Re: My Bu's "Re"Build Thread-New Stuff 6/16

Went to a local cruise-in on Saturday. My camera stopped working after a few pics, so I didn't want to start a new thread for a couple pics. Hope you can enjoy what I did get, lol.

My boy really liked this Vette.

And this thing is a beast!

I really wish I woulda got out there and got a better video of this.


And since my camera crapped out, a friend of mine took this with his phone. I was kinda disappointed with it, so I did alot better one when I came back but no video of that one, sorry.

I'm bringing this back from the dead for some updates. I know some of this is repeated in another thread but this will have more detail. Got some new rims, went with Coys C5's in black chrome. Fronts are 17x8 and the rears are 18x9.5. I'm gonna have to run spacers, the only backspace they had them in were 5.5. I had planned on running 225/50/17 in the front, since I have them, and bought some 285/40/18 for the rear. However, the rears did not pass the pre-ship inspection from where I bought them, so as of now I will be using 255/45/18, also because I have them.
I have some more stuff in the works so tire selection may change.

I've also managed to get all my paint needs, minus sandpaper. I already had silver, but really wanted black. After seling off some stuff, I had the money to get my black. I also got a deal on some mettallic clear, which i'm somewhat on the fence with right now. It will however get the purple pearl mixed in.

You may have also noticed, I have a couple gallons of fiberglass resin. Well i plan on cutting up this Honda hood(craigslist free score), and making a ram air hood for the Bu. My skills are limited so wish me luck.

Then I also have some angle and flat aluminum that I think I can make into a new core support. I will post pics to all of these as I get work done. Now if the weather will cooperate I can get to work.
