Altereds / Paint finishes

« on: September 20, 2016, 09:24:48 AM »

Hi , I'm looking to get hold of some paint to replicate two finishes. Firstly does anyone know how I can get that dark gold Matt colour for rear wheels the same as on some altereds back in the day, winged express springs to mind.  Secondly I'm looking for a paint to replicate the cast aluminium finish on blowers, my blower is polished and I want that Matt light grey slightly textured finish.

Thanks Alan, I appreciate your help and advice. I have a good idea you're exactly right, that it will just come Unexpectedly whilst I'm mocking it all up and I step back and it is just right.

Altereds / Chassis heights

« on: September 16, 2016, 07:24:49 AM »

Hi, I'm putting a new chassis in my altered, it's an altered slingshot type chassis. I'm looking for a ride height like the old altereds like the magic muffler and mondello or similar. Can anyone tell me roughly how much clearance there should be under the bottom chassis rail? So I can position my axles.

Hi, what an awesome site. I'm new on here and
I come from West Yorkshire, home of last of the summer wine. I'm building a 94" wb topolino nostalgia car. It has a bop engine with rootes blower, home built high rise inlet and edelbrock carb, hot cam and modified to run on alcohol. A lot of the stuff is home brewed as I'm a blacksmith by trade and the shop
Comes in useful.
