So finally got a little bit of work done. I've been procrastinating for some reason. So I finally got off my butt and got some work done.

Spent today working on my Explorer Gt40 upper intake. This thing looked like it was set on fire and beat with a wet chain. So I gave it a little love today:

Got started with the paint stripper:








All cleaned up ready for primer:










1st Copy of Primer:


2nd Coat:


3rd Coat:


Final Coat:


Lower fins prepped:






Plan is to Paint it black, clear it over and polish up the intake plate. Letting the primer dry and then on to the black

That intake looks sharp Eric. Nice job.

and these new center caps were given to me by a good friend, cause she's just that cool!

Looks good... It gives me a lil direction with what I want to do with my 91. I know there are much better expensive options out there but I am looking at a budget build to teach my kids about cars.

Let us know what you think of the intake change...

oatburner99

you bet....except it's going to be more than just an intake change...
