So my latest build is a '75 Appearance Group car.
Car is currently in the body shop being stripped to bare metal. Motor and tranny were just rebuilt... going for a retro look. Rivs, Porsche negative side stripe, Monza exhaust, Vittaloni mirrors and a few interior items to keep it '70s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) got a load of stuff from MikeK (914magazine) today. 4 very nice Rivs 2.0L heat exchangers with associated heater stuff Monza exhaust 2.0L muffler hanger Koni front struts spare trigger points Custom pedal board original grain vinyl for the sail panels and targa bar here are some pics of the stuff. first pic is one of the heater tubes media blasted second pic is tube final product. entire exhaust system will be done the same. Pic of one of the Rivs I did a quick polish with power ball and aluminum polish.. black paint on the Rivs is perfect, just needs to be cleaned and waxed. here are a couple of pics of stuff that will be media blasted by myself tomorrow and then painted by me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The point of this car is to build a daily driver that looks period correct, and to be a PAX weapon in the GGR AX series. Even with a very moderate suspension package I will be in AX 16 which will give me a very nice multiplication factor for TTOD.

Looky what I found the other day.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
with a little bit of various grits of sand paper and then some aluminum polishing compound, these should shine up pretty good like my last set....(bottom pic) Attached image(s) |

Looky what I found the other day.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) with a little bit of various grits of sand paper and then some aluminum polishing compound, these should shine up pretty good like my last set....(bottom pic) Dan - those look sooooo nice! - now don't ruin those Fuchs 2L's by polishing them up all over or otherwise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) the OE finish on them!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Be careful not to take off that excellent lower sheen background & the anodizing all over on those. I wouldn't use the sand paper - just polish, since they appear to still retain their OE finish - which remember is more of a semi-polished finish due to the anodizing. See the pix of original wheels on Steve G's Sahara Beige 73 2L at the O&H "The few, the rare..." nailed thread for the OE finish in all its glory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) If you really want to fully sand & polish up a set of Fuchs 2L wheels, I'll trade you a set I have for those to have your fun with - & I'll keep those as they are in OE finish! Heck, I'll be coming thru your way the week of 4/26 for a conference in SF & will drive them up for the swap buddy!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
