Plenum cover/cooler is done. The real purpose of this upgrade was two fold. One I wanted to take more advantage of the F.1 hood for cold air induction on the plenum now that the new ram air NACA duct was added to the front cover. This cover sits as high as is possible, without hitting the hood when closed, to get it in to the air stream of the F.1 hood scoops. This air is now diverted into the  open area of the cover. Than flows over the plenum and is extracted out through the top and back of the plenum cover/cooler. This reduces plenum air temp more than before creating a denser charge!

The other was  too have deeper finned top, a little more bold! So to speak.

Sorry Kiwi, I missed this! Well for the finish on the aluminum I do a couple things. First let’s assume that the aluminum is well polished to start! You know buffed, no scratches, mirror finish! We all know aluminum even in that polished state oxidizes. To keep the finish bright and mirror like I use only a terry cloth material with Happich Simichrome.

This is the only aluminum polish I’ve ever used! Yes I have tried others & to be blunt they just plain failed!

The blue on the Indian is a pretty paint & an interesting one! I love a black car! I’ve almost exclusively owned black cars, but when I saw the blue on this car I knew that was for me! It’s a metallic paint, but it is also a flip-flop paint! So depending on the light, the type of light, sunlight, florescent, incandescent. It can appear blue, electric blue, purple, iridescent purple among other variations!
