[QUOTE="Jr. Corvette, post: 154072, member: 1906"] Hey guys. Update! Still waiting on that stupid platic thrust washer to finish my transmission. In the mean time I finished taking the other door off my car. Stripped them both down and grinded them to the metal then applied some POR 15 and zero rust for an industructable finish. I also sand blasted my hinges, shims, mirrors, and some trim pieces. I painted the hinges in the same POR 15 and zero rust comination then installed new pins and brass bushings. Now all the slop is gone and they have a nice positive operation. I then prepped the body, doors, and parts for paint. I primed them then top coated them with the rat rod black from eastwood, the same matte black look that I painted the front of my car in. I just finished painting one of my doors but still have to paint the other one but I ran out of paint. Also I got some of the last parts for my transmission install. I got a new RAM aluminum flywheel and center force clutch rated at 700hp. I was going to go with their ceramic clutch but being that I got the aluminum flywheel I didn’t want to sacrifice drivability. Also picked up a stainless steel weighted shift knob. I didn’t care about it being weighted but the brushed stainless steel matches my brushed steering wheel and horn so I thought it’d look nice and from what I’ve read and heard the weighted knobs are good. Lastly I got some new door handles from rock auto. They’re so difficult to get at and my original ones were in terrible shape so I figured I better get them. [/QUOTE]
