Projects Big daddy's 1960 El Camino

He's blasting the cragars, get em back tomorrow. So I'll have my wheels on next week and get off the shit list

 

So what color do you paint chrome wheels that are no longer chrome? Not really thinking silver. Put cast blast on this transmission, I'm considering using that on the wheels, kinda looks like an old magnesium wheel. Yes? No? Lead, guide, and direct me.

 

Pretty tough...cast blast on the inner and dull aluminum on the rim?

 

Forgot the picture of the transmission lol. I'm not sure lumpy. Never done this before lol

 

Pretty sure its not April 1st

 

Back in the 80’s a buddy had a set of now rare Cragar “snow mags”, they were regular Cragar SS but instead of chrome they were painted white, seems like they may have had a red pinstripe around the rim. They looked pretty good on his red 64 Impala SS.

 

This is my painted cragar ss

 

That's what lumpy is getting at i believe, looks good

 

This is what I used.

 

Hammered Finish!?

 

I'll get hammered, and then finish it

 

I don't know guys, I'm leaning towards red. I've never painted aluminum slots though, guess I can hit them with a scuff pad and some epoxy, then shoot the red.

 

Are you still at the fire house?

 

Yes.

 

That’s why.

 

Lmao!! C'mon man! I wanted somebody to cuss me over that comment!!! I thought it was pretty funny!

 

So did I

 

I'm sure I was hammered when I painted mine.

 

We’re pretty sure you were also!

 

What ever you do dont paint them black

 

I'm HAMMERD now, No RED for the love of god!! Damn big guy, switch to light beer .

 

I can't even think of a comeback to that

 

This is getting weird.
I've seen aluminum slots with the inside of the holes painted. The set I remember actually had red paint in it. Just don't drink that Butt Lite stuff.

 

I'm not painting them red lmao... just stirring the pot a little

 

Hey I painted the holes in my sprints red! Looked damned good too!

 

I tried a bunch of colors, you did good.

 

I’d have have mentioned the red, but then it would have added 17!pages of what color red

 

Cast blast is what I prefer.
