Real nice trade, keep the saleens.

 

[chris91]

Yeah but my Saleens are only 18x9's all the way around and the tires are about done for. This guy has the 17x9 and 17x10.5's with almost new tires and wants to trade me straight up. Im thinking with the blower the 10.5's would help out some too. Plus Im a sucker for deep dish wheels.

Sorry to threadjack...

Question:

Can you tell me your process of cleaning the motor? It looks pristine!

 

[chris91]

Everything I didnt paint I just cleaned with degreaser and a small plastic detailing brush. I just sprayed the area I was working on with the degreaser and started scrubbing. Then I would spray it down with water. After it dries I usually spray some Armor All on a rag and wipe everything down.

Bitchin'.

I suggest a light bar, they look soooooooooooooooooo good on convertibles.

 

[chris91]

I have a white styling bar for it but it doesnt have the brake light. Im not sure if Im going to install it or not though.

White Styling Bar?! Never seen one.

Looks good btw I like it, wheels are nice on there.

 

[chris91]

I bought the seats from a friend of mine. You can find them online still. Just look for Dynamic Auto Designs.

Yep its white. Ive found them in White, Tan, and Black. I wouldve bought a black one but this White one came with the car.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!! I just got finished installing my gauges too. I bought Autometer Phantom Water Temp, Oil Pressure and Boost.

that looks good man. how did you paint the alternator?

 

[chris91]

I took small pieces of tape and stuffed in each hole in the casing. Then I just scuffed it up, wiped it down with laquer thinner and painted it.

 

[BLCKSTNG96]

nice.i dont like verts but looks good.keep the wheels.if you want traction get a set of slicks lol.10.5 street tires wont help.i actually kinda like the red interior too.its a slushomatic tho?

 

[chris91]

Yeah street tires wont help anything but Drag Radials will. Its not your normal automatic either.
