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.

drat......two of the wheels will not strip completely...
I have used 4 cans of HD oven cleaner, brillo pads and scuff pads and can not get all the anodizing off of the last two wheels. I may take one over to Sportech on Monday PM and see about a little media blast... if that works then I will finish them all the same with the media blast recessed areas and polished rims and raised spokes...if not then I guess it is off to the wheel polisher after all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) bummed, since the first two turned out so nicely and stripped easily....
