2161 Makeover

[Mike]

Wheels will be some shade of bronze or pewter. Hoping to have complete before the SPF get together on the 22nd Jack. Things are looking good for this. I am planning on some aluminum skid plates on the nose although I have yet to scrape it and am pretty careful.

 

[Dave Hood]

Looks excellent, Mike.

 

[Mike]

Stripped the old powder coat and refinished them. Don't powder coat mating surfaces!

 

[Jack Houpe]

Looks great!

 

[Mike]

Are you still planning on coming through for a day or three later this month Jack? They have just resurfaced on of the best canyons on the front range so hopefully we can run up to Estes Park for lunch one of those days. The week is looking really busy in the office but the weekends are wide open just let me know.

 

[Jack Houpe]

Thats my plan, I do have some family that is ill and that could change my plans, I haven't gotten a room yet just for that reason. I haven't shared with Richard about our family dilemma but he was planning on flying out and driving to CA with me and my son.

 

[Geert-Jan]

Sweeeeeeeeet!

What color is that?

 

[Mike]

Its a pewter with some bronze tones.

I will say if you are going to powerboat wheels, make sure they know not to coat the mating surfaces and pin drive holes. They become a PITA to fit and get a good accurate seat.

 

[TrevS]

Mike, this is going to look brilliant. Your car was already one of the nicest on here but I think the new vintage look is going to be amazing.

 

[Mike]

Thanks Trevor we shall see soon

 

[Rob Klein]

I am looking forward to seeing this car in new trim, it has me rethinking my colors.

 

[Mike]

 

[Jack Houpe]

You make this look to easy

 

[Tom]

Looking good, Mike!

Mine's currently white, but not as purdy as yours......it's in the high-build primer stage....

 

[Larry L.]

Are 'mine eyes' deceiving me, or am I actually seeing a bit of grey in there?

'Reflection off the walls, mebbe?

 

[Mike]

I wish I had the talent to make paint work look easy but I don't. This is the fine work of Luftkraft Fabrication in Colorado Springs. Mark and Chris are amazingly talented guys. I'll stick to turning wrenches and re-doing the brake system

Hurry up Tom looking forward to another GT40 to run around with.
