I've been working on this for about 6 months over the winter. I still have quite a few things to be done yet. Everything is still filthy still because I just wanted to get it running, but here it is.

Powdercoated
Intake hat
Throttle body
valve covers
coolant crossover tube
MAF
Mounting plate for the spark plug wires that sits on top of the alternator
Metal cover that covers the EGR tube

Painted
All the EGR stuff
IAC
Alternator
Every bolt
Tons of misc. brackets

The Powered By SVT plaque replaced my really nasty engine build sticker. Chopped down a ton of excess length on bolts, still have to do that to some. Still have to move the wiring harness into the fender, and move around a bunch of other random wires. Going to pick up a set of red Taylor spark plug wires, etc. A lot done, but still a LOT of detail stuff to do...

What I started with...

Here it is now...

Nice job. Very tasteful and not overly done. Some people get too carried away.

Strut tower brace going back on?

I've got the Down's Ford bread box and I wanted to paint it like you did your intake and after about 3 minutes of trying to get those ridges red, I gave up. How'd you do it? It looks awesome!

I didn't do the powdercoating myself, just the painting, but I do know the guy I had do the powdercoat free handed the red ridges...
