Very Nice! Are Your Runners & Plenum Black Chromed??

 

 

 

Thanks man! Its a high gloss black powder coat.

 

well, here's mine

 

theres lots of sweet tpi bays on here..

 

Heres my most recent ones

 

What do you guys do to get the plastic so shiny?

 

very nice

 

armor all does good wonders

 

Armor all can make a temporary shine, but the plastic must be in good condition for anything to work well. Cleaning to remove oxidation (like you would paint) is great first step. I used normal old 409, and and old tooth brush. When its clean there is a natural shine to clean plastic. Depending if the plastic is dried out after cleaning, I may use a tire shine and let it soak in before treating with Prima Nero vinyl & plastic dressing.

Some of the parts underhood of my 91 have been sanded and painted gloss black too.

heres one of mine

 

Well yeah that is true... but since im a big shine fanatic i try out all kinds of things to make my cars shine lol.

 

I Use This Meguiars Tire Gel, It's Purple. Every Other Were I Wipe It All Down Though That Stuff Attracts A Lot Of Dirt So You Really Have To Keep Up With It.

 

So which engine bay do you think looks the best so far? quote the picture(s) of your favorite one for you spectators lol

My vote goes for 8996chevy that bay looks really nice must be a pain to keep it clean.

 

All original.

 

Looks great, Scott. The question I have for you is have you repainted your alternator fins? My '88 TA is all stock, too, but my fins are rusty, as are my manifolds, similar to yours.

 

Nope, what you see is all original. The car hasn't seen much inclement weather, so it shouldn't get too bad. The alternator has been replaced since this picture was taken, but the original is still in the shown condition. I plan on rebuilding that one and putting it back on the car. The only difference between the new one on the car and the original is the color of the aluminum. The housing shows a slight yellowing compared to the brilliant silver of the replacement. You can see that slight yellowing in the above pic.

 

Someone has to post a lowly 2.8 engine bay LOL

My brother rebuild it 10 years to put into a chevette, but it never made it, Had to find a use for it somehow..

 

Before the engine burned to the ground(!)... still got the polished manifold, anodized spacers and polished Fiero valve covers in a box. A little blackened with soot, but they will polish up nicely if anyone wants to buy them. Got a 5.7 now, so don't need the V6 parts...

 

Here's mine

 

I won't win any awards, but hey, why not?

 

how much did that sweat swap cost you if u don't mine me asking?

 

how much did that swap run ya if u don't mine me asking?

 

I'll throw another V6 in the mix...

 

not the cleanest or nicest. But it runs.
