Here's a couple of the pan for my ghia, I feel like a bit of a fraud as there is no peddle cluster or parking brake, but they are all waiting to be chromed and that won't happen until after the body is back on so this is my last(ish) chance!

Hope you all approve!

Hi Skim,

They are Bridgestone 145/65 15s for a smart car

I don't have a close up of them at the moment but they are a sweet tyre-

I will try and get one next time I go down to the garage. Wink

Just got my frame back from powdercoating and
have most of it assembled. I narrowed the beam
3.5 inches and used 2.5 inch CB spindles and
avis adjusters. Tires and wheels will be replaced
with Gas Burners most likely.

Here's the pan I've been working on for my CMC Speedster replica. The pan was shortened and supplied to the original owner buy a California based shop. It was never detailed and needed some welding work, grinding, paint, and assembly. All parts (cosmetic and mechanical) were stripped, prepped, and painted with POR15 then top-coated with BLACKCOTE made by the POR15 people. This includes all the braking parts as well. We cleaned and polished the tranny and replaced all rubber parts with urethane.

Any helpful hints for polishing the tranny, I'm in the middle of doing

that now? Any particular tools, or did you do it by hand?

This is how we did it:

First I scraped all the crud then pressure washed the tranny with hot water and petroleum-based degreaser.

Then I got my wife (It's supposed to be her car) to get busy with the brass coated wire wheel on the drill...

Even the dog got into it.

I bought three or four sizes of wire brush to get in all the nooks and crannies.

My wife got bored so I finished the polishing with a fine wire brush and a dremel tool to get into the smallest spots, then I masked off the tranny to paint the axles.

Then I sprayed the steel parts.

That's the best way we could revive this old tranny... In time we'll probably have one built with stronger gears and fully paint detail it. Until then, this will suffice...

thanks for that, I will give it a try. Hadn't thought of the wire wheels.

Yours looks good.
