Re: Aluminum Intake finish
 

Good points by all.
I am really interested to see a good untouched example today of what Aluminum parts originally looked like,Block,Heads,intake,Trans.(albeit 35 years or so after those days)
I like that Ebay M22 main case as an example.

Crash,if you have some original examples as well,can you please post some pictures here for us all to View?
I,& a few here could help you post them if possible. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Darren,
I used a process on my intake called Color It Aluminum, it was an article that was given to me by Ron Norman at McHenry Classic Car. This apparently is a process used and developed by some corvette guys who attempted to get some of the aluminum parts back to the correct color and finish. I can say that it turned out pretty good in my opinion. If you need or would like a copy of this article that describes the process, I can get it to you. I do not have it in soft copy though.
