This took about a min, I've had this very expensive paint for a few years. And figured it would look good on this goon. It is a 4 sided pearl $40 an oz. I had just enough to paint something small.

Little update for today no pictures though carbs and manifold have been ordered and my buddy is shipping my motor to me at the end of the week and there has be a change in plan for the motor no more vg

 

So, what are you doing with the distributor? I am sure you could sell it pretty easy.

Those flames are hot! :cool:

Thanks I couldn't be happier with them and there not something you see on your average 510 the pictures don't do them any justice when you see them in person they change a bunch of different colors depending on how the light hits them

Very Nice! I remember that the "shaved goon" bre color scheme had the purple flames that were sick. Also done by James.. A nice touch to the engine bay.. What engine are ya going with? VQ35???

Was going to go carb'd vg30 but one of my buddies gave me a free n/a sr20 so the plan is a carb'd sr20 with dual mikuni 44 side drafts figure it's the best of both worlds newer motor with that nice old school feel from the dual carbs should be fun for now and once the projects done and running I would like to build a sr22 but thats going to be a while :thumbup:
