Dude! Just wanted to say "thumbs up"! If you were working on a lawnmower it would be interesting.

What are you planning to paint the D-44 with? I know you are not at that point yet, but I figured you had a plan.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Been really busy over the last two weeks with work and school so I've had no shop time. I did manage to get two wheels repaired (had bent lips), and new tires mounted. First pic is the worst of the two wheels. Both are now as good as new. I cannot find any sign of it.
The tires are yoko s-drive 235/40/17 all 4. I'm attaching these since my photobucket bandwidth limit has exceeded for this month (resets on the 21st). |

This is the coolest, most original project that I've seen in a long time. It is mind blowing how well thought out and engineered your projects are. 100 points for taking the road less traveled. You are going to love those S-Drives. I just put a set on my Camaro and they are excellent.

I got a couple things done today. Painted the radiator brackets (I'll show them installed soon). I cut out the PS rear WW for the nano-tub. And, I had to see how those new road grippers looked on there. I still need to clean/polish the wheels... Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 03-20-2009 at 01:15 AM. |

Wow i can't believe your projects they are so, well done. Your tahoe is what pushed me over the edge in wanting a 67-72 in the first place(I always wanted one I went and bought one after seeing the tahoe), and now this.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
hey mike,
i found a way around the bandwidth exceed from Photobucket. open another account using a different email address like a yahoo or something. then you can double up the posts and not worry about exceeding your limit. i know your photo archive on Photobucket is HUGE so that might help splitting the difference in 2 places? if you look at some of the pics i posted they come from 2 different photobucket accounts. i think im gonna post my nova's build up too. that way i can test the limits of the bandwidth too ![]() -JV
