Just finished the turn buckets. This is Eastwood's aluminum reflective paint.

Looks good to me.

Looks great Dave! Got any left?

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Jun 19 2003, 08:21 PM

I am sending them to kellzey, first. Hes gonna do the Euro conversion on them, but with a piece of aluminum. Then one set is going on the car, and I think I will sell the others. Not too sure, tho.

I'd sell both sets to pay for these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2419434021&category=33717&rd=1

Mine, mine, mine!

Craig Laughlin and I bid for it...

Posted by: Bleyseng Jun 20 2003, 12:03 PM

I see you sniped him, haha. Nice buy!

He didn't snipe Craig, it looks like Craig tried to sneak in with 5 seconds and snipe Karl, but Karl's bid was high enough to win.

How much WAS your bid for Karl?

Posted by: Qarl Jun 20 2003, 12:15 PM

I think Craig bid $300.00. My max bid was $301.01. I had a gut feeling someone was going to put in high bid, and I upped mine at the last minute.

Sir George probably has a few more. I'm sure Craig could convince him to sell him another set for that price.

Posted by: VegasRacer Jun 20 2003, 12:31 PM

Karls max bid WAS $301.01

If he had bid more, the price would have gone to the next higher bid increment ($305).
Karl paid $1 more than he had to. Or Craig would have won if he had bid $1.02 more.
A week to bid and you guys want to snipe in the last ten seconds.
That's the only way to play the eBay game.

Hey - I just got sniped on my post.

Posted by: VegasRacer Jun 20 2003, 12:39 PM

SNIPE

If this works - I just figured out how to use a new program I got to change a .bmp to a .jpg

Good buy Karl. Those look really sweet. I will wait to see if another set comes out of the warehouse.

Hey Craig:

I could have bet money you were going to show up on that auction.

George may have another set... I'm sure you could convince him to sell you another pair.

Made up for a rather crappy day.

Take care.

Posted by: boxstr Jun 20 2003, 10:32 PM

Excellent bid, didn't think it would get that high. We will see what comes out of the warehouse.
John thanks very much for the goodies from Pomona, great stuff. I have a plate heading your way when you send me your mailing address.
Thanks

Craig - Can't ya just put a stamp on it and ask the post office to send it to VegasRacer @goflyakite?

I know your eBay ID. Do you know mine?
It doesn't really matter.
You'll never know if I'm gonna bid till the last few seconds anyway.

Hey Dave - sorry about hijacking your thread.

Here's one more chance for me to post a converted .bmp image.
At least there is a turn signal in the photo.

Korijo...

Have you compared your restored units with the "old ones", as far as brightness, etc, goes?

I think that would make an interesting picture.

Here ya go...

Looks much brighter and cleaner, IMO

I am betting that they will be brighter.

I think the "whiter" silver color of the aluminum paint that Korijo used will reflect/dispersse light better than the mirror-like coating of the original bucket.

Regards,

Karl

Another pair online...

Thanks Karl.

I checked ahwile back with Mittlemotor for a set of Euro's and the price to the US was close to 400.00. DH

Posted by: SirAndy Jun 24 2003, 10:33 PM

dave-meister,
i don't know anything about this paint but it looks really good!


where can i get it? what's it called? does it need a clear-coat?
Andy

Posted by: Dave Cawdrey Jun 25 2003, 12:58 AM

Sir-meister hehehe...

Its from http://www.eastwoodcompany.com/.

No clear, as it will dull the finish. Its kinda like "chrome in a can", but a "whiter/brighter" polished aluminum. Epoxy/laquer primer first.

I also got these cool gizmos from there...

Posted by: tod914 Jun 25 2003, 04:41 AM

what makes them so much more reflective than the US models? the turn signals lool like glass.

Posted by: seanery Jun 25 2003, 07:12 AM

Dave,
