Well here’s some progress pics of the 20” LTZ wheels I got to declad and have powder coated. I love aftermarket rims, but always see certain makes/models fail or crack or have paint defects etc. I figured these are oem rims and may hold up a little better in the long run.

Then came the hours of chipping all the cladding off…




That’s from 2 rims…

Not sure there would be enough time, we can always go again I guess! My kids and their friends all want to run the first Friday in January. Trying to get my plugs and wires and intake gasket done so I can come and play too! Time for some runs on gasoline to see what the tune will do. All the other runs were on E85.

Dropped off to my buddy’s powdercoat shop here in Pompano Beach for an acid bath, pressure clean, then sand blasting and baking and finally some Prismatic Powders “Alloy Silver”. Just picked them up tonight. He nailed it. Now I just have to sort out the TPMS sensors, as one in my Tahoe is now dead since I knicked a curb a few weeks back. Have some Goodyear Eagle LS2’s to mount up once that’s handled. Slowly but surely coming along.

We've met twice before Covid hit. Just small groups of us, 5 or 6 guys. Last meet was supposed to be at Orlando Speedway so fellas up north could attend.

I still after 8 years havent been to a C&C. My buddy JohnnyZ owns and runs that one. I bought one of my first mustangs off him back in 2006.

They are nice looking wheels without the claddings, understated and old school looking.
