That manifold does look sick smoothed out. I thought about that but didn't know the correct what to knock all the metal down and still keep it "stock" looking. Though about having a machine shop do it but very expensive.
I do look at this stuff, I just don't comment so much. Lol. But damn, your metal finishing is awesome.
It looks smooth like that, but I think it looks better being able to see both intake runners. Just my thought though.
What is your process to shave and smooth these types of things? Your work is amazing. I am saving up for that valve cover idea btw and will be contacting you shortly for that...
