IT LIVES! It lives Igor! Finally!!!!!!!!!!

Paint isn't great, but the body is straight and it's finally running after a year and a half of gradual work on her. Now, everybody can get ready for a host of questions as I try to work through the remaining problems. :evil2:

And btw, thanks to everyone who through advice, suggestions, and raiding their spare parts got my project this far.

Good quality hose sets. They make them in kits for various applications, including our Supra's.

Is that a ceramic paint on the intake manifold, valve covers and 3k pipe?

looks like powdercoating

:naughty: Glad it looks that good! But it's just a hi-temp candy blue paint, 4 layers of paint under 3 layers of hi-temp clearcoat. Couldn't afford the powder coat of about the same color right now, so I settled for that paint for the time being.

So the paint and the clear-coat are high temp or just the clear coat? It certainly look good.

Both are high temp. Spent about 2 weeks sanding and polishing everything by hand, then degreased and painted/sealed it. They took a little damage, some dings and chips during assembly, but still not too shabby. Definately sets off those parts from the rest of an otherwise blah engine compartment.
