Default Got this baby back from powder coat today and had to show her off!

I built one of these a while back and by customer request, painted it gloss black. I had a lot of positive feedback from everyone about the color, they all thought it was black chrome...so I decided to get this powder coated "black chrome". Anyways, I thought it turned out pretty nice, and a nice alternative for all of those who hate the polished look. The manifold is flanged B16A/B18C5, and flanged for a Ford Mustang 75mm throttle body. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks great, where did you buy the powder from, I have seen some good colors at Eastwood paints.

No, no, no, :-) I didn't powder coat it myself...I fabricated the manifold and afterwards took it in to get fabricated. I am unsure what brand of powder the guy uses, sorry.

Thanks to everyone! especially dave@passenger...not too long ago he pretty much told me I had very little skills and not much to offer the scene...guess I've come a long way in a short time?

And CRMB...I didn't mean litterally but thats not a bad idea either :-)

I've got some cool projects up my sleeve, I think the northwest will be seeing a lot of my stuff at the race tracks and shows this coming year. Working hard.

I don't recall having said such things, you must have me confused with someone else.

Its intended as a joke. I'm not one to take myself too seriously...like to kid around...noticed a lot of people here take things way too seriously, or take things the wrong way. Just have'n fun :-)

Oh, but don't test me because I really am a baddass ;-)

not bad. Any dyno number comparisons? Good luck as well especially in the NW. I would be interested in doing a dyno copmarison to my edelbrock manifold.
