Trying to refinish my brushed/machined aluminum air cleaner top, from an 85 5-speed 5.0.
The clear coat is only about half there and the 5.0 decal is also a lost cause (should say 5.8 in my app anyway ).
Sanding stuff down and re-spraying is nothing new to me, but I'm worried about getting a reasonably original looking finish on the aluminum. Do you think I can replicate it by careful sanding in a circular pattern "with the grain"? Any good tips for the new clear coat? Any tips for those stock replacement style decals all over the interwebs to stick?
Oh and a longshot but does anyone know a place I can get hose that will mate up to the snorkels but comes in longer than stock foxbody lengths? This is going in a car a good foot wider.
Thanks,
John
