How much was the paint? Did you have the trim anodized or painted? Who anodized them or did you buy them that way.
Nice pistons! I can't believe the dome on those. Are you going with a crank fire ignition or can you get away with stock? Good job. |

If you can't get happy with those pistons, you just aren't going to get happy!
Good luck, David Duffield BTW, the color is great. |

Jabb,
Thanks! We're getting there! Robert, Haydn says that the enamel finish will never chip, so after a full season of sprints it should look just as good! CM, All up, the respray is setting me back $3K. Isolon, The window trim was painted in a matte finish. As for the dome on the JEs, John hasn't mentioned anything about a crank-fire ignition, so I'm assuming I'll be able to get away with the stock ignition. David, I might see if I can buy a single JE piston to put on my desk. Okay, they look sexy in a photo, but in the flesh they're something else! Thanks everyone!

I like the color, not to dull but not flashy either...it is not the "yellow officer,...was I speeding?"

Plain fan,
It's taken awhile, but the color has finally grown on me -- it's the color only an enthusiast could fall in love with, I guess. I probably would have changed the color if my transmission had not have required a rebuild. Lou, Yeah, I (now) agree! Mrdi, Thanks! |
