I have to agree! I personally don't like Foose's designs with all the stripes and graphics he tends to add... On top of that Foose would probably end up putting a boat anchor NA SBC/BBC in it that could probably only muster up 400hp.... I like a car just like Lauer's... Clean and well detailed!
I think Troy Trepanier of Rad Rides could probably build a sweet TR

Didn't Troy build the Buzilla about 10years ago?
It was on the cover of all the car rags.
That thing was kind of peachy/orange type color.

Steve,
Do you know what coating was used on his Intercooler pipes and the down-pipe.
I am getting all kinds of different stories
Jet Hot claims if you want everything to match they recommend JetHot 2000 comes in silver, black or blue. I would do the silver however it looks dull. I would do the DP and the Turbo exhaust housing in JetHot2000 and their polished 1300 for the intercooler pipes and the MAFF pipe but then it would not match in color
I contacted Thermo coating and they only have black up to 2400 degree and then they would do the polished 1300 on the intercooler pipes and the Maff pipe, but then again it will not match
Any help

Travis,
Check this place out. They can make it all match. For the headers and DP it's actually coated twice. Once with the 200* stuff and a second coat with whatever.

Thanks I will call them, I am glad you know where I am going with this. Most of the companies I spoke to want to do the intercooler pipes and the Maff in 1300 and the DP and the exhaust side of the Turbo in 2000. That is great saves me money, however the difference in the 2000 and the 1300 is also color
I am not pulling headers as you really cannot see them, so IMO it is not worth the hassle.
But I would like the MAFF, Intercooler pipes and DP and Exhaust side of the Turbo to match. I am fussy

I bought the magazine when it first came out and must have read and admired the pics 50 times since then.

Travis, sorry I'm not sure what he used As Bill said there are companies that can make it match and that would probably be your best bet rather than trying to make JetHot coatings match...
Post a pic when you're done so we can see how it turned out

Travis, I had my 4" inlet pipe and compressor housing coated by Calico Coatings out of North Carolina in a color they call KoolChrome. However it doesn't look like chrome. More of a polished aluminum look... Price was reasonable..and the pieces matched. But I did not have anything on the hot side coated. Before you send your stuff out call Jerry at Calico and talk to him. They also coat the inside of the inlet, intercooler and compressor housing with some type of teflon. Makes it really slick...Might not help any but the price was the same. HTH...I'd be happy to shoot some pics of my inlet pipe and housing...Don't know how much you would be able to tell from a pic though. Scott
Scott my man always looking out for me, got a number
Pictures please post...
Interesting enough, if you hit the search button. Many members are still up in the air and many companies are recommended. I want to stick with one place to have everything done so it matches, my OCD is kicking in
