A few new engine bay pix - Coolant Overflow Tank painted

[portlandsrt]

The one part of my engine bay that wasn't "complete" was my stock coolant overflow tank. It always bugged me. I sent Steve over at SLH a new stock overflow tank to coat with a new material he was trying out... He really went all out for me. In the end, I wasn't happy with the end product. However, I am still incredibly thankful to Steve for giving it a shot...
So I figured,,,, heck,,, let's try shooting the tank with a black high temp high gloss rattle can. Turned out great. Drove it around yesterday in 90 degree temps and so far so good. Hope months of daily driving will allow the tank to look as good as it is now. While I was at it, I went ahead and covered up everything and painted the entire front of the engine compartment in high gloss black... Looks better than new.. Some pix:

Here are a few pix of the painted overflow coolant tank.. Since I had 2 of them,,, I went ahead and painted up both in high gloss black.
I have this one for sale if anyone wants it.. I'll take $60 shipped for it.

I'll be painting the upper supports in high gloss black (I tried it out in silver with clear,,, looks kinda cool through the grille,, but I'm going to black it out)
and cleaning my air filter soon. Seeing those pix make me realize how dirty that is..

First off,,, thanks for the compliments! I finally feel that my engine bay is complete now. Sometime down the road, I really want to replace my stock painted overflow tank with a polished/chrome tank and have a braided stainless line running from the radiator to the tank,,, but this will do for now.

nice..... now hook up that nitrous & go racin' !!!

I still haven't had my CF clutch installed yet... Or my line-lock... One of these days. Can't wait to join ya, Randy.

I was afraid the mess I made wasn't going to work out. I'm really sorry about that, I appreciate your patience and letting us try it out. It's a shame we have'nt gotten this to work. It's a great product, but somehow we're not getting ti to work on anything that's not a sign... :dontknow: I've not given up yet though...

 

[Ram From Hell]

Great idea with nice results, man!

I'll take that other tank off your hands. Figure shipping to the Seattle area, and PM me a total.

Hi Steve! No worries, my man. I went into it knowing it was experimental anyway. No need to be sorry. You're a great vendor and an asset to the VTCOA.....
