Engine Parts - Art?

Here are some additional examples of manifolds that have been painted and beautified by other SHO owners . . .






Purty aren't they?

Porsche Project - Engine parts

Since I have a progress thread for my Porsche project it doesn't make much sense to duplicate my postings here, so I will note some highlights with links to the latest changes. The last couple of days have involved cleaning and prep for painting the SHO intake manifold and valve covers.

The intake manifold is quite large and there are numerous attachments that I will not be using on this car so the bosses where these mount can be removed. This should make the already beautiful intake manifold all the more attractive.


Some are certain that only a gear-head could appreciate the beauty of something so mechanical, but I've never been accused of being, or consider myself, a gear-head. The beauty for me lies not only in the form but also in the function.


By modifying it I'll be removing some of the eccentricities and restoring some of the basic symmetry of the design. Plus it will get a nice dose of color to tie it into the overall theme.

So this is Blogging? Thanks Kirsten!

I was so delighted to read Kirsten's first posting to her blog, that I thought I should give this a try. I tend to use emails as a regular means of communicating with specific individuals, but I can see the benefit to general postings in a blog like this that are available to any who are interested. It's like having a "Progress Thread" for my life. Hmmm - that's an encouraging thought.

But back to Kirsten's posting. Wow - what a wonderful and refreshing writing style you have! I thoroughly enjoyed reading & laughing at your predicament. Jason should see this as an opportunity for practice - as you never know what's ahead in your future. Better to prepare now!

Kirsten - we should try to get Jer in on this. What do you think?
