OK, took a mental break from work and went out and buffed the wheel lips. I have one left. Then I can duct tape the shiney lips, soda blast the centers and get them painted.

Oh ya, after buffing the lips I wash the wheels with a soft brush and Dawn dish soap and run them through a cycle in the dishwasher to be sure there is no compound left behind or down in the space between the cast center and the wheel barrel.

Just got these back from the powder coater! I had the back of the wheels done also so brake dust will rinse off easily.

I'm heading to the tire store. I spent several hours removing over spray off the polished lips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) First and last time I will use this powder guy. I'm buying my own equipment. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) They'll do but it's not what I expected.

Thanks Rob! Happy Fathers day to you also. I am heading over to my oldest sons engagement party this afternoon and then building a counter in my youngest sons music store later on today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Squeezed in some work this morning before anyone else got up. For those who have followed this build you will likely remember this car was a frontal crash victom. It appears the car stopped but the energy in the rubber mounted engine didn't the engine seal shelf infront of the engine was bent and the ears on the transaxle snapped off.

Thanks to video from Dr. Evil and the replacement part he supplied I have the skill and the part to get this transaxle back in service. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I was out at 7:30 am degreasing the housing and getting it ready for the repair.

Just received the last few parts needed to install the engine and transaxle.

Great Vaccum line set from George at AA!

I had the muffler blasted and I painted it with Zinc weld through primer.

Engine and transaxle are mated. I hope to have the engine installed by the weekend.

I repaired the wiring for the backup lights. The ends are copper tubing. I penned the end of the tubing into a cone and used a flaring tool on the other end then soldered them to the wiring.

Some of the parts getting installed.
