Smokiemon944,

Beautiful engine! I see...I see...I see that someone must have sanded and polished so much that they (you?) probably don't have fingerprints left. I like the crossbrace too.

I think and I hope that it's just powdercoated. It's really nice!

Pic of my engine... I'll take one later and post it. It's dark already!

Yes, I lost all finger prints in the process. But no children were harmed.

Etnier, you get my vote for the nicest engine bay on a 968

The blue car's engine bay looks like that now, but with gray wires to match the gray interior Very nice John! Smokie's looks ace as well!

But this is the only pic I have on my computer:

Thanks, guys.
What did you have done?
Very little. This 1993 engine seems to have painted trim pieces: the fuel rail and valve covers are painted a platinum silver. Beyond that, I hand-painted the intake manifold, had the valve cover bolts plated, put on the lettering and red iginition wires.

There was some subtle Photoshopping, which probably makes the whole thing look cleaner than it did at the time.

Etnier's is always so clean, because he doesn't ever leave Maine to come to Hershey and get it dirty.
