I'm going out to fab the prototype GT-40 intake plate. I am having high hopes it turns out nice. I'll post a pic when I'm done.

The Force IS with me. I have one 95% finished. Pics later. I have to even out the aluminum. It's sanded different directions and looks bad. Once it's pretty,I'll snap a couple of shots.

This is as far as I'm going with it. Is it perfect? No. Is it a great substitute? Yes. It's not chrome finished by any means, but you can see yourself in it easily. The shape is mildly different ,but,it's hand made,so,that's the way it goes. I'm pleased with the finished results,though......Here's Gayle's hand modeling the newly finished GT-40 intake plate....

Nice work!!!

and X2 on the hands, gotta know what your secret is!

I think you should start using Nevr-Dull,  I have a ,,like 1/2gal size canister thats been in use for over 20years, If you store it upside down,,,and thats the key,, then your wool will always be moist on top.

I think you will enjoy it.

My secret to hands like that was to marry a tiny woman with awesome skin. Seems to still be working well.
