Engine Painted and front wheel painted.
 We used a wire wheel and sandpaper to strip most of the paint off the engine then used Dupli-Color Engine primer, paint, and clear coat. We cut CD print sticky paper to make a ring to cover a small amount of white paint we sprayed on the engine before the black, after taking the sticky paper off, we have a white ring similar to what came on the engine from Rupp. This picture is before taking the paper off.
 We also made an intake manifold from some metal tubing and the mounting brackets the previous owner used. We slid the adapters into a pipe we bent with a coating of JB weld as a sealer/cement. Then we used body fill to help make it look like one piece instead of three, and painted it on the engine.
