paint the fuse box lid look at mine

what do ya think about painting the fan cover?

 

it looks good. did you rattle can the fuse cover? and i have been thinking about the fan shroud but the i don't want it to look to riced out. i just want it to look good so when i start to take it to shows. your intake looks good and i would do that but i am waiting for some twins so i will hold off on that for now. i know when i had my 81 camaro i got a dress up kit that had all the chrome parts in it. was kinda think about some chrome under the hood but not sure what they offer and what i will have to get made. anyways thats for the pics and ideas.

 

yeah i rattle canned every thing with metallic and then cleared it like 3 times

i didnt even sand the fuse box just did that the last second didnt have much paint left in the can

i am going to redo it but i really dont know what color
i would like to paint the "C" white or red. i was in a hurry the first time
when i painted mine
