Paint, Rims, Parts ...
Thursday, February 21, 2008 7:59 PM
First off I figured out what color paint i will be using. Its custom mixed but is basicly identical to Night Hawk Black aka Black with blue pearl.

Here are the best shots i could get of the pearl in the paint. Its hard to tell in pictures but inperson you can see it better.





Now the Rims are Brians (speedracerZ's) rims but with a make-over. They have been sandblasted and repowder coated to a gunmetal bronze.


Curtis (skunk) was nice enough to let me loan his car while i was down there so a mounted shot over the NWF front brake upgrade...



I need your guys opinion on what to do. One of the tires are worn from by the looks of a under inflated tire. I would like to know when others are using for midline tires for street. I am S/Cing the car in summer and building the piss out of the engine so i would like something kind of cost efficent that is desent with grip.



While I was in IL at curtis house we were having fun with a 03 fuel rail for Stefen ( slicko2) and well i came home and desided to go on a spending spree lol








There is only one fitting through out those there that are not Black. Even the Hose is Black ( Pro-Flow 350 which is Nylon Fibers vs. SS wire which is lighter and can actually hold more PSI as advertised) I just need a few things so i can actually make up the hoses and install they are: Wide band, 42 + pound injectors, and an FMU.

On a side note i have had Eco blocks in an out from my house and in the mix i was going to keep two of them as potential users for my engine build. I then found out one was better then the other and the other got scrapped. With out me knowing my dad had removed the main girdles from the blocks and moved them to a different place.... So today i took a set of Curtis old Main bolts put my forged Eagle crank in the set of GM main bearings and prayed the crank would move after torque'n the bolts down. And it did so some how i was lucky enough to be able to keep the right main girdle for the correct block.

Looking good, I like the color on the wheels it's different. Just needs some glossy clear on there to make em stand out a lil better. The paint color should look crazy when the light hits it.

I love agood shaved kitty!!


HAHA

Anyways.......

The rims look sweet, Id look into some Federal tires, the upper end ones are decent but dont come with a huge price tag. That or go with Falkens, the Ziex's, they are relatively inexpensive and have good street grip.

That thing is going to look good man. As for tires I tried a lot of different ones, I was the happiest with my Nitto Neo Gen's.
