Re: Flip Omega

sweet wheels i like them more than the pontiac rallys on my ventura. they are 14" and looked worse than yours b 4 blasting and painting they cleaned up nicely see my pic on previous post. I bought 5 of these same 15" wheels had them blasted and primed. but my plans are to have two of them back halved to make 10" rears and pc these instead of paint then i can mini tub the car get some traction and keep the oe look. all my projects have been stalled due no $. but glad to see you are still going on this project it will be a nice car did you get a shift kit 4 the trans or just a standard rebuild? i guess the big bumper will have to do 4 now huh.I was hoping that you were working on it to give me an idea on what to do with mine

Agree'd! Specialty wheel in Portland Or.(but I think there moving?) has some nice options. Not sure I like the chrome rim?

I hear you on the money thing. This project won't get too much further till I can sell off a few more trinkets from my shop. Mrs. Nonhog just started working again. I did have a kit in the trans and HD clutches and a slightly higher stall.
Mini tub would be cool, just knowing myself it would make this too big a project and just dont want to wait that long.
The bumper won't be too far off cutting and welding wont cost too much.
I still have wire for the mig.

Re: Flip Omega

Can't believe how hard it is to find the proper vac. mod. hose that has 2 different sizes. I picked up a plastic adaptor at Oreilly's and some JB weld just in case. Put on 2 of the rally's just to see. Didn't even wash them first.
Whats the point they need painted something fierce.
Too nice of a day to get much else done beside the fuel line at the pump is seeping. I think I need a new line the one on there does not go in smoothly and I think the flare is not seating? I'll figure it out.
Maybe a vid tomorrow.
