my opinion also, its staying on the walls Good shit

Looks a heap better the white walls then the volks. But that is just my opinion

Yeah I am going to go hunting for some white etching primer when I go to Hamilton this weekend. I will see what its worth from the wholesaler and if it aint too much we should see pictures of the Merc finally being a little less gh3y.

I take it you have painted a few white wall tyres in your time, what brand of paint do you find is best for doing it?

Its first round of competition this weekend, you always get a shit load of jap imports racing but its DYO not head to head racing. Yeah you pay up, get the car inspected and then sure you are pretty sweet to race.

Anyone decided to go for a look after checking out the swapmeet at Kumeu? We finally fixed the torque convertor in the drag car and have tuned the carb to perfection, so with a bit of luck might get a low 10 but be much nicer to get a high 8. We dont bite so if you see the car about, cruise over and have a chat.

Just an 85 190e, very uncool on 17 inch chrome mags and the like

So would be keen, but cant seem to get rid of my merc

How were the white walls done dude? Do you know someone with a special roller?

Do they require certification for having them flipped like that?

Who flipped the rims for you dude? Loving what you are doing to this ute, showed my old man and he is keen to do something similar to his crappy work ute.

So how did this go?

Just up from Spot-X, you get to it off Ward St

Remember driving down those ways when had my crappy VL, even made that paint job look cool

Yeah good point there, should just concentrate on the Rat Rod but far too impatient and want to change the merc or flick it off. Might just have a play at beating the gaurds out for a bit of fun.

Yeah I currently have 17x8s on it at the moment, and i could bring it down maybe another inch and a half in the back. But if I wanted to take it down any further in the front I would have to beat out the guards. And that is something I dont really feel like doing.

Yeah I got a merc wrecker just up the road and thats what they had on offer. I could always just do this, what do ya think? (excuse the rushed MSpaint skills)

Its for my shitty '85 190E

These are my steel rim options I have available to me, can get them for $40 a rim in steel or $50 a rim in alloy. This just doesnt seem wide enough So if I was wanting as little wall as possible on them, what tyre specs would you suggest?

Fuck if it wasnt in Auckland then I would be keen as, I feel like I slowly die everytime I get near the place with the shit drivers they have up there.

Ok at my hot rod meeting last night I organised to pick up the body that hasnt been at home in a few years. Hope it hasnt gotten worse Also picture of the drag car at Meremere

Um when I get my slack ass together I will take some photos of all the parts I currently have for the rat rod, got everything to make it a rolling chassis but yeah I am slack. Will just be running a nice little 350 chev motor with a powerglide with a bit of luck. Want to run a manual box but just dont think there is going to be enough room for a manual pedal box with my big feet

Yes the 38 is a lovely cab, but its full of disease and might be a little hard to fix. It is always talked about at home though, since we have the bonnet and nose cone for it also. Paint job is done by my brother, he is just about to finish his car painting apprentaship.

As she is before she got sign written and upholstered Minus body and rear wheels

Ok so this summer I am finally going to start my project, had to wait till the 23 Alterd Drag Car was built and wouldnt you know it that is done and has its first go down the strip this weekend. Ok this thing is going to be built on the cheap, but not making any compromise on safety of course Will be running a Ford rear end, a chassis that was built back in the 80s to house TWO engines (I will only be running one). I have a body that needs a fair bit of work to get to painting stage, and nearly everything to get it rolling. Only things really to buy are engine and trans, all the electrical stuff and steering coloum. So I know there is going to be a nice member out there that is going to let me know how to get pictures up here when they are taken too. But for now I have some pictures of the newly built drag car if anyone wants to see that Discussion Thread //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/23755-want-oldskools-bucket/page-1?hl=insani-t
