If you have any kind of cam you will need about a "3000 rpm" converter to be streetable even with the blower. remember the blower isn't doing anything except mix the air fuel at idle and not much more just cruising. You can have very high vac at cruise.
Now, just asking for a 3000 converter will get you something rated for NA motors, and relatively inexpensive. However a 6-71 sbc will make huge torque at 2000 rpm and even lower so this converter will "flash" or stall much higher. This is why the guys are recommending high performance and well built units. The lower priced ones will eventually fail due to over loading.
I have a 3000 NA converter that flashes to 4000 plus without trying very hard. Needless to say I don't abuse it very often. Nothing like having a major problem 50 miles into nowhere back roads when out crusing with the guys. Even with AAA and extended coverage it still is an all day experience getting towed home.
My car is very light at 2800 lbs rolling so the drive line isn't loaded like your truck will be.
Get a good one....a failed converter will probably take the trans with it.
This rating works very well on the street and is very comfortable to drive. Even crusing at highway speeds it does not slip much. I use a medium sized trans cooler and seldom see temps over 150-180.
|I'm using Mike Ridings who owns "Vortex Converters" in Michigan. He is highly recommended by the guys on the Camaro, Mustang, Chevelle websites. He's going to build an 11" Trailblazer converter for me that stalls around 26-2800 rpm for my 507" Cadillac/ '32 Ford. Not a race conveter just a very well bulit unit......and a very good price. He's also a certified welder and tigs all fins before he puts the halfs back together. Give him a call....usually after 6 PM and have as much info as possible on your setup. Tell him Dave with the big Cad sent you (586) 255-3426
|what bucket said and make sure its welded inside and not just a stock rebuild.you converter needs to be very heavy duty if you make any power
|Basic rule is the converter should "stall" when the engine is at the start of its power band. Your best bet would be to call a good converter company, give them all your specs and see what they recommend. There are a ton of variables and they all matter.
blower motor converter
On this forum I have found tons of information about torque converters and tons of information about blower motors but im having a hard time finding information about a torque converter for a blower motor. So what do you guys think. I have a 56 f100 that will be used for 95% street use. It will have either a th350 or th400 transmission and a small block chevy( yes I know heresy if your a ford guy and the only thing of value if your a chevy guy) with a 6-71 running between 5 and 8 pounds of boost and basic cam and heads. Alos if it helps it has a corvette rear suspension in it with fairly tall gearing.

Dining on high at the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse
March 23, 2012
A dining experience at the Tennessee Pass Cookhouse is one of those quintessential Colorado experiences, a must-do for visitors and locals alike. Of course, extra-ordinary dining experiences in the High Country aren't a new thing, but they never get old, either. Fine dining is something everyone enjoys, so why not enjoy it with breathtaking views of Colorado mountain ranges over your shoulder? Enter the Tennessee Mountain Nordic Center, Cookhouse, and Sleep Yurts. In business for the last 18 years, you could say they pretty much have this high-altitude dining experience dialed. For those who love cross-country skiing, this is truly one of the greatest dining experiences on the planet.The great thing about the Cookhouse is you can also hike, snowshoe or get a snowmobile ride up the 1.3 miles to the dining yurt, situated on National Forest land overlooking the majestic Sawatch Range. The trail gains about 300 feet in elevation, and even beginners can ski it. The ski back down could challenge the skills of the first-timer, however, depending on snow conditions.It creates a remote and intimate feeling that can really only be had through human powered (or for some, snowmobile-powered) transport. And don't worry, ski rental, trail fee and even a headlamp are included in the price of the meal. In the summer, guests trade ski boots for hiking boots, and the Cookhouse switches out snowmobiles for old-school Land Cruisers, to help get supplies and guests up to the yurt in time for dinner.This is a completely off-grid dining experience, with propane and spring water brought in while solar powered batteries run lights, satellite radio for dining ambience, and a two-way radio for communicating with the Nordic center. Heat is provided by a pot-bellied stove left over from the 10th Mountain Division, a perfect artifact given the Cookhouse's location at the base of Ski Cooper, former training ground of America's skiing troops of World War II. Wine-bottle Tiki torches greet guests as they approach the wide deck and picnic tables of the yurt, and pre-dinner imbibements are available (wine and beer is also available with dinner for an extra charge).
Authentically Colorado menu items are delectably prepared by chef Casey Puntdnney, who has been serving up these meals for more than seven years. In the winter, one seating per night takes place at 6 p.m. sharp, so be at the Nordic Center no later than 5:30 to gear up and hit the trail. The dining yurt is a robust 704 square feet and seats up to about 40 people. If the views and setting are spectacular, the food itself is to die for. Guests must call ahead to reserve the entre portion of the four-course meal. Choose from grilled elk tenderloin in a port reduction, Colorado rack of lamb with Grand Marnier sauce, cedar-planked wild Alaskan sockeye salmon, among other chicken and vegetarian dishes. The signature mashed potatoes are a clever, creamy blend of red and sweet potatoes. To energize for the ski or hike out, enjoy a perfect cup of coffee from local Leadville roaster City on the Hill (formerly Proving Ground). The kicker for this dreamy dining experience is the ability to spend the night. This year, the Nordic Center and Cookhouse introduced the Sleep Yurts, two 150-square-foot traditional yurts fully outfitted with all the creature comforts one could want, in the fashion of a hut trip without having to huff in your own gear in, leaving your hands free to enjoy the 25 kilometers of world-class groomed Nordic trails. Down booties, down comforters, queen mattresses on handcrafted log beds, solar powered lighting, fresh spring water, and complimentary coffee, cider and hot chocolate are all there waiting; as well as a fully stocked wood pile and pre-lit wood burning stove, a single-burner propane stove and necessary cook- and dishware. If reservations at the Cookhouse are full, take advantage of the deliciously indulgent catered menu. This is the only backcountry yurt in the state where one can get Italian buffalo meatloaf and cheese fondue delivered by snowmobile to the front door. And don't forget to add the wine and a breakfast basket, so you yourself can pack ultra-light. Owners Dave Bott and Ty Hall have created the perfect Colorado overnight experience to accompany an equally spectacular dining experience with a long history of satisfying local guests year after year, and sending out-of-town guests home with an unforgettable gastronomical memory.

Emmitsburg, Md. (April 23, 2011)-Mount St. Mary's defeated Wagner, 22-5, to clinch the Northeast Conference regular season title on Saturday afternoon in men's lacrosse action at Waldron Family Stadium on campus.
Senior face-off specialist Ben Trapp went 21-for-21 (1.000) on face offs in the game to tie for the second-best single-game mark in NCAA history. Zach Smith (Sacred Heart) holds the record by winning all 25 of his face-offs against Hartford on April 25, 2007 while Alex Smith of Delaware was 21-for-21 on face-offs against Wagner on February 28, 2006.
Brett Schmidt and Mike Adkins each scored four goals to pace the Mount offense, which had nine players record multiple-point games.
Cody Lehrer had three goals and two assists while Andrew Scalley added two goals and three assists in the win. Bryant Schmidt and Brooks Bradley posted two goals each with Mark Stapor and Bryan Kane each adding a goal and an assist in the win. Eric Ososki had three assists as well for the Mount.
Daniel Stranix, Anthony Golden and Kyle Yates each chipped in a goal in the victory while T.C. DiBartolo made six saves while allowing two goals in the first half. Trapp added a game-high 14 ground balls in the win.
Mount St. Mary's rattled off a string of 11 consecutive goals spanning the end of the first half and beginning of the second half to seal the victory, taking a commanding 16-2 lead with 4:11 left in the third quarter.
Mount St. Mary's outshot the Seahawks 51-25 in the game and held a 40-19 edge in ground balls.
Wagner's Colin O'Rourke had two goals and an assist in the loss.
The Mount win coupled with the Robert Morris 16-15 win at Bryant clinched the regular season title. The Mount is 4-0 in league, one game ahead of Quinnipiac (3-1) with one game left in the regular season.
The Mount defeated the Bobcats, 16-10, last week and owns the tiebreaker if the teams end tied at the end of the regular season.
Mount St. Mary's (7-5, 4-0) will host the Northeast Conference Championship on May 6 and 8.
The Mount closes out the regular season on Saturday, April 30, when Bryant visits for a 1:00 p.m. game. The Mountaineers will honor the 2011 senior class prior to the game.

Product 52/53
From Sweet Rot..." In my humble opinion, "Your Sorcery" is the best song Austin's Woven
Bones have committed to wax so far in their brief career. Its crazy
tight rhythm section keeping everything grounded, perfect guitar tone,
and just enough 'tude in the vocals should keep you spinning it over
and over and over again. The flip "Howlin Woof" relaxes the intensity a
bit but succeeds just as much with its slow-burn approach. Previous 7"s
(including a split with the Jacuzzi Boys) were on Hozac and Needless
and an LP is upcoming from Hozac. Black vinyl..."

text: i have been considering getting a 1911 framed pistol and i am a big fan of 45acp's so im prone to get one in 45. anyways i've also noticed that more and more 1911 framed 38super's are popping up. ive read a few articles on the round and a few reviews but no hands on experience with the round itself. so what im wanting to know is side by side how do they stack up against each other. especially like to hear from someone who has a 1911 framed 38super and how it handles and accuracy


text: That was a fun game to watch. I thought Lee retired from Leecaps? Tayshaun pretty much threw Stuckey under the bus in his post game comments. I think at this point the team has to either put together a lineup that can win some games....or stick with Stuckey and let him rack up some stats for his next contract. After the game there was no hugging.

'"It's unfortunate that we lost the game in overtime, but we still have to be happy with the point. We did not have the best legs tonight, but we kept battling through it and showed character," said Satan, who extended his points streak to five games with three goals and four assists over the span.'

There was a time when people would take a matchbook from a restaurant so that they could remember it later. Today, many people keep lists of places they want to remember on scraps of paper or in the notepad apps on their phones: everything from places they have been, to places recommended by friends, to that cool boutique that they walked by on the street. The difficulty, however, is keeping the places, locations, and notes organized and readily available.
With Matchbook you can create your go-to list of restaurants and bars and keep tabs on them all. Save, tag, and curate everything, whether it's a new place you're dying to try or an old favorite you want to remember—it's all at the ready.

With UPS Returns Plus, our drivers come straight to your customers' doors to collect return items, giving you added insight into your inbound returns while providing your customers with more personal service.

UPS Returns Plus is ideal for:
Standard UPS Returns features--like the ability to process single- and multiple-piece returns, create commercial invoices, and monitor inbound and outbound returns--are also available with this service.
1 UPS Pickup Attempt (UPS 1 Attempt Returns Plus)
A UPS driver will attempt to collect the return package one time. If it is not available for pickup, the UPS driver will leave a return label at the pickup location. Your customer can then take the package to any UPS location, provide it to a UPS driver, or request a UPS On-Call Pickup®.
3 UPS Pickup Attempts (UPS 3 Attempts Returns Plus)
A UPS driver will attempt to collect the package over three business days; after the third attempt, the return label will be sent back to UPS.
As with all UPS Returns services, your company is not billed for transportation until the package is delivered.

Saturday delivery may also be available for UPS Returns.

This is why the Reds gave Joey Votto a 10 year extension. In a few years, $20MM/yr is going to look awfully cheap.
Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
Before the caps, you had the Yankees and Rangers spending an insane amount of money on amatuer draft and international FAs. At least the playing field is leveled on the draft now. With the cap, I doubt you will see small market teams punting draft picks, or drafting to save money (which was pretty common for Cincy and Pittsburg in the early 2000's). IIRC, part of the new agreement also forbids giving Major League contracts to draftees, which helps everyone out.
The new draft rules are one step towards parity/fairness.. Sure, there's a lot more work to be done, but at least they fixed one facet that they could.
Because if they didn't fix that, Cincy might spend 10 million on the draft, but LA would spend 100...
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
Once the ink is dry on this deal, what could the new owners of the Dodgers flip the franchise for?
I also think the new rules will bring the cost per draft choice down. I don't see Scott Boras getting the kind of money he used to get for Strasburg and Harper. The cost to do business in the draft will eventually start to fall.
As far as I know, the luxury tax threshholds have not changed. That seems to be throttling the spending of many large markets now.
Also, I think the owners are not going to let salaries escalate as quickly as they have in the past. We can see the trend in the last 5 years or so. The Cy Youngs and MVPs get the 20-25 million/year (which is about what Arod got from Texas as a high water mark a long time ago), but the payscale for the average/above average player has not gone up much over the past 5-10 years.
I'm not calling it collusion, but I think the owners now have an almost unspoken agreement not to overpay for the non-superstars.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
To expand on my previous point, I'll give the example of Robinson Cano. The Yankees spent a pretty decent amount to get him at the time in 2001. Now, all the teams are on the same level playing field to get a Cano type player. The Yankees or any of the large market teams can't come in there is throw their weight around. It's a huge reason why I love the new rules, on a whole.
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
More of the same.
Big Markets drive larger cars with a bigger cushion for mistakes, the only thing that kills them is poor management and the dollars involved allow a quicker rise from being dead.
First it was quality parks in a metro area that was not stagnant, then radio contracts, then moving to larger markets and then TV contracts, then free agency, then superstations now decade long contracts with huge payoffs not spread thin payoffs.
It's been and always will be a harder hill to climb for the teams in the smaller markets.
Not fair, but a reality in this games makeup and certainly nothing new.
Really good thread and this hits at my sweet spot...I'm in the media and I love baseball...so yipppeee!
The reds have been operating in the new baseball economy and the other "small market" teams that are still on their heals are going to be the ones dusted in this.
Someone mentioned the new media deal is why the Reds signed Votto to the deal they did and that is EXACTLY right, getting Votto for tha amount will seem like chump change...BP deal is the same way and DO NOT be surprised if the Reds SPEND on Broxton, Madson a corner OF like Swisher and/or a 3B like Wright...I am not kidding...with the money that is coming in from media they are going to lock up STARS for 5-10 years with contracts that are in the 12-20 million dollar range annually and they will be ahead of the pack (at first).
The economy of baseball changed with the Padres and Cubs being sold...not the Dodgers...things are about to get really fun.
We are about to see some MAJOR shifts in the game and the players (not on the field but who is involved in the business of baseball) that are making things happen...All this said...when the Reds do their new deal I would bet that it isn't for a penny LESS thank $3billiion...not kidding...the farm is in pretty good shape, they have invested in real talent at the big league level and have had some recent success that says they like it and will continue to grow their fanbase again...teams like the dbacks, indians, royals, marlins, mariners, astros who haven't been part of the divisional conversations for a while are the ones who will have the most ground to make up...to score a "big deal" or what is considered a big deal now.
I would say that the league actually may contract a few of these teams OR move them to other countries in Europe, Asia or more specifically China..I could see a day when the Japanese baseball league and MLB become affiliated to the point that it becomes another AL and NL setup...the teams in that/those leagues will be able to play in the WS...there will be regular season games in Japan and other countries and so on...I could even see a team in the Middle east, obviously south Ameerica, China...Cal Ripken has been working with the Chinese for several years to learn baseball....so this is just the tip of the iceberg for this sport and the league and the money that is about to come into it!
I know I went off track (a little) but the reason the media deals are so big is because the media dollars are about to go through the roof because of international dollars being spent, not just national dollars.
"Sometimes, it's not the sexiest moves that put you over the top," Krivsky said. "It's a series of transactions that help you get there."
For the most part MLB execs have gotten smarter, almost NFL like. They are signing their good young players to contracts early. Each and every team can afford to spend top dollar on their young talent. Just look at what they Rays did with Longoria, a $20M/season guy now. IMO its fools gold now to chase championships. The Yankees succeeded on time in doing it. Most good teams now are built from within with good young players. The Dodgers will be a case study going forward on how easy it is to "buy" a championship. If they succeed then you may see the Yankees and Red Sox open up their pocket books. If the Dodgers struggle I think you will see most teams operate the way they have over the past 5 years or so.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy -- it was nice while it lasted..

Div. II: 'Business as usual' as Bobcats gird for Portsmouth and Lenehan's finale
When the final whistle sounds Saturday afternoon, it will mark the end of an era unmatched in New England high school football history.
Legendary Plymouth Regional High School coach Chuck Lenahan will lead the Bobcats one final time in 43 years at the helm when No. 1 Plymouth hosts No. 2 Portsmouth at 1 p.m. for the NHIAA Division II championship.
As the finale to the region's most successful high school football coaching career neared its finale, Lenahan this week did what he's always done: deflect the spotlight to his players, especially his senior class.
For Lenahan, 70, the pride and tradition of Plymouth football supercedes any personal accolades.
"It's not about the coaches," he said of the approach he and his staff are taking toward Saturday. "It's business as usual. The championship game — that comes first. It's the seniors' last game, and that matters more than anything."
The players themselves have tried to balance that "business as usual" mantra with the knowledge that it will be Lenahan's last time on the sidelines as he attempts to claim his 20th state championship. "In the back of our minds, we still keep mentioning that it's our last week as seniors, but man, after 43 years, it's his last week, too," said senior quarterback and captain Collin Sullivan. "There has been a sense of urgency to really make this week count and make it memorable, but for the most part, it's been a normal week."
Lenahan's career coaching record heading into the game stands at 355-70-1, the 355 representing the most coaching victories in New England high school football history. In addition to the 19 state championships, the Bobcats have been runner-up 11 times. During his tenure, Plymouth has reeled off winning streaks of 44 and 57 games.
Lenahan was named National High School Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2012, and earlier this year, he was inducted into the National High School Hall of Fame.
He prefers not to discuss any of that, choosing to let his accomplishments speak for themselves. It's been that way pretty much since Lenahan became head coach in 1971.
"He's solid. He doesn't miss practice, he doesn't change a lot," said longtime Lenahan assistant Jim Bownes, who also is stepping down after Saturday's game. "Some of the jokes we have as coaches are, 'Why are we doing it this way? Well, that's because it's the way we did it in 1973.' It's worked."
The Bobcats (10-1) will face a Portsmouth team (10-1) that handed them their only loss of the season, a 27-22 defeat in Plymouth on Oct. 19. Portsmouth has won 10 in a row after losing its opening game to Trinity of Manchester, 58-37.
"Our kids know that any team beating a team twice is a huge accomplishment, and it's going to be even tougher this time, and it definitely wasn't easy the first time," Portsmouth coach Brian Pafford said of the rematch with Plymouth.
From the Clippers' perspective, Saturday is about them and the Bobcats, not about the drama surrounding the opposing head coach.
"I don't see us being the bad guy," Pafford said. "I just see two good football teams trying to play against each other. We're trying to keep (Lenahan's retirment) to the side because this is about two teams. It's a state championship game."
Whether Plymouth wins or loses that game, its next head coach will have huge shoes to fill. Lenahan is leaving, and he's taking with him two assistants who have been at his side for 30 years, Bownes and Tom Donahue.
But Lenahan, who also serves as the school's athletics director, isn't worried about choosing successors. Not at the moment anyway.
"I think I'll leave that alone," he said. 'We've got some good candidates in house, and hopefully we get someone in house and we keep it going. We'll worry about that after Saturday."
For one more game, it's business as usual.

Description: Join a conversation with the members of The Dow-TNC Collaboration on valuing ecosystem services about how corporations and NGOs can integrate the value of forests, watersheds, and biodiversity into business and community decisions. Speakers: Glenn Prickett, Chief External Affairs Officer, The Nature Conservancy Neil Hawkins, Vice President, Global EH&S and Sustainability, the Dow Chemical Company Leslie Carothers, Scholar in Residence, Pace Law School Moderator: William Clark, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School In January 2011, Dow and TNC launched their 5-year collaboration to promote valuing ecosystem services in business decision-making. Since the launch, Dow and TNC have worked together to identify key ecosystem services that Dow relies upon as well as the environmental impacts of priority Dow manufacturing sites around the world. Scientists from TNC and Dow are working together at selected Dow pilot sites to implement and refine models that support corporate decision-making by taking into consideration the value and resources that ecosystem services provide. These sites serve as a "living laboratories" where Dow and TNC are testing methods and models of ecosystem valuation so they can be used to inform more sustainable business decisions at Dow and influence the decision-making and business practices of other companies globally.

Besides yours, I quite enjoy the following myself:ReplyDelete
Google +
Google Drive
Google Maps and Navigation
Google Play Movies and Play Music
Slices for Twitter
Wolfram Alpha

Extensive, but these are the apps I use on a regular basis. :)
Thanks Greg!ReplyDelete
I was trying to limit my list to Android-only apps, but I also left Google apps out of it intentionally because:
1.- They are default in Android, part of the system for the most part.
2.- It is sort of a given that Google apps will be great under Android.
Thanks for your suggestions nevertheless, I will certainly give some of those a try.
Hi Chema,ReplyDelete
First I would like to compliment your reviews and articles, I've been reading a lot of them and find they stand out in quality.
Coming from maemo it took me some time to appreciate android, but I'm an enthousiast now.
I can only agree about Juice Defender and Swiftkey, simply superb.Plume twitter app is one of my favorits too.
The one not to miss imho is LBE privacy guard. With this app you take control of the permissions demanded by apps. There are a lot of apps out there that demand permissions they do not need to function, these can be blocked easily with LBE. Once you install LBE you'll be surprised by what you discover. A firewall, with a per app setting for data and/or wifi connection, is allso integrated.
regards, Teo
Hey TeoReplyDelete
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback, it's much appreciated!
I will definitely give LBE a try, sounds interesting.
Take care

Tibor Signature 5-6 Reel
So I've been fondling the latest entry in the Tibor Signature series here in the office; it's a prototype, and production models won't be available until December. Truth be told, while there are apparently some small items to make perfect before this reel is ready for the public, I was hard pressed to find them.
In any case, this is a freshwater entry in what has been up to now a saltwater line of reels. As a consequence, the Sig 5-6 inherits the beefy sealed-cork drag system and all-around tough design and construction of its bigger cousins. To save weight, the reel is heavily ported, and even the reel foot has material machined out of its center to cut a few grams (Tibor calls this the "reel stand," a moniker I may start using so as to make waves at angling cocktail parties).
This is, frankly, a wonderful little (big) reel. As I opened the box, one of the grumps here said that trout reels are just for holding line. Well, OK. But I'm perfectly happy with a really smooth drag system that will protect light tippets, and the spec on this reel is such that it could easily serve as a light bonefish reel. So there.
And there's a coolness factor, too. The reel comes in several colors, and the drag cylinder itself is available in contrasting tones, so it's visible through the porting in the spool and frame. Kind of like those flashy bright-red Porsche brakes. Come on, you can't tell me you wouldn't like to drive around showing those off.
The 5-6 should be ready to ship for Christmas (hint). Price is $685; spare spools are $350. The three bigger models range from $775 to $865. That's a lot less than a Porsche. www.tiborreel.com —Jim Butler
Cortland Finesse Trout Lines
In the current battle among linemakers, between rough finish and smooth, Cortland comes down on the side of the latter, certainly when it comes to their Finesse trout lines. The line slips through the rod guides with nary a sound.
The taper and coating on the Finesse is designed for fishing at distance to troublesome fish, with multiple currents between you and where the action is. The idea is, the especially fine front taper and tip (Micro-Tip) make for soft deliveries, and the high-floating coating reduces on-the-water drag and improves mending.
That was certainly the case for me. I particularly liked the soft presentations I could make at short, medium and reasonably long ranges. The line comes in a subtle color Cortland calls Heron Blue, in weights 2 through 6 (weight-forward tapers). Retail is $75. www.cortlandline.com. —Jim Butler
Smith Optics ChromaPop Glasses
I'll admit that I don't pay as much attention to my eyeware as I might (despite the fact that I wear corrective lenses). But I should, and so should you. We tend to get obsessive about our other gear, but forget how important good vision is to our angling experience.
What's got me so jazzed up about this is Smith's new ChromaPop lenses, which I first got to look through early this past summer. But first, some science: All visible light is made up of three colors that we can recognize (blue, red and green; they combine to create other visible colors). Straightforward enough. Those color wavelengths cross over each other and, as Smith's Peter Crow explained to me, our eyes get confused at those crossover points, and struggle to distinguish color. ChromaPop lenses actually filter out the light at those crossovers, allowing our brains to identify colors more accurately, and more quickly.
Simply put, color saturation when you're wearing a pair of these lenses is quite remarkable, and clarity is pretty terrific, too (something I noticed even though I had to take off my prescription lenses to put the ChromaPops on). I tried these glasses in what amounts to a laboratory environment (a big exhibit hall, that is); can't wait to see what they're like in the field.
There are other features, of course. Smith says the lenses are 10% lighter than their polycarbonate lenses and 15% lighter than their CR-39 models (I wasn't carrying a grain scale with me, so all I can say is that they were damn comfortable). The polarization is film-free, so no glue; this also helps with clarity. The lenses are photochromic, so they adjust to variations in light. And a hydroleophobic coating repels water and gunk. From $209 to $269. www.smithoptics.com —Jim Butler
Scientific Anglers Chard Grand Slam Saltwater Line
One of a flats angler's greatest assets is the ability to consistently make the first cast count. Often, we don't get a second chance. You can up your odds of first-cast success by throwing Capt. Bruce Chard's Grand Slam Mastery Series textured fly line.
Front Taper: Chard designed the line to combat one of the great saltwater challenges—having enough power left over in the casting system to lay out a long leader (straight) with a heavy fly. To help anglers accomplish this, the Grand Slam sports an extra-short front taper. The aggressive front taper dramatically increases the efficiency of energy transferred into the leader system, and makes casting into the wind much more manageable.
Belly: Because many saltwater fly rods are fast-action broomsticks, anglers have trouble loading the rod effectively for short casts, which occur often on the flats when a ghostly bone or a clever permit sneaks into range, unnoticed until the last moment. The Grand Slam belly is slightly overweighted, to load a rod quickly and cut down on false casts. Both are very important when a quick or short presentation is required.
Rear Taper: The Grand Slam's longer rear taper provides a smoother transfer of energy into the belly of the fly line during longer presentations. It makes it easier to pick large amounts of fly line off the water. And it allows anglers to carry more fly line in the air, for the longest of shots.
I recently fished the Grand Slam in the Bahamas and in the Florida Keys, and it's without a doubt the best saltwater floating fly line I've ever used. Chard's innovative "signature flats taper" combined with the SA Advanced Shooting Technology (AST) is, in my opinion, the benchmark for saltwater fly-line design. It was named the Best Saltwater Fly Line at the 2013 ICAST/IFTD trade show. Cost: $85. www.brucechard.com or www.scientificanglers.com —Kent Klewein
Winston GVX
A couple years ago I was in a Montana fly shop with my brother-in-law, Pat, who's one of the finest fly casters I've ever met. He grabbed a $750 rod off the rack, gave it a wiggle and then put it back down. When I asked for his thoughts, he shook his head and said, "I prefer a rod that bends."
If your favorite trout rod also doubles as your emergency wading staff, then the new Winston 9′ 5-weight GVX Select probably isn't your cup of tea. Long story short: It bends. But if you're looking for a superb fishing and casting tool, and if you're partial to tight, effortless loops, this particular Winston, in my opinion, is as good as it gets.
The GVX Select is the all-graphite version of its acclaimed sibling, the BIIIx. For $250 less than its boron brother, you'll find stellar cosmetics and the same perfect fit and finish you'd expect from any top-of-the-line Winston. More important, though, the GVX handles nymphs and small- to medium-size streamers with ease, and throws an absolutely gorgeous dryfly line from 20 feet out to 70 and more. The GVX isn't as stiff as a super-fast fly rod—or, for that matter, your average pool cue. But if there's a better value in high-performance fly rods, I've yet to run across it. Cost: $495. www.winstonrods.com —Todd Tanner
Umpqua's Deadline Pack
Bags are bags. They are fabric enclosing a void where you can put stuff. There isn't much that is "new" or "innovative" in bags. At least, there hasn't been recently.
This year Umpqua released a new line of bags intended to challenge that assumption. They teamed up with designers from other outdoor industries to bring unique ideas to fishing-gear transportation. Their Deadline pack succeeds with innovation that is not merely impressive, but actually useful.
The Deadline is not just another backpack with a fishing company label on it; it really is a new kind of backpack designed for fishing. The zippers are on the back of the pack (where it rests against your body). The rest of the bag is made of zipperless, heavy duty, waterproof, rubberized material. So when you finally finish hiking up to that pool you've been dreaming about with every creeping step, you can drop your gear in the mud (or the water) without any worry.
The Deadline does not have assorted specialty pockets designed for specific tools. The engineers at Umpqua must have figured that you could decide how to use your carrying capacity yourself, something I appreciate. Instead, there is massive internal storage with two separate access points, one for wet gear, and one for dry gear. Though these two accesses share the same space, there is an adjustable waterproof membrane that prevents the wet from sullying the dry.
I have used this bag for serious day trips when I was hiking many miles into the backcountry. I have also used it as a carry-on for travel. It performed equally well in both circumstances. Cost: $159. www.umpqua.com —Miles Nolte
Hardy Zenith Rod
I don't really have to know how or why the agave plant gives tequila the ability to put me in a happy place. I just buy the bottle and roll. In the same vein, I don't feel compelled to research Hardy's Sintrix material and nano technology because, frankly, I'm not a materials engineer and trying to understand that stuff makes my head hurt. In addition, I already know what I need to know: Sintrix throws a damn fine line.
I learned that by packing a 9′ 8-weight Hardy Zenith to the Yukon Territory this summer, where I hunted northern pike and lake trout for up to 18 hours a day for seven straight days. To balance the rod I spooled an Orvis Hydros Bass line to a Mirage reel; I needed that compact head and short front taper to turn over a wire leader and the big streamers we threw for pike. I found the Zenith a little softer flex than what I'm used to in an 8-weight but, still, I had no trouble turning over those flies at the end of 70-foot casts. And when fighting 40-inch pike, the rod had all the power I needed to turn their heads and keep them out of the weeds.
This rod really shined when we switched from throwing long casts for northerns to sight-fishing with scuds and chironomids for cruising lake trout that ranged to 10 pounds. This fishing demanded spot-on presentations at 20 to 40 feet, and the Zenith took on that task brilliantly. I've found most 7- and 8-weight rods to be very good at throwing heavy flies for distance, but nearly disastrous when subtle, up-close casts are required. Few do both, but the Zenith did. There's a very fine line that separates good rods from great rods these days, but I'd put the Zenith in the latter category. It's a beautiful stick, it has a great feel, it tames strong fish and, most important, it's extremely versatile. $679. www.hardyfishing.com —Jeff Wogoman
Solo Skiff
Single-person flats fishing has long been the purview of kayak anglers. But kayaks present many problems: limited range; limited stealth; and difficulty in standing and fishing. In response to these limitations, many anglers have gotten involved in the burgeoning "microskiff" movement, often with heavily modified light canoe craft such as the Gheenoe. Tom Mitzlaff, founder and former owner of Mitzi Skiffs, brought his fiberglass boat-building expertise to bear and created something remarkable: the SoloSkiff.
At about 14 feet long, the boat is the size of a kayak, but it is fitted with a 4.5hp outboard motor, giving it a much wider range. The layout is pure genius: Because the angler is also the poler, his standing platform is more or less centered in the craft (front to back). This is ideal for control with both the pole and the motor, as the boat does not pirouette. With a draft of only one inch empty and three inches with a grown angler, this is as skinny a skiff as any kayak. While the natural habitat of the SoloSkiff is the Everglades or the near-shore marshes of Louisiana or the Florida coast, it would also be just the rig for inland carp or even striped bass fishing in still water. The hull costs $2,650—approximately half the cost of a modified Custom Gheenoe. The motor, which has its own fuel reservoir, is another $1,200 (again, less than half the cost of power on a similar microskiff).
While certainly a special craft for a special purpose, this is the kind of high-end, focused innovation that opens whole new fisheries to fly-fishing. Check it out at www.soloskiff.com —Zach Matthews
Mountain Khakis Granite Creek Shorts
If you wet wade in the summer as much as I do, there's probably a long list of things that annoy you about your trunks. Fishing shorts basically come in two versions: swim trunks, with no pockets, irritating mesh liners and a drawstring; or hiking-style cargo shorts. The problem with the pockets on a standard pair of cargo shorts is that they can fill with water at inopportune times, and they're often like a blouse in cut. The metal grommet holes some companies employ as drains don't release water fast enough to avoid the "sea anchor" effect while swimming, which can be downright dangerous.
Mountain Khakis—best known for their Carhartt-style rugged-wearing pants—recently introduced a line of quick-drying, durable fishing shorts called the Granite Creek series ($63). They did everything right: reinforced waist with a heavy-duty front button (so you don't need drawstrings); gusseted crotch for comfort while seated in a wet boat; interior pockets with hidden quick-draining mesh bottoms; and a very attractive cut so you can walk into a restaurant after a day on the water without feeling like a tourist. The material is significantly sturdier than standard hiking shorts, but dries just as fast. The shorts are available in both 9″ and 11″ inseams—with odd-number waist sizes to boot—for optimal fit. Available online at www.mountainkhakis.com —Zach Matthews
Redington Vapen Rod
One glance at Redington's new Vapen rod is enough to tell you there's something different about it. The surface of the shaft has a spiral appearance that owes to the new X-Wrap construction, in which a carbon ribbon is wrapped on the inside of the blank and another counter-wrapped on the outside. The result, according to Redington, is longer, more powerful casts and tighter loops. The result, according to me, is a real rifle. I fished a 9-foot 5-weight that drilled big, bushy flies into the wind with surprising efficiency and refused to fold even under a full-sinking line. The polymer grip (plain cork is also available) provides a textured non-slip surface with a cushiony feel—not a particular advantage in my eyes, but not a liability either. This is a rod for anglers who prefer a quick casting tempo and the feel of line firing off the tip of the rod. It comes in line sizes 3 through 12 and runs $299.99 to $349.99. It won the Best Saltwater Rod category at the 2013 ICAST/IFTD trade show. www.redington.com —Ted Leeson
Scott Radian Rods
I'll admit to being a bit of a tip caster (in part because, let's face it, there's a lot of fast, fast rods out there; the tools trained the angler). While I appreciate cannons that can throw gobs of line, being able to detect what's going on beyond the rod tip has advantages. The new Scott Radians are an attempt to provide both power and touch; simply put, they're right on target. I spent the most time with the 9-foot 4-weight, and it's a winner.
That's a medium to light trout rod in my book, and generally I'm not looking for monster power; no need to cast the entire fly line. But I do want authority for bucking wind, accuracy (all the time), and the punch to turn over long leaders when I'm casting over fussy, pressured fish.
Affirmative on all counts. The rod produced tight loops (anything otherwise was the caster's fault), extended a 12-foot leader with little effort, and put the fly right where I wanted it as long as I did my part. Long casts were a matter of adding a little speed to my stroke. And the sensitivity in the tip is perfect for protecting light tippets. An outstanding rod that's a true joy to cast.
Radian blanks are relatively fat, with thin walls (what Scott calls their X-Core technology), producing at once light weight and stiffness. ReAct is Scott's term for the combination of X-Core with new materials and tapers; among other things, this results in quick damping of tip vibrations. That has all kinds of benefits in our casting, not least of which is accuracy.
As a result—no surprise—the rods were named Best in Show at the 2013 ICAST/IFTD Show. There are 16 models (all 4-piece), in lengths from 8'6″ to 10′, line weights 4 to 8. Price is $795. www.scottflyrod.com. —Jim Butler
Simms Vapor Boots
Nineteen-eighty-seven. Right side of the lane, planting on my left foot. I was going to throw it down on some syrupy-slow center. Ok, I'm 6′ tall and white. I was going high to lay it in. That's not the point. This is: My foot rolled off the top of his laces and my ankle dislocated. Tore everything off the outside of it. Later, the doctor took an X-ray of the good ankle. It moved two degrees. The bum wheel? It twisted 33 degrees. Said it was the worst injury of its kind he'd ever seen, and he works with three professional sports teams. Pain and rehab I do not want to go through again.
Which is why I had to grab a pair of Simms' new Vapor wading boots when I saw them displayed at the ICAST/IFTD show in Las Vegas in July. They are touted as the lightest wading boot SIMMS has ever made, at 25.1 ounces per boot, and you'll know this as true when you hold one. What I find to be amazing is the support they provide at such a light weight. They are super solid at the heel cup, they have molded rubber running along the sides of the boot, and they have synthetic leather working from the heel to the top of the laces, which offers additional support for the ankle. They utilize Simms' new VaporTread technology, which is an aggressive tread that's great for the trail and can be supplemented for wading with screw-in aluminum studs. It's also part of the reason this boot is so light—Rich Hohne, Simms' PR Manager, says the VaporTread's molded retention plate is minimized compared to the company's StreamTread soles, which are made out of a heavier die-cut, full-retention plate.
I'm a guy who likes to hike to my fish, meaning a few miles up a trail and then however far off-trail to reach the river. Cliffs, rockslides, leaping tall, fallen trees in a single bound . . . . But, if I screw this left ankle up in the backcountry, it's suddenly not about fish and it's all about Search & Rescue. So I took the Vapor out two times this summer, both times off-trail for untouched cutthroats, and I found these boots to perform like the best mix I've seen so far of a great hiking boot and a great wading boot. And when I was tromping around in these, I was mostly fearless, concentrating on the hike and the fish, rather than where my left foot was planting each time. That's the greatest endorsement I can give to a super-cool-looking and super-strong lightweight boot. Available in December. $169.95 Check them out at www.simmsfishing.com —Greg Thomas
Patagonia Stealth Sling Pack
I didn't think I could wear a slingpack. In fact, when a friend wore his I called it his "purse." But then Patagonia sent one to me for trial. It sat around the house for a few months and then a trip to the Bahamas arrived. I knew I'd only need a few tippet spools, a box of flies and some pliers. So I decided to load it up, instead of my traditional backpack or fannypack, and go for it. And I quickly became a convert—Patagonia's Stealth Sling was comfortable to wear, it kept my gear out of the water when I had to wade across little channels and creeks, and it made getting at those flies and tippet spools a breeze.
These packs aren't for everyone. Essentially, this is a minimalist pack and you couldn't take five boxes of trout flies, your 35mm camera body and a couple of cold ones for the end of the day. But out on the flats this sling, which is built of 840-denier 100% ballistic nylon, held enough gear for the day and it stayed out of my way. The Stealth has eight utility pockets and a drop-down molded front panel with an interior fly keeper. There are slips for leaders and tippet material, too. I couldn't wear this in all circumstances, but on the flats it was great. $89. Visit www.pataonia.com —Greg Thomas
Orvis Encounter Outfit
This is wrong. What is Orvis thinking?
I just finished playing with the new 9′ 5-weight Encounter outfit, and it seems much more than I should expect for the price (of which more later). As good as Orvis's other rods are, I'd be a little worried about these replacing some higher-price sales.
This is a truly fine trout rod, paired with a molded-composite large-arbor Encounter reel and a weight-forward line. Casting is fluid and crisp, with plenty of oomph for working in a stiff breeze. Pushing the rod, I can feel the blank flex down into the grip, but at this price one doesn't get a super-high-Modulus material. That's not a bad thing. Casting this rod might encourage you to cut your coffee intake by a cup or two, and let the rod do the work on the water.
There's no denying it: I've cast rods with price tags three times that of this entire outfit that didn't perform as well. Cosmetics are understated, and fit and finish are beyond reproach. The rod lets the casting do the talking.
There are four models (all 4-piece), from an 8'6″ 5-weight to a 9′ 8-weight. My only suggestion for improvement? After you've fished yours for a while, upgrade the fly line for a noticeable difference. Price is $159 (retail for the reel alone is $49). www.orvis.com. —Jim Butler
Abel Limited Edition Grateful Dead Reels
My first brush with the Grateful Dead came on a fishing trip in 1980, at Grand Lake Stream, Maine, when a high school buddy punched in an 8-track of "Reckoning," the band's acoustic recording from Radio City Music Hall. The music was softer than I expected given the band's name and heavy metalish iconography, and seemed melodic if not exactly riveting.
College changed that.
By my junior year, three years later, I'd logged more 20 shows and had a Europe '72 poster on my dorm room wall. Many more concerts would follow once I moved to San Francisco; and when I picked up the guitar, I made a beeline for the Grateful Dead songbook.
So it's little surprise that I was intrigued when Abel released its limited edition (250 units) "Steal Your Face" reel, available on its Super Series and Classic Series models. I imagine there were impassioned discussions when it came time to decide on which Dead artwork to incorporate—the Aiko Aiko bear and the Skull-and-Roses designs must have been contenders—but the circular Steal Your Face mark fits nicely on the reel, and the quality of the finish is exceptional. Oh yes—and the drag on the 7/8N on my desk doesn't seem bad either!
As of press time, I haven't had a chance to put it to work. Though you can be sure that it will be tested against some Deschutes stealhead soon. From $750. Visit www.abelreels.com for details. —Chris Santella
Rio Perception Fly Line
The Perception Line from Rio garnered top honors as Best New Fly Line at both this year's European Fishing Tackle Trade Exhibition and the International Fly Tackle Dealer Show. Casting one, it's not hard to see why. At the heart of the matter, literally, is an ultra-low-stretch core that minimizes energy-robbing line elongation so that more of your casting power reaches the fly. Where you really notice it is on long pickups and mends that don't have that sloppy, sluggish feel; the line responds almost instantaneously to the rod movement. Line stretch also diminishes sensitivity—think strike detection in subsurface stillwater fishing. The Perception line more reliably transmits subtle tugs, taps and nips and—maybe best of all—promotes quick hooksets, particularly at longer distances; a lift of the rod moves the fly immediately. The line is designed with a versatile, all-around taper and is available in WF3F to WF8F for $89.95. www.rioproducts.com —Ted Leeson
Ex Officio JavaTech Shirt
First an admission: I've been riding a mountain bike as often as fishing this summer, only occasionally mixing the two endeavors to reach untouched trout in the northern Rockies. While riding that bike I've learned that Ex Officio's JavaTech ¼-zip longsleeve shirt is a multitalented piece of gear. On the bike it breathes well during uphill grinds; on the downslope it keeps me warm and its snug fit keeps bugs out. On the water it performs great as a baselayer; on cool summer and fall mornings and evenings, it works as a comfortable outerlayer.
The reason it works so well in a variety of conditions is due to the way it's made—Ex Officio's S Cafe technology embeds processed coffee grounds in the fabric for superior performance. The grounds give fibers increased surface area to pull perspiration away from the skin. These particles also trap odor molecules so the shirt stays fresh, a bonus when you don't want to change from what you wore on the water to what you wear to dinner. You can't find a more comfortable shirt, and it carries 15+UPF to protect you from the sun. $65. See www.exofficio.com —Greg Thomas
Cabela's American Dream Rod
Cabela's American Dream was born from a single question: What would be your ideal fly rod? Cabela's listened to the feedback and it became clear that anglers wanted a combination of power and finesse, a rod that could huck big bugs a long way, yet bend enough to protect light tippets when setting up on and fighting large fish. That's how the American Dream came to be.
I got one of these rods this summer and put it to the test on a few of Montana's best under-the-radar cutthroat streams. I threw the 9' 5-weight 4-piece and outfitted it with Cabela's Rapid Landing System (RLS) reel, which is a definite improvement over past RLS models. It's light, retrieves line quickly on its large-arbor spool, and even on the smallest model the drag could stop a 12-pound bull trout.
Back to the rod. I threw a variety of bugs with the American Dream and never had trouble reaching fish, whether casting an indicator, a couple split-shot and a #8 Serendipity (oh yeah, cutts eat that during summer), or bushy caddis imitations along brushy banks. Is this a rod for the Railroad Ranch and Silver Creek, where tankers eat size 20 Tricos and pop 6X tippets with a single sip? Probably not. To me the American Dream is a little stiff for the super lightweight work. Is it ideal for freestones and many tailwaters? Heck, yeah. Basically, this is a great all-around rod that would serve well in most situations, and at a selling point under $300, it's a steal. Available in 3- through 8-weights. Made in the United States. Available this fall. www.cabelas.com —Greg Thomas
Fishpond Nomad Nets
In an industry replete with high-technology innovations—industrial-strength, aerospace-grade metals and fibers—one piece of gear has been oft ignored: the net. That world was once the domain of woodshop handicrafters, but Kevin Best entered the space with his Nomad nets and took it by storm.
Designed specifically with durability in mind, Nomad nets are crafted from a carbon fiber and fiberglass composite that is nearly impossible to damage, and is also extremely lightweight and positively buoyant. Your author was skeptical of Mr. Best's claims, and took one of his nets for a two-month test drive before it even came to market. The result: Despite stomping on it, jamming it into rocky river bottoms, using it as a walking stick and scooping up plenty of fish, I couldn't damage it.
Nomad nets come in five configurations, with two basket size choices. Lengths range from 26 inches for the Hand Net to 55 inches for the full-length Boat Net, with weights of 12.5 ounces and 26.3 ounces, respectively. The Hand Net, Mid-Length Net and Guide Net have baskets that are 13 inches wide by 18 inches long. The Mid-Length Boat and Full-Length Boat models' baskets measure 16 inches by 24.75 inches.
All the nets come with Nomad's trademark olive RiverKoat finish, a rubberized paint that significantly enhances the grip when wet, a rubber basket (black or clear), and carbon-weave accents. Additionally, new models will soon be introduced with either a blue-base "Riffle" camouflage or a brown/spotted "Tailwater" rubber finish. Priced from $115.95 to $239.95. www.fishpond.com. —Michael Gracie

Developers head back to drawing board for Frisco Whole Foods design
October 19, 2012
The design concept of the proposed Whole Foods Market was met with criticism from the Frisco Planning Commission during Thursday's meeting.
"This is just my own bias and the way the design hit me when I saw it," said Bob Bloch, Frisco planning commissioner. "It just reminds me of a string of cheap motels."
The multi-building retail center will be anchored by a Whole Foods Market and offer space to potential businesses.
The proposal consists of five buildings configured around a shared parking lot. Whole Foods would be accompanied by other retail outlets, possible office spaces and buildings with studio-size space intended for yoga, pilates or dance companies.
The total area of the five buildings proposed, including the Whole Foods Market, in-line and outdoor retail space, a wellness building and gateway building, make up some 105,000 square feet including a 15,000-square-foot area for future expansion.
David O'Neil, the applicant proposing the Whole Foods Market and shopping center, last met with the planning commission July 8 to present the primary sketch plan, which also met with some criticism from the commission.
The development project's proposed location is Lot 2A at the Summit Stage Transit Center Subdivision on 120 Lusher Ct. near Safeway. The building would be visible from Interstate 70 and Highway 6.
Feedback from commissioners included considering a more traditional mountain town architecture with peaked roof tops.
"I'm not sure if this is a timeless design. It looks good now but I'm not sure it will still look very good in 10 to 15 years," said Melissa Sherburne, planning commissioner. "I miss the barn design from the primary sketch; I thought that was a little more classic."
During citizen comments, Frisco resident Tom Castrigno said he too was not a fan of the design.
"The flat roofs are not a good idea," he said. "We are a mountain town, let's go with timeless mountain architecture and peak roof tops. Steep peaks really give a sense of place and the flat roofs will not be compatible with the character of our town or be able to support all of the snow that could gather there."
O'Neil, on behalf of Brynn Grey X, LLC and the Whole Foods proposal, will return before the planning commission at a later date with the final design. No final decisions were made or prompted by the planning commission, but feedback on the design was given.
"There are certainly risks associated with this design, but we're working to make it fit into the character of the town while being timeless and aesthetically pleasing," O'Neil said. "This design certainly needs to be well executed in the details."
The planning commission will schedule a final design plan hearing with O'Neil for the shopping center proposal at a later date.
"We are close now to a development application," O'Neil said. "We have to nail down the details on the design but we are eager to move forward and bring what we think will be a major asset to Frisco."

Hey all; need advise for stripping rare Corvette rims to save date code area. Found rims for a project car and need to repaint. What is best way to get paint removed? And, after rims are stripped, what prep is required so rims can be painted at a paint shop to restore as originally offered by GM. And, will any body shop know what to do, or should I find a restoration shop in the area? Thanks to all in advance.
You can try soda blasting them. If the rust and paint isn't too bad. If not maybe a low pressure sand blasting. Then powder coat them...Hope this helps. I wouldn't recommend doing to strip them yourself. A job like that yourself. The amount of time and material isn't worth it. But thats my opinion....Okay. Good luck on your project...Bob
MintstickGo to the CHP forum. There are a lot more guys that use it for Chevy Info. We have a great guy Matt (IDRIVEJUNK) thats a GURU paint and body man. You have to see his latest project! He may have another way to strip those rims. www.highperformancechevy.comBob
Hey guys.Bob, I've actually been on this forum longer than any of the others I visit, but CHP (chevyhiperformance) is much more popular and active. I pass thru here just as often, but y'all can find me either of those places and more.Mintstick I think Bob has the right idea, soda blasting. Its very gentle, should not hurt any faint number stamps. You can always try lacquer thinner and a scotch brite pad, in case a less agressive method works. Blasting would be most thorough and worth it labor-wise, I think. Painting them is just like any other exterior surface ... primer, basecoat color, clear.If these wheels need to be concours (exactly as original equipment) in color and gloss, you'll need to find that OE type paint from a vendor specializing in that sort of thing, such as possibly Eastwood. If you let a paint shop use their normal refinish paints you'll get a deeper color and a higher gloss, not to mention outstanding durability. But they will look like they have been repainted. Single component paints that are sold "ready to spray" or in aerosol cans simply can't be as durable, but they may look more authentic. Really, theres several ways to approach painting wheels like that, so if you have a painter in mind it would be best to get his opinion rather than ask him to do it the way I think you oughtta!
Thanks for replies; good info. I'll check with a couple of local restoration shops for quotes and go from there. Thanks again!!
Matt: I can see that now by your posts. I just didn't want anyone to loose out on your expertise. I really mean that. I know when those parts get at levels of restoration a shade off a color could be a problem.ThanksBob
Thanks and you're welcome, y'all. I'll chime in on just about anything body or paint oriented. Trouble with the concours stuff is you never know whats "right" until you're already at the show being judged! At least I don't. I just like the shiny things mintstick- good luckIf you find a solution that works perfectly come back and post it for reference in case someone searches for rim resto.

Fashion Week El Paseo gets underway
PALM DESERT, Calif. - The eighth annual Fashion Week El Paseo, a nine-day run of fashion shows and social events, gets under way Friday in Palm Desert.
The week will start with a "Best of Saks Fifth Avenue" runway show at 8 p.m. to benefit The Living Desert zoo.
Organizers expect 14,000 people to attend Fashion Week, which is billed as the largest consumer fashion event on the West Coast. Nine runway shows and four trunk shows by more than 50 designers, including "Project Runway" contestants and designers from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles, are planned.
"Fashion Week El Paseo presents a cross-section of all categories of the best of the west and creates a week that entertains and educates, while premiering the latest fashion from high-caliber designers," said Susan Stein, fashion editor of Palm Springs Life magazine, organizer of Fashion Week.
