I sand blasted the shroud and recoil and painted them flat black to add some contrast to the block. I actually had to take a torch to the predator sticker on the recoil just so I could blast it off. You can also see the early stages of my custom intake manifold. The flanges are 1/4" aluminum that I had laser cut at my work and the tube is 1/8" wall aluminum that I bent at my shop on the Hossfeld.
