Default polishing.

can you send me a pic of your intake and valve covers? I'll see what kind of time and price you're looking at. I polish aluminum and stainles steel on the side.

hey josh, how far are you from st. pete. Unfortunatly it is my daily driver so it would need to be decent turnaround time. I would be able to give them to you in 2 weeks. here is a shot of the bay. The front intake manifold and the valve cover ontop, both silver currently, would need polishing.

Default Polishing......

The valve cover would be easy, but the tubes on the intake would be very tricky. All the tights spots between the tube would be difficult as well. I'd be afraid to attempt the intake manifold, because of all the cracks and crevices. But I could do the valve cover for $50. I live in Zephyrhills, which is 12 miles from exit 279 off I-75, where SR54 and US301 meet.

let me see what the other shops say but 50 for the valve seems good. could you do just the pipes for the intake manifold? if so how much would that be?

I could probably do most of the outside of the pipes. And let's just say $30 for the pipes, if you really want me to try it. I won't promise anything. But, if nothing else, you can always just paint it if you don't like it.
