Thanks! I like 'em a lot better than some of the other wheels I've had.

It's looking good! The wheels are perfect.

Your car looks really awesome - ola - especially w/those Pony R's - I'm surprised you didn't go Chrome Pony R's - I think they 'make' them - anyway - looks great - Your really making me "lean" towards painting my coupe reef blue........it was the "IT" color w/the black interior - back in the day - I used to be able to go to the showroom and see them new..............

It was a toss up for me with chrome or silver. But every time I've owned aftermarket chrome wheels it seemed like the finish never held up that great. I even regularly keep my wheels cleaned and waxed.

Here's the progress on the rear disc swap. Either though this is swap straight forward, it has been a huge PITA!

ReefBlueHatch · Jan 16, 2013

Finally finished up the disc swap, just need to do the e-brake stuff. The brakes do not seem very powerful and the pedal is pretty stiff; I might try to re-bleed to see if there is more air.

And here's something I've been putting off for years. A PO replaced the hatch with a black one off a 87-89 car. When the car was repainted, no one "cut-in" the underside of the hatch. They never even bothered to unplug the harness, just cut the wires! I tracked down a NOS 92-93 wire harness from the inner quarter to the hatch. Then I found a 92-93 license light harness on ebay. So now I'll have license lights and a working cargo light. I still need to find a hatch lock actuator. I broke out all the cracked seam sealer and am putting POR15 over it and then spraying base and clear on the underside.

It never fails, whenever I feel bored or unmotivated with my car I end up seeing an update to this thread that reinvigorates me! Looks great as always.

Forgive the slight subject change, but I love your CB! A 350? That classic copper paint scheme...

Thanks, Grover. Lately the garage has been giving me a headache with too many projects, LOL. Not even seen in the pic is '69 Wheel Horse garden tractor I'm restoring.

That happens to me too when I see a good project on here.

It's a '71 CB450. My grandfather bought it new and recently gave it to me when he bought a trike. 35K miles and all original except for tires and battery.
