Jon,
I think those would look great with the ribs sanded and polished. Will it be easy to go back if you sand/polish? Are you going to be able to pull the fenders out enough? Be careful as the door gaps and bumper gaps can be affected. Did you ever look closely at Eric Fry's silver car? He pulled his fenders a lot and it changed the bumper and door gaps. I remember Dave at Triad pointing it out to me when I asked him about pulling the rear fenders. I can only get 195's under mine without pulling the fenders with the Enkei's I have. And the 195's are close!
Tom

Yeah, this car has much more room back there than Eric's car did. I don't think it is going to change anything too much. We shall see

Crap i missed another one. Stupid computer virus! took 2 days to get it out.

Going to have to make the next one. The Buzzin was about 3 minute from my house!!

jcl

Cool, that means you live about 3 minutes from my house

I'm going to black the centers on my Mahles and was planning leaving the spokes natural. I like that look with the spokes standing out. I think Kelty's are that way.

You know what would be cool....if the spokes could be polished shiny like the rims. That would be totally unique. But that part of the wheel wouldn't polish like the aluminum on your rims, so I'm not sure how you would pull it off. (Maybe get them smooth enough with sanding and primer to use chrome paint.)

Unique and cool wheels, kudos.

I think it would look badass to paint the ribs to approximate the body color of the car. Might even consider painting the studs (or just the ends) that same color. What color are your bumpers?

I usually like the spokes to match the rim, but I'm liking your idea too Marc. Part of the wheel matching body color is cool.

Black

The combination would probably work well then.

Missed another one. . .

One of these times I'll see the thread in time to make plans. . .

merry christmas and happy holidays

You know I was thinking...We could always have one down here with the all the southern folk. And Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Happy Holidays to all the PNW Teeners and thier Family

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Anyone up for doing anything this week? I have the whole week off and plan on doing so wrenching on the 914

Anyone up for hanging out in my garage tonight? I was thinking of pulling out the front suspension tonight.

Sorry, I didn't see this until just now, or I'd probably have been there...
What about the rest of the week? Aside from little errands, I'm pretty free...
Chris

Holidays....too busy right now. I wanna catch up with the locals.

Hey I need some help.
Ive got to lift an assembled motor down off my build table.
Ill supply a beer or two & a semi warm but dry garage to shoot the sh*t?

Just let me know when you get one more as I am available to help most any time Plus, then I can press the bushings off the A-arms.

I'm game Rich, when?

I have Friday off, might give you a ring and swing by.

I can head over tonight. Tomorrow and Friday I am going to be busy. Chris, you free tonight? Rich?

Sure man, what time...

I need to be home by 8ish so 6 or 7 works for me.

Does that work Rich?

Looks like 6:30.

Works for me, have we heard back from Rich?

Yes, I have. Have you ever been to his place? If you want to follow me over we can meet at the Eastmont Park and ride or somewhere in between.

206-954-3006

Yup, been there, see y'all at 630

HI PNW guys....

I'm looking for a decent front valance. Mine is so-so, but since car is getting painted I would love to find one that is in decent shape.

Anyone got one to sell?

Thanks,
Mark

We need a south King County or North Pierce County meet for us southenders...my car should be back end of January. would love to have a get together for a viewing and some BS session. Yes/No?

Was fun last night at Rich's with Chris and Jon.

On another note, I need a new windshield. Mine is plain worn out and it's now leaking.

Looking for a cost effective way to replace it. Any suggestions?

Paul

That would be awesome!

MS glass is the best place I have found for our windows.

I could look in the rafters of the garage, I know one is up there for a 74 but
its nice but not perfect. Will look this weekend

I replaced mine just before WCR'11 and my supplier had them for about $250 if memory serves me. Another $30-40 for a couple tubes of the black goo and I was done. I installed mine myself (but truthfully, I think I got REAL lucky that it fell into the exact right spot on the first stab ) It should be a two-man job to take luck out. Seriously though, it's NOT as hard as folks will lead you to believe. It could be done on a teener-tuesday, though you better host as it would not be good to drive it until the sealant completely cures.

If you need new trim clips, get those first and have them on hand. I think it takes around 19-20 @ around $2.50 each from Pelican. A door panel tool and patients will ensure that the chrome is not damaged. That is truly the tricky part.

Ok, got the front hood hinges on, the rear hinges fitted and the j-west kit in and made molds for my front running/turn signals. Maybe throw some resin at them tomorrow.
Good day.

Got a new windshield at MS Glass off Greenwood ave. $300 installed. The old windshield literally feel out after he took out the trim. It's nice to see clearly out the front now.

Thanks for the help guys!!

That's where I got mine a few years ago.

Another week has gone by.... this year is off to a flying start.

Are you suggesting a Teener Tuesday Snow Shoe Party?

It is going by way too fast. I need to get some stuff in paint here quick if I want to drive my car this year. I just got permission to use one of my friends shops to shoot

playing around with glass...
