My nose plate arrived in the mail and it wasn't what I expected. I had to strip off the old paint, cut, sand, polish and paint it again to make it half decent.

I kinda dig the gold AE logo.

Yeah, the tub was bent and previously straightened with pliars etc. I checked it on a piece of glass and got it as straight as I could but is still a bit wavey.

I dug through my parts box to see where it went. I tried the black thing but wasn't feeling it.

I think The all black looks great. Maybe if you didn't want all black you could break it up with polishing the edges of the tub? either way I like it.

Although the black material is stonger I just couldn't connect with it,

So,

I went white.

I definately like the white better and can finally start building a car out of it. Hopefully the white makes it faster. I may polish the edges, gotta see how the car transpires.

Followed by some fancy hubs, Lundsford turnbuckles and beefy RPM ball cups.

Although I was trying to avoid CVA's all together I tried the B44 rear CVA's as they were the closest. They are still slightly too long but I think I can make them work with a few modifications if need be.

My main plan is hoping I can convice a machinist friend to knock up a set of CVD bones. If neither work out the last resort is to cut and shorten a set of B4 CVD bones.

When a few of us were running the alloy hubs for the B4, we had to machine them extensively to make them work without slamming into the drive cups-

Lots of axle support there :lol: But you have to do what you do to make things work. I knew it was a risk but it seems like there are ways around it.
