I just got back from Straight-Line Racing and everything is back in order for the Engine Bay with the freshley painted block, the new intake & the new master cylinder in it's place and the Carb re-jeted "Leaned out because there was a ton of black smoke" coming out of my tail pipes last year (Sorry for the smoke screen to those that were behind me everytime I hit the accelerator)...but something just didn't look right to me...




...then it dawned on me that I had to polish up the Carb to make it shine along with the rest of the Chrome, Billet, Aluminum...so I started to the job of taking the top part of the engine apart again and begin polshing the Carb with "Nevr-Dull" which took me about 3 hours of elbow grease, then I was beginning to think on what would it look like if I painted the "Demon" letters in red? So I'm off to the closest Hobby-Shop for some model paint and I buy a pack with an assorment of different colors.

I liked the red color beause there is alot of red accents in the engine bay and I know that some of you would of said to paint it yellow to match the car...but the red turned out really good...I'm very impressed!




Then when that job finished...I happened to glance over to my valve covers and noticed that th Bowtie & Chevrolet was a little dull from the heat and what not...so I retouched the red "Bowtie" and painted the "Chevrolet " letters yellow...I turned out even better than the original, tomorrow I will be going back to the shop to give all the painted parts another coat and I'm going to paint the "SSBC" letters in yellow!





After I get the new rims on the car I will post up new pics and I will be doing a couple more upgrades later this year hopefully before summer...now that my friends is a secret so don't ask me!

You will either see it in person or you will see the pictures!

 

Damn. I love your car. It's 100% old school meets new school.

 

dear lord...how?

lol...sick

 

Very nice !!
That is one fine engine bay !!

 

Sinister,

Engine bay looks fantastic.......What did you do with the master cyclinder?

 

I still have it...why do you need it or something

 

Wicked...

Great detail work!

 

looks awesome as always! I still think the pictures with the bikini girl on the hood and roof are the best though You should post some of those new pics up on newyorkfbody too. We need the 3rd gen representation!

 

Thats just plain AWESOME

 

Way Cool!!

 

I like it!

Any reason you painted the upper strut tower black?

What is the intake coated with?

 

looks amazing as always. You should really spring for a dyno tune session, not just jetting due to black smoke. Or perhaps purchase a wideband 02 to tune it properly. I have the AEM uego and am very happy with it $260 for the guage one. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

 

I love your car and always have, one hot car

 

Ditto, i have always admired it. About the only thing i would have done differently or would have done when it was being pained was to fill all those open holes. Other then that i don't think that engine compartment could get much better. I actually like how you painted the strut tower caps black, its a nice touch.

 

another quick question, do you work on it yourself or does that shop do the work for you?

 

The strut tower tops are painted black because if I do an alignment the scratches won't show up as easily as if it were to be painted a different color.

The next thing to get is a wide band gauge for the car...thanks for the reminder.

And lastly I am not afraid to get my hands dirty...I do work on my car from time to time myself for the most part...for the big jobs my mechanic does it

 

when you get that wideband let me know if you need help in tuning those carbs, i have a little experience

 

Funny Nick But I was asking did you remove the brake booster and if so how the brakes work and feel. See you in the spring............

 

Will do...thanks!

The booster was removed 2 years ago and the feel is good...you just have to press a little harder...that's all!
