New 20b intake plenum and runners

gmonsen · 02-10-2011, 06:22 PM

Haven't gotten the final pictures of the plenum yet, but have a few that show the plenum being finished. He is still working on the end cap on the plenum, because I got silly and decided to have him emboss a big "7" on the front (end) of the plenum. I probably have a picture of the wooden "7" he's using to emboss the end cap.

Here's the buck he's using to emboss the "7".

And, ere are a few shots of it almost completed, but some grinding and polishing to do.

I had Vic emboss the "7" design I made for my new emblems onto the front end cap of the plenum. He's welded it on and will do the final grinding today. Should have some finished pictures today.

Here's the end cap with the "7" embossed on it. Its fairly subtle and sitting behind the alternator, it won'y be seen easily, I suppose, but I'll know its there.

And here it is welded to the end and ready for grinding...

Here are some pictures of the completed (minus polishing and ceramic coating) plenum and runners. The grinding marks are like camouflage and make it hard to see the finished surfaces well. Victor's photography makes it almost impossible. I may be able to have him buff it out a bit and take some photos when his hands have stopped shaking from the hammering or whatever.

I'd love any comments on the "7" that I had Victor emboss into the front end cap. Its the same design as the "7" emblems I designed. Any feedback would be appreciated...
