Custom IDI Cover
Sunday, April 17, 2005 8:49 PM
After acquiring this half finished project from VABEACHKEVIN back in January, I finished it the way I envisoned it to be, with much help from a good friend.

It's a 2.3 H.O IDI Cover with RKSPORT Billet covers on both ends....Kevin had sandblasted it and painted it red... it was then sanded down, mirror polished and painted.

Comments welcomed.














Thanks,

I love it, what was it polished with and what kind of compound did you use?? also how did you go about polishing it, did you paint it first then sand the tops of the letters and work you way up to a finer grit then polish it. I was just wondering and I don't really know how to go about polishing metal. any info would be great, thanks

I think it looks good and you did a great job, but the more I stare at it, the more retarded the High Output looks to me. I don't know what it is, maybe its reminding me of that movie Short Circuit, "input, more input!" Maybe I'm just weird, but its just one of those words that look foreign to me even though its english.

Piping is half done, I have pics but I'm not uploading them cuz they'll tank photobucket on me.

Suffice to say, the effect I'm going for when the hood opens will be jaw-dropping GM engineering.

I get that effect everytime I open my hood....

Unfortunately its accompanied by the thought: "What the hell where they thinking?"

just curious, will the stock high output idi cover be a easy replacement for the stock ld9 cover. can you just take the twin cam one and just replace it with the highout put one?

Sorry freebs, I didn't do the polishing work to it.

LeNoble, yes, it bolts up.

It was custom made by VABEACHKEVIN.... the reason I bought it is nobody has one like it. Had to have a one-off piece for myself.
