Might be worth clear coating those pretty calipers. Cad plating alone doesn't last long especially if you plan on driving it regularly. Certain car wash concentrates and wheel cleaners will degrade cad plating.

Clear peels and discolors so... you're kinda stuck either way.

True. Your work is a thing of beauty. Just trying to prolong it!

BTW, I had intentions of just rebuilding/rejetting the carbs I bought from you but you made everything look too nice. Now I have to clean everything else up as well! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

(sorry) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

That should be a nice 914 setup. Try the Pinesol trick?? Looks like others here have had good results.

Sorry for the threadjack Mark.

I haven't cleaned them yet. Had to make sure they came apart first. Typical corrosion inside from sitting. One air corrector was munged and had to be CAREFULLY drilled out to the point of picking the brass threads out of the carburetor body threads. Jets and rebuilds on order. Should get to it next week.

Not tied together. I don't see any need if the other bracing on the car is done properly. I also am not finished with the rotisserie. I still need to add some hydraulic jacks on either end to raise and lower it, add some casters to move it around, and if I feel it need it I will add a tie in. Once the wheels are on I think I will need the tie in. Also going to remake the mounts. These were temporary to get the last job done and to get back on Marks car.

Would it look funny to delete the windshield washer jets? The pressure system was never functional in the past and I never plan to spray water at this car on purpose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Nope, he plans to have it shined down at the corner dry cleaners. I just hope they don't over starch it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Heavy duty paint remover, wire wheel, glass bead blasted and then sprayed with Gibbs to (hopefully) prevent oxidation.

Scott was right - removing powder coat is a bitch!
