is blue on extractors engine enamel or hitemp paint(or just reflection)? Looks great would not worry too much about painting much else just go around and clean/replace any faded hoses etc.

looks good you should paint the extractors to match the blue you've used.. or get both the intake manifold and extractors done in HPC

get a bottle of autosol and attack anything metal, doesn't come up any were near as good as removing it and sanding back first, but a lot easier to do if your as lazy as me!
looks very blue in there - nice job!
