    and no one noticed the new bed on my dually in the back ground ... :idea:
    I noticed your new bed Brian. I also noticed the fine quality of those pictures on your brand new Digital Camera.

    ahh ... you are correct my law enforcing friend! The brand new digital camera has made it's debut
    They tend to work really well prior to having a swim at the river
    I just need to test the video quality next :idea:

    okay, here are some updated shots after machining it for a ride plate and a shoe. Next it's off to powder coating.

    in these next 2, you can see where it's been drilled and tapped for a loader:

    I'll post up pictures of the powder coating process this week as well ... as soon as that's done, it'll be time to set it shortly after.
    Keep checking in for more progress ... it's coming together, slowly but surely.

    Precision Powder Coatings in Santa Ana ... we are a pretty large account for them, I see their results daily, great work ... I'm going to have them do my pump & hardware as well

    Sorry for the delay ... I received the intake back from Precision ... they did a great job ... here are the pictures of the intake done and ready for install:

    So there you have it ... an intake makeover from start to finish ... I know it's the basics ... but gives some of you the idea of what is needed to install a shoe/ride plate into an intake ... and that just because it looks like junk ... doesn't mean without a little TLC that it can't look like new once again.
