congrats on the new go fast. Looks like fun.

Strodder · 10-04-2013, 10:41 AM

Thanks Dave, Drive one if you can. You'll see what I mean.

Mean while the 57 Sedan got painted John Deer Yellow.

Now the fun part.

Ta2Don · 10-04-2013, 10:49 AM

57 is looking Sweet!

I haven't driven the new Mini Coopers, but back in the mid 80's I was stationed on a little island off the coast of Portugal and drove a local's Mini a bunch... it was alot of fun, but the old wore out 4cyl probably was lucky to put out 50hp...

Fun nonetheless!!!

Have fun!!!

66-PMD-GMC · 10-04-2013, 11:17 AM

Wish I could fit in one of those... but I am the opposite of mini.

Now if they made a Maxi Cooper, my fat butt might fit in one of those.....

Nice car

**TJ's Chevy** · 10-04-2013, 11:23 PM

I agree, but the wheels on the truck are mine, and the 57 belongs to a customer. Besides the the bolt patterns are different.

mr andrerson · 10-10-2013, 01:24 AM

Looking good strodder! Keep it up!

Strodder · 10-20-2013, 09:04 PM

Got to do some work on the left side. The hardest thing is to do exactly the same as the right side.

So far it's looking the same.

Strodder · 10-20-2013, 09:07 PM

Brought the MINI in the Shop to paint the Calipers Red, and the Rotor Hubs black. Big improvement from the Silver and Grey hubs.

Next week I'll be busy as the 57 will be back from final paint. Can't wait to see that one finished.

likaroc13 · 10-20-2013, 09:31 PM

Bed is lookin' good Dennis! Do you have a before pic of the MINI calipers & rotor hub?

bubba327 · 10-20-2013, 11:03 PM

Thanks Phillip. I'm trying to do something nobody has seen before.
I knew I should have taken pictures of the before & after with the wheels off. This is the best I can do.

Somebody has to do it.

Strodder · 12-22-2013, 11:17 PM

Cleaned up the 57 so I can deliver it. It was covered with overspray, and looked like crap. Looks like I just finished it again. Next is the engine compartment. The 454 will look great again too.

likaroc13 · 12-22-2013, 11:22 PM

Looks great. What are you using to clean?

Strodder · 12-22-2013, 11:25 PM

I pressure washed it up on the rack, and wiped it down. Then masked everything off and repainted the parts that had overspray. Which was a lot. Like the rear springs, parts of the frame, and even the rear end.

McMurphy · 12-23-2013, 01:29 PM

The taillights on your truck are really coming in nice!
Are you going to be adding side markers, and if so, what kind?
