You can always pick up all the covers that Kirbans has. I also like to chrome brackets, had the alternator, it's brackets, the vacuum lines and throttle ones done up. Easier to keep clean. I used Advanced Plating for all the brackets.

Hey Mark, can you elaborate more on the advance plating? Company, prodcut, etc??

Nice car Doug, how do you keep your engine and bay so clean?

Check my sig for the link to my pics. I have a little bit of chrome....Just enough to set off the engine bay. I also polish the hell out of my front mount ic pipes.

Well this las winter was the first since I had the car that I hadven't pulled the engine for one reason or another. When I pulled the engine every winter it made it real easy to clean everything up and put a fresh coat of paint on things that needed it. Now I just use Simple Green and a garden hose to clean it up whenever it needs it. Then dry with compressed air and re-shine everything with some Mothers aluminum polish.

I wear my sunglasses at night to view Mark's engine bay at the Cruise Nights.

We've got some triple plated chrome items in the works. These include: upper radiator plates for the '86/'87 TR's, hood hinges & strut mounting brackets, hood latches/springs/& latch receiver brackets, & ps. sensor mounting brackets. Prices will be available soon. Thanks guys.

 

[Boston GN]

Mike, definitely keep us posted!!
That stuff would be fantastic to have readily available

Where can you get a chrome radiator shroud from? Stock '87 GN's dont have a shroud right?

 

[Michael McCoy]

We'll should have the prices next week sometime. I'll post them as soon as I find out. The '86/'87 TR's did not come with shrouds, thus we'll be chroming the upper radiator plates with the integral fan shroud mounting tabs. Thanks.
