ok guys what do you think of the blue powder coated vc and the rainbow powder coated intake, the pics are good that is how the intake looks in the light

i'm bringing back the 70's with this intake, like the old bumper stickers.

Hey man, put a disco ball under the hood and a freaking light (like why doesn't my Dream Cruiser have one already?!?!) and you're golden!

Where's my Bee-Gees CD at ?

I think it looks great... I 'd like to do something with my intake and valve cover . Problem is it's my daily driver so unless it can be done quickly as in a weeks time (while I'm on vacation) or I purchase extra intake /valve cover it can't happen . I'm sure what you did Tommy would hold up and look better even after a winter in NY with road salt . Congrats !

I think it looks great. Now - what did you use for the "rainbow powder coated intake". I wanted to do something with mine but did know what to use with the high heat.[^]

Tommy,

Since you have access to both parts and painting, have you considered offering finished Valve Covers and upper intakes for a set price with exchange of older pieces?

ok guys i will do an exchange service on the valve cover and intake this way no one has to be in a car down sitution. the intake and vc are powder coated not painted and it won't come off.

i can do the intake for 150.00 with a 100.00 core charge to be returned when you send me your old intake back

i can do the valve cover for 125.00 with a 100.00 core charge also to be credited back when i get the old vc back.

i hope this helps you guys out that want to do something like this to your pt.just email me and we can talk about colors, i only have one extra vc and intake so i can help one person at a time.

thanks tommy[|)]
