Jake,
My wife and I are going to Asheville on the Sunday, so I will not be joining the caravan this year. If I breakdown I will be calling you and expecting you to come to my rescue! Sound like a plan? See you there.
Me missed you at '02 Fest. You could have gotten caught up in the AR/MO floods like we did.
Good luck driving to Asheville.

Paul,
Thanks for the note re: your, er..., rather your car's, underside. Nicely done and looks nice. My '74 tii needs a good belly cleaning, degreasing, and general tidying-up. Will you be so kind as to provided a little of your experience?
You stated, "...I cleaned the trunk and underside down to metal and completed a POR15 process."
1. How did you go about cleaning your belly and POR15'ing? Take it to the pressure car wash? Up on stands and crawling under? Hand washing? etc.?
2. How did you manually clean the belly? Chems? Soap? Pressure? Scraping?
3. How did you go about applying anti-rust? Applied over all components, including frame, etc.?
Photos of my car and a few representations of its underside are attached.
Thanks for any help, wise counsel, and sage advice.

"Hope that helps."...it certainly does, Paul. THANK YOU for giving me lots of good recommendations to consider and to keep me busy. I think it does our cars a great injustice to ignore the belly. I guess it is OK to do so; however, what really gets me is to see a nice car with a dirty engine bay. AAAGGGHHH! I don'r really mind if it is cluttered or old or needs mechanical/electrical attention or whatever, but for Heaven's sake, clean the damn engine and bay!
I have used Rust Mort as a rust stopper and preventative. Works easily and well. However, I will try the three-step POR-15 process b/c so many of our 02'ers have done so.
Good luck with your car.

I am interested in your car as a project. A couple of questions if you don't mind, please.
1. Does it need some work to wake it up and get going?.
2. Will it start, run, and perhaps make it to Cincinnati?
3. Any rust issues: trunk, rocker panels, jack points, and door bottoms? The wheel wells and engine bay look pretty good.
Thanks for posting and for taking time to answer.

Yes, indeed, can you share some photos of your new LED lights installed and working? We will really appreciate such posts. Or feel free to send them to me personally. Also, do you have any idea of the difference (other than cost) between the four type of 7" lights offered by VintageCarsLED?
Thanks,

Roundie,
I, too, love original/stock '02 steel wheels and always desired same in 14x6 size. However, I never thought such combo would ever exist. Your project looks sweet, indeed. Please update me/us re: how your alterations were done and how the project works out.
I like my Panasports but would drop them immediately for your new invention...
Regards,

Test fitted the mock up over Girling calipers with slotted rotors. I am restomodding my '72 and wanted to make sure of fitment. next step is to have the wheel completed and then I'm going to have it powder coated. The completed version should be finished by month end. This may not be an economical everyday wheel though. The fabrication is $200 and powder coating probably $60-$80 each. If I'm not mistaken Panasports can be had for that.
