Rear bumper had a couple of pretty good dents so I dropped it off at the plater this morning.

Got the brackets for the rear brake lines made up and welded today. Also got the housing stripped down ready to go to the powder coater.



Lots more dissasmebly only 42 days

Who did you decide on for the powder-coating?

probably Quality or the place you were telling me Stoked Out used. Trying to have everything ready by late Saturday. As of tonight the frame in now bare. Now its time to start taking apart sub assemblies. To save time everything but the motor is getting white or black zinc plated or powder coated. I'll clean up and regasket and detail the motor while everything is out getting done. Then if I still have time I'll buff out the original laquer to get it looking as best as it can untill I have the money to take it back apart and paint it.

Looks like a bunch of progress. Don't hesitate to give a shout if you need a hand w/something.

Almost 1/2 way there. Just about everything thats coming apart is now apart. I dropped off lots of stuff to the plater late Saturday. Going to do lots of parts in white and black zinc for an OEM look to everything even though its all custom.

I already told my boss I will be in late on Monday. I hope to have this stuff at the powder coaters when they open.

I picked up my slightly modified C6 Corvette calipers tonight after work. What do you think? I don't know if I am the first to do this but I have never seen it done.

JoeTouring.. I like it.. I notice a few of you guys are in DFW. I am about two hrs east. We have a company here that powdercoats frames for about 300 bucks.

I am definately one of the JoeTouring guys... Big dreams, little budget.

Joe Touring. I love it. OLDSMOBILE is a lot of letters on that caliper. Maybe just OLDS. Too late now though. Still looks good.
