    Ok, so I finally got rid of the red Techco lettering and went with blue (Thanks Loid's Rides). I also had to clean up the throttle body as it had stains all over it when I picked up the car. Really no big deal as I have been wanting to polish the TB for the past couple years. lol

    Well, I finally went out and bought the dremel polishing kit with polishing compounds and went to town. Now, I did NOT sand the TB to a smooth finish as I am just too lazy. haha Didn't come out too bad though and only took me about two and half hours, start to finish (including disassembly and assembly).

    I do have some other under hood things that will be added as the summer marches on, so stay tuned...

    Ron, that really looks good, any tips on how you did the Techco Painting? I need to re-do my lettering in Red. Did you tape it off or just free hand? Did Techco loose your TB wire loom support bracket? I'm sending you mine in the morning for the polishing, maybe that will fix my problem.

    Yea, I had my painter do it. hahahahaha Since one of his guys is a pinstripe guru, Dave free handed the paint, then wiped off the excess.

    No they did not lose it, it was pretty much destroyed from the last company that installed my old paxton kit. I just need to get to the parts store and buy a new bracket.

    Send it over Chuck, I would be more than happy to finish the TB off for you. Hint: Keep the wire loom bracket or you "Won't" get it back. lol

    Me sending you the TB is not to far fetched, I am thinking that Hemi 911 maybe missing the summer, and be a garage Queen! I see changes coming real soon.
