Delivery day!! (hey LAM thread)

[coolchange]

"Retired" signs are so cool. Years ago I asked our public works department if I could have a few signs for wall art and they told me they would set some beside the metal recycling trash dumpster for me. After two weeks I had to ask them to stop. I had no idea how many signs are damaged or replaced daily. I had 100+ signs in two weeks. Old faded signs are ok but to me the cool ones are the damaged / graffiti signs.

Anybody wanna hazard to guess as to how many of those signs became floors in sand rails?

Just a few more fixit tickets.

Billet specialties;

Flaming river waterfall (most muscley)

Out of those 3, I’d say the middle one, Billet Specialties. I like how the spokes are thinner and the black on black.
Awesome car.

… How about a Nardi…but maybe with laminated wood instead of the black…

This would be an absolute BITCH with no power steering lol.


I like the wood wheels, but they just don’t fit with the modern interior of this thing.

Upgrades on that machine are awsome!

And then of course off to my buddy for paint correction and ceramic. Cuz fuck it.

Me too, but in satin finish.

Sixteen HUNDRED fucking dollars. But this car is worth it

Annnnd Hagerty won’t insure it because of the “blower sticking up”

Middle steering wheel, cleaner and simpler.

My pick for steering wheel. If you worked East Los you could just take them off one of the cars you pull over.

Black billlet specialties with surround that matches seats.

I like the first wheel but the billet with carbon interior clash imho.

See this is my hang up.. do you match the steering wheel to the seats (tan) or the dash (gray /carbon fiber)

Bad ass, I am surprised the fuel tank isn't sumped, my street car isn't crazy fast, low 11's, but it was running out of fuel before I put a sump on the stock tank. Also, is that a brake rotor on the end of the driveshaft in front of the diff? I have seen on other applications, nothing like this though. Keep posting, love this thing.

Yep!

It’s an electronic e-brake (which doesn’t work currently. Lol)

Tan to match the seats….;

Or carbon fiber to match the FUCKload of carbon fiber…;

Mine is just cable that rubs on the driveshaft if you engage it

Gut says match the seats as I think it might be a tad too much carbon.

I don't hate the carbon wheel either and i just noticed the dash pad is black leather.

I would feel better if someone here could photoshop both wheels into that picture to make sure...lol

That’s the wheel I have in my 73 Buick Centurion convert… I took it off of a 72 Mercedes 280 SE 4.5 that I had

 

[FlyByWire]

Once again the boys at Detail Specialties fucking nailed it. It needed a LOT of paint correction and they essentially wet sanded the whole car.

I’ll list it for 55 most likely.

I need to give it the attention it needs to get it sold however. My 18 year old is begging me to let him have it.
