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.
good luck Vinnie!! btw we are going to pic up another toy on thursday ;)
may the force be with you
Holy !!!! Don't tell me where you get that kind of money. It's either illegal,or it'll make me jealous.
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.
LMAO!!! Uncle Sam was very generous with us this year :D
Good ol' Uncle Sam. I work for him.
Down to business.....the "as it is now" teaser pic. I'll get it all pretty soon enough. For now,here's the GT-40 intake plate I made today.....

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....

The one for my car has 4 holes,the other is the one I fabbed up....

you should use your hand model more often...it really spices up your posts...lol
ooooooh shiny.
You're right !!! I loooooove those tiny little hands.
I wish I had hands like that how do you keep them looking so nice and clean? what is your secret Vinnie???
.....And he still has time for french manicure...
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.
Very nice work Vinnie, looks great.:bowdown:
UUUUUmmmmmmmmmmm...... not sure how to reply to this?
My Dad always told me to date women with small hands , He said it would make my stuff look bigger:hick:
So does shaving your.......
......nevermind. mustache, yeah thats it.
