Re: bell housing and clutch question

A few weeks ago when I was thinking on painting those accuride rims above I made this contraption from a old throw out bearing with a plate weld too it and clamped the set up to a junk vice and screwed it down too a saw horse.

Used it to spin the rims for sanding,clean up and primer and paint. It worked fairly well but couldn't spin them too fast cause they would blow/fan the paint away. Slowly worked the best.

I figured I wanted too Polish the camaro's wanna be drag lites before mounting the new tires.

So I made a improved wheel spinner for my bishman tire changer after i completed its well over do serviceing.

Tire machine spins at the perfect speed and I made this so I can mount the rims on it and hold a buffer or rag and just spin Polish them.
At this time I only have the 4 3/4" lug pattern drilled in it now but I also laid out and punched the 5 on 5 pattern the 5 lug metric pattern, 6 lug pattern and 8 lug just for future use and I'm Only using 3 studs too hold the wheels.

My buddy saw my contraption/adapter and is gonna try pin stripeing his rat rod wheels on it.
Should work great since I busted my butt to keep the runout to a minimal.

Another buddy booked it for a weekend too clean up some old slots.

Gotta start charging these guys
