Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Yes, I used 2-part 'kitty hair' to fill, after removing paint and heavy scuffing for some 'tooth'. Added a layer of gold body filler to smooth, followed by filler primer and finishing primer. Was going to use Lab Metal, but didn't wanna deal with the mess. Next step is to make them look more like sand cast wheels- I'm hoping the method I have in mind will produce the effect I'm after...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
would sand blasting with a real heavy grain sand, give you the cast look ?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Prob would, but it might also remove the 'repair' work too. It might be tough to get the same texture evenly....

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thought about having them blasted, and all-metal was one of the ideas. I'm gonna try to spray the texture on- we'll see how it goes...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I've done it (texture) on stuff & liked the results. Wheels obviously are a different ballgame....

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Was hoping removing the emblem was part of the plans Looks so much better....I really don't get why they think that was a smart business move. Maybe on the center cap but not in the spokes....probably cut their sales in 1/2 or more for people not willing to do what you are....
And on chrome....I bet it cut their sales by 1/4 Looking forward to seeing them done with the texture and those flat caps...should be a very cool look!!!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Had some free time today, but it was too cold to paint wheels, so I set to work installing bigblock73's corner mounted 6x9 brackets. High quality, excellent fitting pieces that sound WAY better than my old boxes that were stuck in the corner. Two thumbs way up!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
As mentioned bigblock73 (Jeff) is the man to contact for your very own set. He originally designed them for his own project and had a demand for more. Now he has ventured out and is making them for you 67-72 guys. Great person to deal with too.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Much mo' betta! Actually can hear the 6x9s now. I did line the cavity with heat/sound deadener and the inside of the panel with 'dynamat', to kill any tinny-ness. I'm quite satisfied with the sound quality.
Thanks! I think they turned out nice for the effort involved. Check with member bigblock73- he will do another run if he has enough interest. Quote:
Thanks!
