I Love Gooooooold!!!!

I was going to just polish this thing to a mirror finish, but I had a sheet of 12x24 DEI Reflect-a-gold and a 30ft. roll of DEI Reflect-a-gold, 1.5 inch laying around. so I spent the day making templets and wrapping this Golden Eagle manifold. It truly IS golden now...
Before:


mess #1 about 2 hours in:


mess#2 about 2/3 finished (4 hours):


Finished product #1:


Finished product#2:


If you ever need to make a template for anything, I would recommend going to a quality dealership and acquiring a floor mat cover. they are made of thick paper and usually have a thin "grip" coating on the back. they work awesome and are free!

Way cool and a good tip for templates, too. That might come in handy when I make my eyelids.
