Did your mom and dad give you an advance on your allowance?

I'm going to ask for the same from mine after seeing all of this.

DAVE!! its looking awesome brother, cant wait to get this back on the track

What's that look like? Post an example. I picked the powdercoat for these arms and it is happening any day now.

McQueen should have been on the ballot yesterday! :mad:

Absolutely. I am hoping to move out of my parents' basement by 2014 when this POS will be running.

Hey he's pretty good on road courses I hear. Or he used to be anyway.

Thanks bro.

Rod! I will see you Saturday and want a ride or two with you! :thumbsup:

over some black anodized 6061 :D

The nickel is very nice........maybe too nice.

You can brush it after the fact also giving it a brushed look and not hurt the corrosion factor.

That was my thought. This ain't pro blinging over here obviously. :D

It's a cool finish. I just think the tone of the color is lighter than I want. I am doing with a dark grey/graphite powdercoat.

Thanks Matt. You doing it on your stuff?

yes all my rear links will be nickle'd along with my control arms.

its nice because if the material cracks so does the nickle unlike paint and powdercoat. plus it doesnt add any weight, well maybe a couple grams the plating is roughly .002" thick.

All of these pics are the same pieces, just in different light. I thought Jake was messin with me when he sent the pics.

:lol:

Things look like they are going well Dave.

When I looked into nickel plating it was god awful expensive. In fact, I couldn't even really get the guy to give me a price. I think it was Advanced Plating somehwere in the midwest ? AT first the guy said he didn't even do nickel plating and then I mentioned several high end cars that said they had work there and he admitted they will do it for but spent the rest of the call talking me out of it. That was before I even told him what and how much I wanted nickel plated, so he didn't know I was a low roller LOL.

How/where/price are you getting things nickel plated ? Don't mean to hijack Flash just curious.

Im getting ichy just looking at those. lol. Can't wait to see these long arms of the law on the 68.

:thumbsup:

Damn those look good!

Looks great!:thumbsup:

Those should be ample for your trips to Toys R US and the grocery store.

Looks good man!

How many bags of diapers will this jalopy hold?:woot:

I do my Nickle at work.

we charge around 100 bucks min order, $200 would probly do a set of upper. lower control arms. if you were a walk in.

:lol: :lol::lol:

The control arms look great! I don't know if you posted this or not, how much longer are these from stock?

Thanks,
Jon

Damn Dave!, just read all of your thread..well.... most of it, haha...Through all the ups and downs i'm glad you've stuck with it! car is coming along great!

-Sean

ps. Soundgarden rules.

Why, cuz it's wide? You trying to say something? Do I look fat in these jeans? :_paranoid :lol:

Well done. I know you'll always come thru. :cheers:

No worries Preston. I was seriously considering the nickel but I was committed and powdercoating in progress.

Long arms of the law. Love it. :cheers:

Hey it is still a street car after all. :D

More than the # of bags of Depends going in the back of your Nomad. :rofl:

Thanks Jon... they are 1" longer per side.

Thanks Sean.. and again, welcome to the dark side.... and Soundgarden DOES rule... someone around here gets it. Nice to see. :D

:lol: :thumbsup: Nice dig on Daddy Warbucks.

OUCH!

:lol:

Aren't you thinking of selling the Nomad? You should probably keep it. I bet it is the easiest to get in and out of. :lol:

Yeah -- I can fit the wheelchair in the back right?
