I like the way that turned aluminum turned out, looks good. I wonder why he wanted to keep in the D30? must be a show rig

WOW!!!!

i'd like to find out where he got that coil mount bracket, i need one of those.

the alum was treated to a process called "corking" it's really time consuming to do. you use a pice of round cork, say 1 1/2' in dia, and it's centered onto a stud & mounted into a drill press. not sure if any compound is used or not, but the drill press is turned on and you lower the cork onto the material to swirel one at a time..
was really popular years ago.

the coil bracket looks like it was just fabbbed up out of some alum sheet.

that is sharp. i wouldn't do anything that "busy". but still very very clean

 

[honkey84]

Too clean for my liking and the bling factor is way up there too!!!

 

[lil' hotz jr.]

No, I’m not a fan of the homie g bling bling either. I’m looking at the time and thought that was put into it

 

[daddyg]

It would look alot better if it was muddy...

 

[NYLES]

He needs some fake mud to put on it at shows ....Hed win more!

I don't mean to sound like a dick, but I have to agree... BLING BLING!

I kind of feal cheap and dirty just reading his description. Sounded like a used car salesman that overuses cliche's!!

Still, nice ride. I think I'll keep my oil burner though ;D .

I bet that Bronco longs for the hills and the mud! The idea of 4WD is to go off road! Polished aluminum under my hood would be useless. I keep my engine compartment protected from the elements by a nice coat of grease and dirt.

i would have to agree on the bling bling but living in a rust belt of contunal sat as it seems stuff that does not rust easy is a huge plus. granted there is glass but i just dont know on it. that is mmy reasoning for liking the bling.

I think the design on the aluminum is also called engine turning. You can do it with a hand drill and a wire wheel cone shaped stripper thingy(sorry cant think of the tool) and you just have to space it right. Just google aluminum engine turning.

it looks like he kept that in good condition for an 80's build up, haha, too many colors.
