Great work!!
Thanks! I was hoping that it would prevent some heatsoak. The included K&N "heat"shield really does nothing to prevent heat from passing through, especially with it being unsealed.

where did you get your STB bolts? Mine rusted over already... got them 2 weeks ago, kinda pissed.
Mine are all stock lol.. I plan on getting stainless nuts and bolts for engine mounts/dogbones/stb/crossovers etc.

Thanks! I never thought about polishing the engine mounts lol.. I painted those silver because I wasn't sure that my polishing skills even existed That's why I tested on something small like the t-stat housing haha.

Well done... Very coooooooool...... Once you insulate it, it will be as totally functional as any $300-$400 unit... Gotta love it... I am also thinking about polishing a few items, but I think I will need a dremmel tool...

Yeah I just checked those out, look great! I only used up to a 400 grit since it was all I had haha! Going to pick up finer grit paper and hopefully get it to a better finish. Wana do my Mounts now? haha

Yeah I believe mine are the hex ones as well. I'll probably repaint mine, they're starting to rust

Thanks! I have about $50 worth of stuff into it and I only paid $150 for the K&N on ebay. Lots of time though. All in all I think I will have a saved a little $$$ but spent a lot of time haha.
