Not much to look at, I have to get a different set of side seals for the rear main cap cause I'm not sold on the Felpro fill it with RTV and shove a wet pipe cleaner into it system.

Its coming together, I hope to have some M/T valve covers for it this weekend, if the ACME delivery system works. Along with the valve covers shinny headers aluminum water pump and housing it will have some bling, but the Torker II I picked up is painted black. The easy way out is to paint it blue, but I kinda think it needs bead blasted back to natural, if I only had a blaster. Oh, it's going to have A/C is why its blue :D

I have some but I traded a part with Ray for them, but ACME delivery needs new management :lol: I'm going to set the stock ones on it to keep dust out for now but I'll keep you in mind if you don't bump into some when I'm ready to let them go.

I bought one of those cheap Harbor Freight type blast cabinets a while ago. I used it like it was for a while and then did the TP Tools upgrade of the pick up tube and gun. http://www.tptools.com/p/2320,22_USA-Cabinet-Gun-and-Pickup-Tube-Upgrade-Kit.html
I just upgraded the gun to ceramic nozzles. The only other thing I did was to seal the box with aluminum tape and hook my old shop vac to it to cut down the dust inside.

I just might have to look at a cabinet. Ive made room in my other building selling crap I no longer needed, so it could go out there.

Thanks John, my HF cabinet works like crap. I figured it was the gun.

I actually was thinking and the conclusion I came to is that it will need new tubes. I am going to chuck it up in the mill and see if I can open up the banjo and put some new tubes in it. We will see, its a good one to experiment with. :lol:

OK Basketcase, ACME Shipping came through, I got the valve covers. I think I'm going to take the intake down to the powder coat outfit and have them put a ceramic finish on it.

Man that looks nice. I have a feeling this project is going to get sidelined. :pot:
