spudly13 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Pulled the head off, did valve seals, head gasket, and lapped the valves. Putting it all back together getting rid of all the unnecessary BS. Built new brackets for this strut bar i got for free And a picture of the booth my car will be in....... someday.

Tristin Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 also do you know if that sixty nine dime ever got sold up there was looking into buy but never got the kid to come thru. He decided to keep it. Nice work as always Casey. Can't wait to see more updates. Did I miss the plans for color? Quote Link to comment
crewy Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hey thanks Tristan for the heads up. One min he wants a bike another wants to keep. Just want to get mine from my kid.hes just having a hard time with the timing and it's hard to tell him which way to go over the phone. Keep the pics going on the build. Very informative especially when I get mine back Quote Link to comment
spudly13 Posted July 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 He decided to keep it. Nice work as always Casey. Can't wait to see more updates. Did I miss the plans for color? I'm between those two colors, problem is I don't have a code for the brown and would want a little modern sparkle in the blue... 1 Quote Link to comment

crewy Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 What's the color code for the bamboo tan. 529 I think. The light tan and blue are the best 2 colors out there Quote Link to comment
housew Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm between those two colors, problem is I don't have a code for the brown and would want a little modern sparkle in the blue... looks fairly close to mine i don't need it to be an original color, i just need it to be close enough to what it already is that i won't be bothered to do the door jams and whatnot Quote Link to comment
crewy Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 It would be cool to be able to spray a faded color on your car and not a primer Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 I've seen the above blue car in person. It's more if a sky blue than a normal blue. The yellow shop lights throw off the picture quite a bit. Quote Link to comment
crewy Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Looks like it needs to sit in Arizona for a few yrs to get that nice fade to it Quote Link to comment
VintageRice Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 Casey check out the brand new jeeps, my inlaws just got one and its brown like that beemer and sparkles almost burnt orange in the sun. Puuuuurty Quote Link to comment

Puuuuurty That does look pretty nice, I'm dropping the car off today, gunna talk with the painter and come up with some solid ideas Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 I'd go with the blue, a 510 in a more modern metallic color just doesn't look quite right, its a 510 not an e30. 2 Quote Link to comment

maltese Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 "Give me a week", in body man talk, means two to three weeks minimum. This thing is going to be so sweet! Good job man. Quote Link to comment
