[QUOTE="5spd07gt, post: 14446170, member: 90110"] In anticipation of having my car tuned at Horsepower by Hermann this winter I have begun to modify an extra Eaton I picked up over the summer. It was originally ported by Steggy and then re-ported and rebuilt by Posi. First, I used a Dewalt angle grinder and shaved both the Ford and SVT off the face. I then sanded the whole thing with 600 grit sand paper and cleaned it thoroughly with caliper cleaner and a toothbrush. I taped off the areas I didn't want to paint with green painters tape and trimmed it with a razor blade. Proceeded with 3 heavy coats of VHT Wrinkle paint. The key is HEAVY coats in a cross hatch pattern. When first applied it appears smooth and glossy. It doesn't begin to wrinkle until after an hour or so. For the best outcome paint it in warmer weather. I allowed it dry in the sun. Now onto the pics... Shaved face and taped off...
