A little of my own BLING

This color is so awesome,

AND NOW FOR THE MONEY SHOT

Nice

Is your accumulator sealed? If not, you wasted money on getting it coated. The dissicant inside it will be worthless in 24 hrs of exposure to the atmosphere. After that you just have a pretty bottle and a lot of moisture running through your a/c.

Yeah--most A/C systems recommend to put in a new drier once the A/C system is opened. You may get lucky with it if you capped the bungs immediately after opening the system, but Red is right--any lengthy exposure to the atomsphere, and it is a gonner....
But still, your truck is going to be freaking badass when done! I don't care if you live in Cali---I'll drive my happy-ass out there and see it when it's done!

thanks guys,
as far as the A/C goes, I talked with the shop and he said he has had hundreds of A/c apart for extended periods of time and has never had any problems. The shop that is doing the work is Synergy Motorsports. A very reputable shop.
I will keep you guys updated.

Test fitting some parts

Those valve covers are so badass. What was used to do the engraving?

[RedHeartbeat]

I love the tall valve covers, look generation 1. The LS2 intake is nice. It's about time someone found a use for one. They kill power on a N/A engine but I don't think you'll have to worry the least with those huge turbos. Are they ball bearing?

[txarkitekt]

Ri-damn-diculous! I am going to stop looking at Mark's setup cause I am getting so f-ing jealous...
