Project 91 "SS" 3400/5spd

[woody90gtz]

I think it's baked paint, not powdercoat. Because there is a layer of primer on underneath the black... Whatever it is, it's tough. I've gone through 3 bags of sand since my last wheel post and have two more waiting for some decent weather to finish up the last 2 wheels. It's a time consuming process, and I'm already short with all the house paperwork, etc.

Still need to get another shift boot and one for the ebrake.

After too damn many more hours... I got the wheels done finally. Clear coat is drying right now. I think they actually looked better without clear since the bare brushed aluminum is a satin finish that gives it a little contrast, but I still like it. Just need to mount tires and get them on the car.

Hope you put a good amount of hardener in the paint so it won't chip easily.

[Asylum]

I'll give ya $100 for them!

[woody90gtz]

There is no hardener in the Summit system. It's 4:1 acrylic urethane & activator & there are 2 layers of clear. Thought about baking them in the paint oven at work though...

cant wait to see what they will look like on the car

do you already have tires for them and if not what are your plans for the tires

[woody90gtz]

Same Fuzion tires Barry is running. Tiffany had a set on her Sube and ruined two with a screwed up alignment. So I'm putting her two old ones on the back and the new ones for the front should be here Tues. That gives the paint a little time to cure before the tires are mounted which is good.

[woody90gtz]

Talked to a paint expert and he said it would be pointless to bake them since it is a catalyzed system. Tires will be here today, so I'm hoping to get them mounted tmo. I also got some upholstery work done on my other door panel, just need to reassemble.

[woody90gtz]

Got my Fuzions via UPS today and gave Tiff's old tires a good look before mounting and found two nails and a staple! They held air on her car fine and didnt give her any issues...but screw that. I also thought hers had good tread, but after looking at the new ones I was wrong, they are not even half tread. So I got an RA# and will be sending them back tmo.

Since I have to buy four I'm buying the ones I want and all the guys on Nasty swear by: Sumitomo HTRZ IIs. Should be here Thursday.

Also finished up my door panel:

[woody90gtz]

New shoes are on: Sumitomo HTR-Z II 225/45/17s. I need to source some new center caps because the old ones had flaking "chrome" plating. Whatever I end up with will get sprayed flat black with a gloss black center w/ red bowtie. I also have the black lug covers once I get everything buttoned down for good. Right now I just wanted to get it on the road because it's a beautiful day. It's supposed to be 80 today!

nice job man you and jon do some nice work to these cars along with couple others

[Wanako]

your nuts are showing...

[woody90gtz]

your nuts are showing...

Not any more...


Spent a little time on it today. Swapped my flat black door handles for gloss. I think I'm gonna swap all the rest of the window trim too. Played around with center caps and might have changed my plan. Might go with a body-colored cap with a red bowtie instead of black. Still thinking about it. Installed my Redline hood struts, washed it and shot a few pics.

I still think you need some custom LED markers for that bish. LOL
