Hey, how can there be two votes?

i was wondering the same thing! i should have made the vote public so that we could track him down. :)
 
anyone notice how at the top of this page, the google adds list a whole bunch of stuff like pink strollers and toilet seats? that's something i never expected to see on a page about trucks with cajones.
 
The Stroker in my '81 is black
My Cummins is factory black
The 360 in my wife's truck is *gulp* purple

:D So what's the story behind all your colors?
I've been diggin the Rat Rod stuff lately, partly cause I was lookin at them 50 years ago too. Its the GM crate motor ..7353, been sittin in the garage for over a year. So I finally get to it and I'm thinkin (Von Dutch, Hendrix, Maxx, Zappa) dayum black is boring. Painting the block is PITA, the intake I ported 15 yrs. ago, had it stripped, can't leave it bare aly. I didn't want to spray cause it was either cold/wet, so Rust-O-Leum. All the non-GM is non-black, also non-iron except for the dampner.
In general, two generous coats of Rust-O-Leum on castings looks like powdercoat, stuff flows-out nice before it sets; first coat must dry.
I'd be honored if a new-old phase started with motor colors.:D
 
ok - so now we need to see 3 more LEGO motors - and I still need to see a pic of the purple motor, which i believe exists, and that pink one - which i'm still to be decided upon. Come on, people!
 
Mine is orange, cause that was factory and it stands out.
