Fairly new, very cool product. Also very expensive. I'm thinking about buying some for a fiberglass bumper on an old drag car of mine.Last edited by LoudPipesSaveLives; 12-07-2017, 7:26 PM. -
I was going to try it on some Sportster parts, but the fellow decided to polish instead ....Take my 45 and outrun em all ..Comment

Thats awesome, maybe I'll try it someday and make some cool letras for my bike. Well it also depends on how expensive it isComment

That's pretty amazing, though I bet it demands top notch prep work. Watching it dry so fast, I can almost smell the toxic fumes.Comment

Hummmmmm ......
Let's have a go with Powdercoat Chrome ...
Doing a bit of prep work by smoothing down the rough casting ....

Is that a Holly "Street dominator" manifold ? For street drags the way to go was with a dual plane intake manifold. I ran a Weiand single plane like that one and liked how it pulled upstairs. What carb and ignition ?Comment

That 780 is an old carb, nice touch, they went to 750cfm a long time ago. Either late 70's or very early 80's. I remember getting my Weiand intake and 750 carb for my 350 chevy powered '68 GTO for $125.00 from P.A.W !!! That was cheap for even back then around 1980. My brother had a 780 on his old 68GT 302 mustang that was heavily worked for the time . I wanted the 780 but it was already discontinued. Weren't the Rochester carbs on those old motors 850CFM with mechanical secondarys from the factory? That Holley possibly too small for that motor ?Comment

The owner loves old cars... Sold his 1930 Model A in order to build this one...
With his trade up from a four banger put-put car to a super muscle car, more than likely it will never see any WOT action....
Beautiful full restoration, it came out as a Rally Sport, but he has all the Super Stock options to turn it into a RS-SS car..Last edited by Dragstews; 12-24-2017, 3:13 AM.Take my 45 and outrun em all ..Comment

Don't know what they came with stock but my Brother had an original
'67 S/S Camaro. That had a 350 with 194 fuelie heads ( first car a 350 was put in if I remember correctly), Muncie m-20 4 speed and 12 bolt posi rear. It also had real magnesium
5 spoke mags. Don't remember if those were stock or not. The brake lt lenses were all red with separate reverse lights.Comment

Here is some words about the plaint on chrome ....
"So if a man did all his own prep work it's dirt cheap compared to having something dipped and it looks fantastic. I don't see a down side!"
He's talking about the powder-coat ...^^
Me in response " ..Well ..... Guess it would be a alternative to the plating process."
I asked him what he thought about the plaint-on chrome ...
His response "No thanks, I have heard too much negative review of that crap!!!!"
I asked, what did you hear ..??
He responded " I have heard from a couple guys that it peals off easy, no matter how well you prep the surface. Said goes on great, lays down good, looks nice but won't stay."
Hummmmmmmm .....
