Powder Coated Custom TPI
Finished powder coating my engine. Worked on it on and off all winter. Let me know what you think of it. Not to move onto the body....

That looks good! I did that to my 87 Vette. I'm going to keep my current 87 IROC stock but the next IROC or GTA I get I will powder coat the engine.

Re: Powder Coated Custom TPI
Thanks for the great responses! I just hope this thing runs as good. The valve covers are the GM racing valve covers. They come in short or tall. The short have baffles as well. I fell in love with them and had to wait a while before I could afford them. Jegs and Summit have them. I powder coated them to match the rest of the engine. (4 coats, 1 chrome, 3 red anodized and 1 coat clearcoat)
