Nice work, and I like those valve covers! Do you have to take them off in order to get to the lower intake runner bolts?

 

[drknow90rs]

Very nice! I think I would keep the GTA wheels, if you have 4 of them.

The valve covers can stay on and I can still get to the lower runner bolts. I do have a set of 4 GTA wheels just dont have the cash right now for tires. I have to strip the other 3 and polish and paint them. No time or money right now. haha

Awesome build. I have always had a thing for Grand nationals. Wow I'll have to keep up with this build. By the way is that a front GTA? Did you have to use a spacer?

That looks great so far! I like the lime green plug wires, I can't wait to grab a set for my car. When you polished the tank for the A/C, did you clearcoat it as well?

 

[fodoimp]

no Its just polished. Clear coat has a tendency to yellow polished aluminum over time. Ill just used a little Gliptone GT72504 Ultra Fine Abrasive Polish whenever it gets dull.

Hmm, it might be dificult to keep polishing it once it's refilled. I wonder if I could have the tank anodized? I have a place in town...

it is a front GTA. Didnt have to use a spacer but I will. I dont like how "sunk in" the wheels look. I can come out a whole 1.25" without any issues so I will definitely be running spacers. Plus it should help it corner better?
