Looks so awesome Greg! Serious question here - does that chrome stay on the springs after they get compressed a few dozen times?

GregWeld 04-17-2011 09:57 PM

Good question Ron... I'll let you know about June.

The car will get a lot of miles between May and the middle of June... so we'll see how well that holds up.

Actually -- if truth be known -- I'm a "greaser" not a "waxer".... I really don't give a crap about dirt on my stuff.... as long as it runs well and performs well... So the shiny fancy chrome and polish is a real waste on me... but it's hard to build something without it.

I actually just "wash" my hot rods.... my sister and brother in laws blown '69 Camaro has never seen water.... He polishes my wheels at shows.... because he's embarrassed to park next to me with brake dust and bugs smashed all over my stuff.


EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Stopped at SAR today so here's a couple of pics (cell phone versions) I took just for my own "documentation" purposes.... but will share them just 'cause that's what we should do... right?


The exhaust tip with the cast medallion -- they'll (the medallions) go to chrome shortly...

Here's the details it takes to 're-do' (is that considered a tweak or a mod?) the windshield post.... a hand formed piece (grey) from foam.... which is then scanned and made in one of those plastic forming machines... which is then cast in silicone bronze... which will get chromed shortly...

Here's the "cap" detail for the top of the windshield corner...

And a shot of the wheels (again)...

Looks great! Let me know when you do a PIR night with it! Otherwise I hope to see it in July! :cheers:

This attention to detail amazes me. Very nice Greg. The wheels look great.
