She was a redhead though...and we all know they aren't right in the head, right?

maybe she wanted to elude to the fact she thought she was hot?

How does that make her different from any other woman ?

No, she was definitely hot - maybe I'll post a pic in here...

Seriously - redheads are screwed up big time...why do think the term "pyschotic redhead" was coined?

And that one...she was a doosy!!! Still messed up...shame too...

[67blackcherry]

Mmmmmm.....painted master cylinder....



Needless to say, I failed to paint them when I did the disc conversion a few years ago...

Before...



After...



I painted the center section flat black. It's just that small attention to detail that makes a huge difference...I think...

[67blackcherry]

Check this out - I got all these parts blasted AND powdercoated for $200.00!!!



They look great - sorry but I didn't want to remove the shrink wrap for a photo op!

The Eastwood Chassis paint arrives in the next day or so, then we can start painting. Frame first, then the firewall. The AC delete kit is coming along, but it's a bit of a pain.

Ex before the wife was full blooded Italian, b'itch broke a few remotes and cordless phones. Final straw is when she threatened to call the cops on me for not talking to her, in my own home !
Beat that for a psycho -

Parts look good, btw -

Tried that once before...no thanks! Too many questions, statements, "prove it" etc etc...

Beat that for a psycho - Don't think I can. How long were you two together? My redhead...her problem was "chemically induced". Told me once "I have a problem with cocaine, NOT speed!"
Yeah pumpkin, that makes sense!

Parts look good, btw -

Thanks - the parts do look great, Don't they? I was only going to have them blasted then they told me $80 more to powdercoat! One day turnaround...awesome!

Powdercoating is the way to go, used to be a PY member Zippy in here tht did that, hell I might need to get in touch with him about doing my Dodge when I drop the elephant motor in

As far as the pics, WTF ? They were obviously the real deal -

I know that - you know that - everybody else knew that - but we're talking about one specific brain dead individual, aren't we? That just couldn't let it go...

Definitely have your stuff powdercoated. I'm bummed I didn't have the stuff on the LeMans powdercoated - oh well.

[67blackcherry]

First time using Eastwood Ultra/Extreme Chassis whatever...it seemed awfully thin but looks wet...quite glossy...and seems ultra hard. Should hold up quite well.

[67blackcherry]

Mmmmmmm......painted suspension parts......



Let's see...did the long end go towards the wheel, or was it the other way around???

[67blackcherry]

Firewall - painted this with SEM paint...great stuff, used it for the LeMans was well. I can't say enough good things about that paint. Great sheen, comes out real smooth, almost impossible to make it run...



AC Delete kit - I'll actually be able to reach those back spark plugs now!



painted the cowl

[67blackcherry]

here's another shot




and the cowl tag - wish I had cleaned off the tag on the LeMans prior to painting, but it's a learning process I guess!



The engine is coming along, waiting on a new timing chain and a few odds and ends. Should be up and running soon!!!

You're welcome!
They have a quick turnaround...they blasted that stuff in a day, and powdercoated within a day as well. Stuff looks great, just as good as any other stuff I've had coated.

They're located in back lot of Crown Fence. When you get there, drive through the HUGE doorway on the right of the building, then drive all the way to the back.

You have an lor car in CA? Are Van Nuys cars so rare that they don't even exist in CA? Do you know where in the US your car was sold? My los car, a 9, was sold in Terrell, TX on 12/26/68--musta been an x-mas present.

Firebird was built in Lordstown. My LeMans was a Fremont car, stayed in So Cal its entire life. I'm not sure where the Firebird was sold, I would have to look at my PHS docs. Do you want me to post that info?

When did the Van Nuys plant go on-line? Wasn't until the mid 70's right?

And the engine is coming along...
