Wout van Aken Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 HI, What kind of 5 bolt wheel hubs do you use on your car at the front- and rear and which brake drums at the rear ? Thanks, Wout van Aken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forchunet Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Wow this build is awesome! Your car seemed to have been in similar shape as mine when you first started... Your thread has given me a lot of inspiration! What have you done so far as rust. Did you weld in new panels or are you using mainly bondo/fiberglass as apparent in your pics? Sorry I can't answer your emissions question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau M Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I dig the Cragars. They make it look like a giant Hot Wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Wout van Aken. for the front I got hubs off a 84 300zx turbo. In the rear all I did was that the stub axle and brake drums to a machine shop and had them redrill the pattern to 5/4.5.

Thank for the comment man...when you spend so much time on something you like to hear stuff like that. I had alot of surface rust issues on the car and for that all i did was bead blast it and through some osfo on it. The rear drivers side fender was ate up pretty bad so i had to cut it away and get a replacement panel for it. Yeah, i built the taillight panel up with fiberglass.

forchunet Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Holy crap that looks really good man! I've never seen anybody weld the headlight buckets onto the frame. I can't wait to see how the finished product looks. Nice job on the quarters. Is that metal to metal filler that you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure what you are asking on the quarter panel... but what i did was crimp the edge of the existing panel and laid the replacement panel inside the crimp and tacked her down. After that it i just use plan ole' body filler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift00 Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) what do you guys think about Lights to aluminate the license plate. I believe its state law that I have to have them on there, but not really sure as what to do. Edited November 15, 2013 by shift00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rturbo 930 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 what do you guys think about the little license plate slot? im have second thoughts about it.What don't you like about it? You certainly shouldn't move it, if that's what you're implying. It looks AWFUL when people put it in the roll pan. As for my opinion on it, I think the location is good, but the one thing that seems to be common for those that smooth out the rear is they don't give it any style, just flat. I think that was your goal, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it might look better if you were to add something - I don't know what - to it to give it some sort of shape. Personally, I don't much care for the flat look, but then again, I am pretty biased towards keeping the stock tail lights, and surrounds.

Wheeler Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I really like the taillight resesses and the smoothed out look. What tail lights will you use in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
