frost, is that powder coat, or something else? I've been thinking about powdercoating all the suspension instead of POR-15 on them, but hadn't decided yet.

One of these days I hope mine looks that nice!

frost89434 · 08-03-2002, 12:54 AM

Actually all I did was cleaned it really well and used some primer and paint. I wish I could have done better but money is short. But I am really happy with the way it came out. Thanks for the compliment.

I would be proud too frost89434, That suspension looks factory fresh! Keep it up!

frost89434 · 08-03-2002, 01:42 AM

Here's a pic of the new wheels I put on it.

Gotta love them old rallys! That's what is going on mine--painted tho with interceptor caps. Can't beat the look for the money!

frost89434 · 08-04-2002, 12:04 AM

**chevy71super** · 08-04-2002, 12:23 AM

Its amazing what elbow grease and a few cans of spray paint can do. Its messy but well worth the effort. Very nice job!

super72bb · 08-04-2002, 12:43 AM

Hey Frost

I purchased the same wheels and caps they are 15/8"wide. If possible could you take another photo showing the whole tire and all. What size are the rims and tires that you have?

frost89434 · 08-04-2002, 01:59 AM

I'll take a pick for you tamorrow. the rims are 15/8 in the rear and 15/7 in the front. Can't remember right off hand what the tire sizes are. Like I said I'll get that info along with the picture tamorrow.

frost89434 · 08-04-2002, 10:53 PM

The rear tires are 275/60 15s and the fronts are 245 60 15s here is a pic of the whole tire and rim.

frost89434 · 08-05-2002, 12:03 AM

Yeah I used rustoleum. I used a scraper a scrubberpad, A drill with a wire brush and hours and hours of scrubbig with solvent out of my solvent tank. It worked really well.
