Aluminum intake manifold restoration/reconditioning
A `67 L79 intake I just did in house.
Not spray painted. Not tumbled. Not vapor honed. Yea or nay? (Sorry about the meh lighting, I'm still a lousy photographer) |

I found the BEST Aluminum intake cleaner that leaves the factory finish is Aluminum Naval Jelly by Loctite.

Sorry, that's something I don't want to discuss. It's taken me a very long time (not to mention a significant financial investment) to figure out how to do this. No. Quote:
I've used that before and it works well, but it wasn't used here. Basically I just want to be sure that this is something that will pass aesthetic scrutiny. |

Eric, I'm not knocking your efforts but it looks like paint to me although it's not. Too much of a silver-chrome look IMO.
