got bored....

 

wow really nice job dude

 

i used the belt sander to remove the casting ridges, but it left some pretty deep scars. won't do that on the second one. All sandpaper, with some mother's mag/aluminum polish

 

thats cool

 

holy damn thats a good job.

 

You sir are mental.

But I love it! :thumbsup:

 

looks great dude

 

haha, i know, you'll never see them, but whatever. It's the details that make a car.

 

Holy shiney batman! That took a long time I bet.

Clear coat it to keep the shine?

 

Yeah you may not see them but you will know it is there. Now keep them nice and clean, do you have any advise on polishing the valve cover on my SS/TC?

 

possibly, if i can get the local powdercoating shop to do it. If i can't powdercoat them, probably not.

 

Yeah, going though all that labor to do that, to get them powder coated clear, would be well worth it IMO. It shouldn't be more than $20 for both. But I am not sure how the factory rubber bushings would hold up to the 400-450 degree temps...

 

Good point, to be honest, i hadn't really thought that far ahead. Its not to hard to jack the car up though and give it a quick rubdown with the aluminum polish.

 

Yes true, just have a part of the weekly cleaning and they shouldnt get bad

hope this helps

i usually pull the wheels off once or twice a month to clean everything under there anyways. One of the downsides to cheap chinese coilovers is that they like to corrode.

 

WOW really nice job dude, So if you put your balt in shows be sure to bring a mirror with you to show off your work. Good Job bro!!!

 

^^^ Sorry to side track a second but you have a very nice sig cobalt blue

 

I've seen that. Good idea i guess hahah.

Now i need a yellow/black/chrome jackstand.

 

Thank you Vic Romano made it up for me

Nah just get a nice size mirror about the same width as your front end and just slide it a little under the front youll see them just fine

 

there's no way, the car is so low, and the 19's fill the wheel well so much, you wouldn't be able to see anything.

 

Oh ok then jack stands it is lol

 

maybe just a fancy block to keep it at ride height.

 

u upgrading to ottp cabs?

 

of course.

 

just making sure since i have followed the rest of ur suspension and noticed u still had stock bushings lol
ur gonna need a press to install them i tried for 2hrs without it then failed and then took it my friend, 5mins to do it with a press lol
