72wagun Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Wow Mike! What a difference. Now let's see it with the grill and headlights. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Thanks guys. I got the front done today. It may sit like this for just a bit. For the last two weeks, it's been nothing but house work/cleaning up, car cleanup...I think I might just relax tomorrow! :) Okay.....here's the before again..... And most of a days work. I think I'll post the rest of the pics in the strut mod thread :) Got the front exactly where I want it :) I'll drop the back 2" at a later date :) Quote Link to comment

RatRod25 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Looks way better lowered!! Did you rattle can it, or spray it? Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 did you use the right tip on the gun this time ?:fu: Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Thanks guys......except for you Mike! :fu: :) It's rattle canned. SEM Trim Black. It lays out so nice, it's hard to tell it's a can. The roof is the most obvious area. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted June 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 The strut mods to lower it are in this thread..... http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?t=6895 You'll need to go to the last page or so. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Temporary look for now...more pics a bit later...but I sent these from the cell straight to photobucket :) Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 I'm diggin the front wheels. I have a set of steelies I'm thinkin about putting them on my goon. Now I think you just talked me into it. :D I will run the trim rings with some baby moon caps. I have some 9.5" dia 6061 that I'll make them out of. I can't buy em so I'll make em. Mike you should make some bullets for center caps. :cool: Quote Link to comment

Mike you should make some bullets for center caps. :cool: Thanks! I've been wanting to put these on for a couple of years now! I've had them for 4-5 years! I bought the tires last fall.....so this has been a long time coming! :) I'll look forward to pics in the machine work thread! :) I actually have some extra center caps already. I'd like to put them on, just haven't figured out the mounting yet. .....gears are grinding in the noggin', almost have it figured out :) No joke! I thought you sprayed it! Good work man:thumbsup: I used the gun on Paula's 521 with the Trim Black and it was so bad, I finished with the rattle cans and that's why I went with cans for this one! I found out later that I had the gun set up backwards...just didn't feel like messing with the mess this time. right on looking good love the steelies:blink: Thanks. Good to see you on the forum again. sorry mike couldn't resist Ya you could have!!! You just didn't...................just like I can resist kicking your butt......I just won't!!!! :) lol!!!

mklotz70 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Sorry about the exposure.....camera doesn't shoot so well without the flash :( Anyway....here's a few more. I REALLY NEED TO GET THE REAR END LOWERED!!!! Quote Link to comment
benzo Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 At first i was not liking the car or the matte black rat rod look as it seemed to be played out a lot lately but when i look at your car more I like it more. I liked it more with the pics of the steelies as opposed to the Z wheels. seems to add more character or reminds of some mooneyes old school stuff which is rad. I would like the car more with bumpers on and the front fender signals on. got to bring the back down but I bet you had that planned already Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 It'll happen....sooner or later :) I need to get a couple other things done before I play more, but I found out that I have saturday off......so I may play then :) I started to do the rear blocks.....they were really uneven....I had to mill .050" off them to get them evened up! I'll add more about that as I do it. Need to sleep now. I know what you mean about the black/red being "played out" but.......I still wanted to do it. I seriously considered orange or tan, but I had a bunch of red already!! :) I almost did lime green.....but I didn't want to take away from the Mend project. Quote Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 are those the steelies i have ben trying to get from you for ever ? Quote Link to comment

DISLEXICDIME Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 sweet, but i still say they would look better on my car :P lol Quote Link to comment
