Slot Mag Porn

I have been looking for a decent set of wheels of wheel to use on my Anglia. The Centerlines it was wearing when I baught it were just a little too new for me. I'm looking to take the car back to a late '60's g***er. So I found a pair of polished Indy slots on that auction site. A nice solutiuon to half of my problem.

Then I was lucky enough to score a set of Fenton Gyro 3.5 wides for the front. They we're pretty crusty so a polish job was in order. Well, about 6 hours worth of sanding a polishing got me to this.



A little final polishing and they will be good to go!






Polishing aluminum is not a whole lot of fun, but man what a return on investment! Loving the look of the slot mags on the car.

Much improved!!!

Looking good, takes a long time but your right nothing beats the results.

 

Bingo!..... Just like new...

 

Looks great!

 

Ooooh Yeahhhh!

 

nice!!!

 

The cats *** man! Looks GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

 

Sweet !

 

Thanks guys. Now I have to get motivated to get the other one polished..

It should go quicker than the first since I have the tools I need and know what what the hell I'm doing.

 

Those really look nice on that car! Nice work.

 

I have always had a soft spot for slots, there one of the best wheels out there just my .02 they turned out nice....

 

I was wondering why you hadn't posted about buying another new car in the last week. Good to see your using your time constructively. I think your on the cutting edge of the next new "must have" as I've heard rumors that slots were on the way back. 'Bout time, I always thought they were *****in wheels. So, as long as your all wound up and doing such great work I'll drop off a couple sets of mine and you can make them all pretty.

Damn. I dig it.

 

Really nice combination! Beautiful job!!

You make me want to go finish sanding and polishing my truck wheels.
But I ain't gonna.

 

It has been a crazy year with the cars, Frank.

That said, I think I'm good for awhile. Loving the Anglia and the convertible should be fun this summer (after summer all bets are off). And, as I have said before, the '34 isn't going anywhere!!!!

Yup, I'm always the trend-setter - Slots are the next big thing. You heard it here first!!!

I'd offer to come and pick up a couple of your wheels, but I'm afraid if I ever went to your place, I would never want to leave!!!!

Suits the Pop perfectly, brings back a lot of memories.

 

Thanks, Nads

 

I have always had a soft spot for slots. Anglias are fairly new to my brain, but no better choice in wheels after seeing this!

 

Polish is ok but I still love them in the machine finish just like they came of the wheel lathe when I worked at Ansen

 

Very cool Wrongway. I gotta say I love the Factory finish also. Problem is, once the wheels are cruded up from 40+ years of use, it's way easier to polish them than to get that perfect lathe turned look.

perfect for that car

now get the wheels on the other side done

 

Nice wheels, although I'm biased because I also run US Indys with skinny Gyros

Your car rocks. Can't wait to see how she runs with the new engine.

 

Thanks man, your car is definitely a looker, I just hope the new engine performs as well as I "imagined" the old one would...lol

 

Wheels look good on your Anglia, perfect fit! I feel your pain on the polish job, I just resurrected a set of early 70's US Indy slots for O/T '71 Road Runner.

 

wheels can be a deal breaker or maker your car would be sweet with about any kind on it but that is the look i love really sweet
