How much do you charge?

 

I'm not sure, never thought about what it costs to do. Have only done stuff in the engine bay for free for friends. Can't really see it in the picture but most bolts around the engine bay are all ARP. Plenum and 12mm are the exception since ARP doesn't really make 12mm and the plenum holes are too small for the flared seat ARPs. You don't want to know what that cost to do, but OCD and all the bolts match in style and markings. lol

Timing cover is not too hard. Off and back on in 3-4 hours if it was a time constraint. Just a little messy since the oil pan has to come off.

 

sweet you do it for free???? I am down...lol

thanks for the ideas guys I am definalty going to use some...this winter should be interesting....LOL

 

all that polish is nice on a show car. on a car that DD, you'll be spending more time for upkeep than you do driving. Polished Al oxidizes very quickly and needs constant attention.

good luck.

 

I daily my FX, my commute is 100 miles a day. I have not seen any of my polished aluminum oxidize. There is some upkeep involved for sure, it's just like owners that take really good care of their paint.

 

hey viet, any difference between polished stuff? How come i see some of the polished stuff look more like chrome and the other juss look cheaper i guess?

 

Some materials are harder requiring more buffing. The better the buff and clean job the better the high polish. Steel parts are chromed, so the coolant pipes and othe rstuff liek that are chrome. My front timing cover isn't as well buffed as John, and Martys. Some stuff also take more abuse than others. No wheel well liner FTL!!!! It's better now since we enclosed the engine bay but still gets pretty dusty from daily driving it.

 

my G gets driven 1 week out of the month and maybe 8 months out of the year cause of weather and work...so I don't mind....

Rookie your FX is so SICK.... did you repaint it????

 

Thanks man, yeah finally changed the color a few months ago. I'll be in Idaho next weekend.

Driving it there for any doubters.

 

I drive less in a month than rookie does in a day - and his car remains show quality!!!

He's not bs-ing about dd his FX... he has been kind enough to help me out with a ride a couple of times. and it looks as good (if not better) in person!
