1990 Indy 650 summer restoration...

Yes I realize that. On the very first pic you had before you started dismantling the entire sled there are red stripes on the tunnel right under the seat. Are you going to put them back on after you blast and paint the whole thing? You know - for the stock look? Or are they unavailable? I could believe that. It is getting old and if Pol is like AC there is stuff you just can't buy anymore.

I bought a complete graphics kit off eBay. I want this sled to look as close to stock as possible. Hopefully all is included.

Steam cleaned the motor today. Picking up chassis from the powder coater Monday.

Who did the powder coating? I need to get a truck bumper done.

 

[mikes99ss]

Sub zero coating out of Ishpeming. Amazing work. I'll post the chassis pics when I pick it up in the next day or two

 

[joks79]

Thanks. I never heard of them.

It's not really a business, per say, it's a guy who does it at his house for a living. Here's a few of the parts I've already picked up.

You are doing a first rate job. Stuff looks great.

Thanks, it definitely keeps getting more expensive. Lol

 

[mikes99ss]

Picked up the chassis today!! Kind of exciting!!

 

[skiroule]

See, this is why these projects are so cool. You're taking a classic sled and not only making it look like new, it will actually be better than new. The first ride will make all the time and money worthwhile.

Cleaned and re-assembled the primary tonight.

Exhaust all redone.

Looks excellent! What did you use for a coating? Exhaust paint or something more exotic?
