My new FPV GT-40 intake plate ......

This is my new intake plate for my GT-40 intake. It goes from the throttle body, across the top, and down about 80% of the driver side with the FPV badge recessed into it.

O.K., I was weak....filthy engine, but who cares? Body work starts soon. I may not use it forever, may change it to more of a factory style that I make, I'll let it sit and see if I like it. py night shot....

I like something different.  I don't want it to look like 30 other cars.

I'll have the engine detailed and back in order right before painting the car. For now, no point in it. Gotta get the new blue hoses, plug wires,  and new valve covers on, new paint on the engine, and a lot more.

Yeah, I'd recommend this, but I could also easily turn a paint job into a 100-200 hour ordeal. Doing it right can also get ridiculously expensive with breaking or bending trim as it comes off, reproduction stickers, etc.

Fully stripping down the engine bay of everything for paint is no picnic either. Still a must in my book for any nice paintjob. I'm actually doing mine on my bird right now. I'll be in about 2-300 work hours by the time I am done with just the paint/body work on the car. :)

I'll do some work on the engine bay before I'm done. Not looking for perfection under there. It's a driver, and will get dirty. I don't want a garage queen. I expect some rock chips up front as well. Right now, I'm still collecting parts to do all this work. I have boxes piled up in the garage full of parts waiting for their turn to go on. New wheels are happening as well.

Tell me about it !! LOL I'm thinking I have close to 500 hrs and still counting with what I may do with my covers, hood, and trunk lid.

So Vinnie, what wheels are you switching to?, or is that one of those "Wait till you see it" deals :D I also like that cover!
