I think the wheels give it a clean look.

Going from the first page. How close does the reflective chrome powercoat look like chrome? Also did eric do it?

yes Eric did it.

It looks more like a nickel or a polished metal than chrome. To me its a nice blend when used in small details (small brackets, etc) but like adding any color to an engine you can over do it quick.

Well I guess I am going to go ahead and start on it again so the wife can drive it back and forth to work.

Ordered the FMIC kit last night and MM LCA's and c/c plates today. About to do some more shopping

yeah I am going to see about hauling it to the shop within the next week or so to finish the disassembly and then I will bring the turbo to you to work your magic. I believe the ranger roller is coming out and one of boport's new rollers is going in.
While you have the turbo i will probably go ahead and yank the head off for a checkup
