Nice job Casey. Handy to have a round table for painting the wheels. I thought the masking had gone wrong until you then took that fine line tape off. Looking forward to seeing what you have to show. Mart.
Thanks Mart! I thought the masking had gone wrong too, as I was re-watching my footage, but then I remembered that the wheels came out perfect. 😊 Haha! Look for a tour of the new shop-space next week. Until then. Cheers!
Yeah, I wanted it to look like the bare oxidized magnesium though. Otherwise, you’re totally right. Eventually they’ll get caps, but the metal mag wheel caps for the early wheels are nearly impossible to find, and often more than $100ea when you do. Even more for legit American Racing caps. I have 2 so far…
I’ve done them completely by hand before. You could look at fabricating a hub for an electric motor, but you’ll have to have a jackshaft to slow it down. I used a cheap wheel adapter and my wife’s Honda.
I had the same issue, I ended up putting my explorer on a lift, and zip tying the ETs to the explorer wheel via the spokes, piece of cardboard in-between explorer when and the et, then put explorer in drive, similar to the video
Good to see you working smart with the “car lathe”. Wheels came up really well. And the outtakes are back!!! Woohoo!!
😂 regarding the outtakes…
I’m glad the consensus has been that the “car lathe” was “working smart”, and not “being sketchy”. 😊

I like it.
At about 2:30, you remind me of one of those drinking bird toys. I think it’s the color and fast motion feature. Thanks for the fun.
😂😂😂 I thought that when I watched it too, Mark. Thank YOU!!
Wow looks Awesome Great job!
Thank you Ranger! I LOVE these early TTD wheels!
Thats pretty neat idea for wheel polishing lathe. There's a really strong Bullit vibes with these wheels, nice job!
Well…that IS what I’m going for. 😊 👍🏼👍🏼
Picked up a set of E-T Mag Torque Thrusts for a hundred bucks. They were blacked out. I like the lighter gray look.
That “chalked” paint is holding up pretty good, though she’s babied…
I would of left the base where your center cap goes bare. Should of taped that off. IMO good job though. Taking notes over here. 💪🏻🤛🏻

As the rear isn't hooked up in my car, any ideas for sanding?
