I've never sent anything to them to get coated.....never had a real need to before this project. But with trying to keep as much heat in the pipes as possible, we don't just want to throw some high temp paint on them and cover them in header wrap.
After all the work that's gone into this, if those pipes come back not looking how we want them, you can be damn sure they'll be going back.
This thing is gonna be just as much a working show piece (mechanically anyways) as it is daily driver / race car.
Anytime we go to the track, events whatever, the hoods on my truck and his car are usually up for folks to see.....how ya gonna trust your ride to someone to work on when you don't see their own stuff.
I mean when ya tell someone that it's gonna cost them $10K to do this kinda work on their car, they usually want to see a preview of the finished product.....and what it'll do on the track and dyno.
Some guys are all secretive about their cars, their setups, their numbers, etc....whenever we go somewhere, the dyno sheets are in the window, the time slips are in the window and the hood are open to take a peek.
If a guys not willing to show off his work, keep walking.
So yeah, if they don't come back looking like the money spent, they'll be making a return trip in short order.
That would have to be one HUGE 4150 carb. Why not a dominator?
