Stang, let us know how it goes with the manifold sanding I started a few weeks ago, and **** I never thought it would be so damn hard. Here are pics. It's the one in the right hand corner, it's a GT 40 Off A Explorer

For the intake I:
1)Stripped the powder coating with chemical stripper
2)Sanded both Upper and lower with 80 Grit, then followed up with 120 Grit (Using Dremel)
3)Used wax and grease remover to get all the grunge outa cracks and surface
4)Use a high heat (ceramic) primer layed 3 coats let it flash then cure for 3 days
5)Use low gloss black (Ceramic) high heat paint 3 coats as well then let cure for 3 days
6)Went overwith (ceramic) high heat clear coat about 5 coats which brought out that nice shine I have more pics if your interested.
Looks Tight in person

RE: Body Work Pics & Info
^^ Im using 80 grit also. As I was saying though w/ the doors. I would of been better off just using my doors; the only reason why I didnt was because I didnt feel like replacing the motors, glass, etc. I figured I would get good doors and just do some minor body work and they will be good. Guess I was wrong!
