    OK,

      Here we go. The center egg-crate section of the grill is now black to offset the argent silver surround. There is now a Dodge emblem on the front center of my hood(The Hemiken experiment). The intake has been powder-coated silver metallic with clear coat. The aluminum battery top is now clear coated too. This should add a few more horse power. Look out StRoKer.   :bigshades:

    I bought the battery cover on E-Bay. It is made just for the Optima batteries. Actually, it's a whole assembly that replaces your battery tray.

    Unfortunately changing my signature pic requires brain power, which I am short of now.  :pullinghair: I always have fits uploading to the host site. Give me a year or two, and I'm sure I'll get it changed.   :grinyes:

    Dave,

      I put some self-etching primer on first, then followed it up with a semi-gloss black made by Rustoleum. Hey, I know we are talking about aluminum here, so it won't rust... But I was in Home Depot, and that's what they had.  :grinyes:
