Finally finished my "show carbs", I think I'll throw them up on "pay it forward"?

Seriously, they look so nice, I'm thinking about putting studs in the wall of my office and hanging the up like art.

I don't recommend that anyone else do this... It took forever.

That's pretty.

Wow. Outstanding.

Wanna sell 'em?

Very impressive. The chrome heat shield is a nice touch!

Nice job indeed, you should have shaved your balance tube and made a euro style.

Yep, put those beauties in a glass display case!!

They look hideous, I will be more than happy to take them off your hands and hide them under my hood!

How did you go about doing it? By hand or with a buffer and dremel?

Actually all of the above. but I started with sand paper of higher and higher grits... Up to about 1200... It's not a pleasant process.

I agree with the above that I should have used a euro-balance tube. Maybe I will sell this one on ebay and get one of those (I'm not going to start shaving/repolishing this one). Fortunately, that's the easiest item to polish.

Here is a slightly different angle. They really are so nice to look at that I'm seriously considering just bolting them to the wall of my office and naming them "Art".

Put it in your office break room kitchen. People will think it's a new expresso machine

That setup looks amazing....My intake wasn't polished and now that I see yours, I wish it was....

have a look at mine and then you will see how awesome it will look under your hood. I had the cad plated fuel rail and polished valve cover as well for the bling factor.

beautiful job....

You have a beautiful engine bay, I like to think that if I actually install them, they will have a nice home as well (see attached).

Very well done....mine was no where near that clean. I was going to try my intake this winter and wanted to know....how long did it take to get it smooth with the different grits of sandpaper? I've done wheels and I know it's a PITA so I'm thinking it's probably more tedious than labor intensive?

Also...were you wet-sanding?

thanks for the insight and congratulations again...
