Re: Chromed screws for intake
Ive got a great cheap solution, if u have the right tools. Get stainless bolts, sand the tops smooth, and the polish the poop out of it. It takes a while but the end result looks great. My dad did this years ago to his sbc '51 chev and it still looks great.

 It makes a nice touch. It's amazing how many people will ask where I get my bolts. It's fun to see their reaction when I tell them Lowe's.  Most say "I've never seen bolts like that at Lowe's. I'll have to look again next time I'm there."Profe56, if you want, I have a set of polished stainless intake bolts. I bought them from Summit Racing a few months back, and only used them for a month, then realized my engine was shot. I'm changing to an LS1 engine and no longer have a need for them. $10 and they're yours.
