Pete's (Now Nate's) 2003 Denali Budget Build thread

so, since i got a set of wheels that are a different style than i was planning. My ideas for the concept have slightly changed as well. The Foose wheels are a little too 'chromey' for me. I want to paint the faces/spokes. but leave the lip, rivets and center chrome.

Still plan on Bermuda Blue on the lower, a glass black line, and a velvet black on the upper. Something like this.

Chrome goes good with that pewter metallic.

having no AC in 120 degree heat is a hell of a motivator.

@05Single , go back a page. He got it done already haha. I'm thinking about checking out my AC tensioner now and making sure its all good haha. Any photos of that so I know what to look for?

truthfully, i think the deepest i ever dug into an engine was like the intake manifold on an OBS. and my buddy helped me do most of it.

Oh yeah, I meant to say I hope you find a shop that will make the wheels look like you want. I want my chrome 20s powder coated and none of the busy shops anywhere remotely close will even agree to do it. Sucks.....

i hear ya, powder coating is the best as far as strength of the coat. pretty sure imma spray everything myself. gotta get a new compressor though. my 60 gal i used to use is now at my friends house 3 hours away. i got my eye on a new compressor that should be able to handle the CFM i need. painting her probably wont actually happen until like September or so. i enjoy painting and customizing stuff. mechanical and engine stuff isn't exactly my favorite thing to do
