There was a swap meet up in Tucson this last Saturday that I decided to take a load of stuff up to. One of the things I decided to part with was a factory aluminum Q Jet intake for a SBC. It had been painted black and looked kind of scruffy so I figured I just go ahead and bead blast it real quick. It had come off a running engine about 10 years ago but it looks like it won’t ever go back on another one.

Into the scrap aluminum pile for a while……waiting to see what the price of scrap will go up to with the tariffs.

On the bright side I sold enough stuff to make the trip to the swap meet worthwhile and Cade was able to go up with me.
