wheee! Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share #1756 Posted December 29, 2017 A little bad news. The Stanza spare tire and wheel do not fit the big brake kit. I will need to order 5 wheels and tires and pack a full size spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheee! Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share #1759 Posted December 29, 2017 Maybe he has a different Wilwood caliper? Mine will not fit. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share #1760 Posted January 3, 2018 Finally got around to sandblasting the front cross member. Too big for the cabinet, so I did it outside with a big box to catch the majority of the grit. Messy but effective. I didn’t stop to get sandblasting pics, but the powder coater did a great job!

Patcon Posted January 3, 2018 Share #1761 Posted January 3, 2018 That looks really good! Probably more durable than my paint too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheee! Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share #1762 Posted January 3, 2018 I’m liking it! Keep in mind, locally I would have been charged about $300 to get this part stripped and powder coated. Buying my own system has saved me thousands in the long run I’m sure. I have powder coated a lot of parts already! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more durable than my paint too...I believe the powder coat is more durable, but that also depends on how long you ‘cure’ it with heat after the powder flows out. I really like the versatility of the heat lamp, but I am always paranoid about getting enough cure time using it instead of the oven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
