I think it is gong to look very nice. You know I do not want it to be obvious, and I think the direction you are headed is perfect. I can't wait to see it with a little primer on it and mounted on the car.

Then we have to think about some kind of screening or grill, possibly like the fog light grills to make it blend and protect the oil cooler from rocks and debris.

So I am taking a ride to drop my deep sixes off at Harvey Weidman's this morning to have them restored. I hope they are all nice and true with no issues so he has good wheels to begin with.

I'm using the grill from an engine lid. But my bumpers and lower valence will be satin black.

This is probably what we will end up with on Michaels car as well. We talked about a lot of ideas for venting, cooling etc, and want to keep things looking as O.E. ( although modified ) as possible, so using the engine lid grill is a natural tie in. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

I dropped the wheels off with Harvey today. Got a tour of the shop and he explained the entire restoration process. I am having all 5 wheels widened 1" so I can fit a little bit wider tire on them to keep the rear hooking up a little bit better with the 3.2. I want all 5 to match. I also gave him 4 new center caps along with my 4 original center caps so I can have a couple spares and they will match the wheels as closely as possible.

Harvey is a terrific guy who enjoys what he does and it certainly shows in his finished product. I can't wait to see these wheels when they are finished.

I blasted the oil tank and checked it over, cleaned up a previous repair, then sent it out to Pacific oil cooler for a thorough cleaning, pressure testing and refinish

Looks nice. Glad to see it is done. - will you be sealing it up so nothing gets inside of it in the interim?

a heavier blasting or harsher media would. I've got a fine glass bead in the cabinet so all it would do without more time was remove any that was already loosening.

already done

I knew that but wanted to remind everyone not to let these sit unsealed. Thanks for the terrific work Scotty. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

3.5 struts arrived and I was feeling a bit destructive soooooo. the broken nuts seem to be a regular issue I run across. Both of the new struts were broken, as was one of his originals. I have a box full of them so I'll grab one more good one, and repair these later

Fab work on the valance is done save for some clean up. some dents, warpage from welding, and I want to spend a little more time on some of the lines to sharpen them up.

No worries Jeff - all that will be gone. Scotty will strip that bumper and then it gets re-chromed to look like new - No holes of course.

That oil cooler opening looks very sweet Scotty.

I am so looking forward to seeing some of the parts for my car plated, powder coated and ready to be installed.

Thanks for the update pictures.
