Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

had a bunch of stuff powder coated, not happy so only keeping one thing out of it! and gonna pay a visit back to the powder coater to express how I feel about the stuff (and the fact that i didnt get all my parts back)

the cross member came out really nice...

Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

had to get rid of all this stuff in the heads too... to go with something a lot weaker, dont want to much horsepower...

and this too...

also put a smaller pulley on cause wanna tone it down a little more

picked up a set of the stock style 305 manifolds, aftermarket wont work with my project, so added a little color to them...

Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

stock pulley vs. smaller (=less horse power pulley), which was too shiny for me so I had to black it out!

Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

my oil pan looks like sh*t, so gotta get all the powder coat of of it and re do it myself! Warren cleaned all my parts up real good, just to have my powder coater rush and jack it all up...

getting another pan and took my valve covers back to him, after our talk, I think he understands exactly how I feel and what I expect, hes normally good with my stuff, he misunderstood me and how clean I wanted it, cause normally i bring him polished stuff, cause it allows the powder to lay flat...

Re: 1984 Chevy El Camino

got the alternator I bought, used tested... after it passed, cleaned it up and touched it up with high temp paint... was horrible looking!

painted the pulley first, then back masked it and painted the rest
