Chrome/Powder Coated Engine Bay - Any Pics?

RE: Chrome/Powder Coated Engine Bay - Any Pics?
Here is mine I just put in. Everything that appears to be chrome is powder coated. I bought a used Eastwood powder coat kit and kitchen oven for $50. Then I spent about $40 on paint. The headers are ceramic, but everthing else is powder coated which includes the water pump, timing cover, valve covers, serpentine brackets, and cobra intake.

Here is another trick that turned out good. Buy the Duplicolor transluscent paint(I used blue) and clean and paint your factory chrome fuel line. Here is a pic of mine.

this isnt in my car, but it is for an engine that's disassembled currently. the intake is for a 351 Cleveland 4v
this is a tricoat powder job basically a "kandy" with silver base transparent blue and clear

gt40 intakes are much better than stock ones and can be bought from junkyards off of cobra stangs, lightnings, and some explorer5.0's along with gt40 heads.
and a lot of people use trickflow because thay have good stuff and you can always find a deal on them in the classifieds.
also if you want to start polishing things ask almoststock for tips, as you can see he polished EVERYTHING! and if i had the patience i would too
