Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
So I was helping a customer order some accessories last week for a car he just bought, we got to talking about cars and he was telling me about all the cars he has had in the past. I had told him about how i am building my 71 and we talked a bit about it nothing too much just kinda in passing. So he shows back up this past Saturday and hands me a zip-lock bag full of stickers and vinyls of bow ties and some other stuff, including the one pictured below. It is a great looking sticker but don't really go with my truck. I would hate for this to go to waste, would anybody want this? Not selling it, that would not be right, but if someone needs it it is yours!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
Thanks! I hope to have the trailing arms on tonight. I ordered new coil spring clamps from LMC as well, so when those get here I can mount up the springs as well!

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
What's the plate on top of the driveshaft opening? Is the cross member flipped and that's for the carrier bearing? I ask because I don't have one on mine.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
well, I found a powder coater willing to do the two-tone power coating in my wheels. Although the design is going to have to change up a little bit in order to make it look right. He is also offering to coat my wilwood calipers in blue at the same time. Now admittedly, I had considered powder coating the calipers before but then I loose the wilwood logo too. "Not so!" he says. He tells me he can have a "high temp" vinyl made and then cleared into the caliper. So that go me to thinking, what if instead on the wilwood logo I have him make a C/10 logo on there? Kinda have it stretched across the front of the caliper. I think this could be really cool looking and extremely unique. Thoughts?

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
That might be pretty cool. Like a custom touch. Isn't the lettering on the caliper indented into the surface though?

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
I thought it was at first but it is actually just under the clear.

Re: 71' (gonna be) a one of a kind custom
well, this sucks! I have been saving up for more goodies when my 30 year old a/c unit in my 28 year old house decides to quit on me. Seriously though, how does that happen? The unit is 2 years older than the freakin house!??? Just my luck
 Hopefully I will be back at it soon!
