Since (if) arms are now chrome, that is what I would do again. All chrome would have to be removed before paint will stay on them.

 
I appreciate you posting the rebuild @Mac.

It allows me, and I’m sure some others, to live vicariously through you and others on the form. I love to see what people are doing to their cars and comparing it to how much the industry has changed since 1983. For me, my wage earning days are over and they tell me I’m getting old. Ha, I still love the dunes and will continue to ride until the big man says come home.

Congratulations on the rebuild, she’s a beauty and getting better all time.

 
After the funco fire,  Cam belts instead of latches and a fire system? 

 
looks great!!! Chrome pops in the sunlight. Went black and well once you go black.... and I dont like it. Boring to me lots of black out there in the dunes already. more peanut gallery here lol. 

Oh yea keep the subi or go subi 6 banger like John and G monkey.

A combo of everything gloss black/matter black with some dark grey would be sick!

 
I'm sticking with the same red for the frame and panels.  The debate right now is to either keep the suspension chrome or powder coat a different color (silver, black, gray).  I'm leaning towards just having everything re-chromed or maybe powder coat silver.

So over to the peanut gallery for thoughts, inputs and overall joy stealing bullsh*t comments.
While you have it apart you might want to talk to Ed at SU about doing the coilover and bypass conversion on the front. It goes from a single 8" coil to a 10". Its my next upgrade on my ultralight.

 
:lol:

Can you really put a price on happiness and the journey of the build?

Not like I have kids to put through school anymore... :lol:
The price of happiness doesn't include a badass sound system that's on par with your old DJ system?!

YOLO!  I'll text you later this year with what I'm working on.

That would be cool for sure.  I'm just not computer savvy and not sure how much I'd retain.

I do still need to find a Fueltech Subi tuner.
The display is fully customizable and touch screen. You can toggle between screens as well.  

The software is free to download, and you can fake set up an engine and displays to play with.

What about one of the new Holley systems? In our shop we have gotten away from everything else and install just Holley now. 

 
I like it!

Happy that you decided to post.
