gdizzle Posted April 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2011 From 72 on these had the short shifter and Greg's is a 74. I think he mentioned he was going to run an M40, though I don't know why he wouldn't want the overdrive for family cruzin'. Because I got a deal I couldn't refuse on an M40.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exexpat Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Favorite part of the entire car for me is the Gotti font on those center caps. That makes the entire build worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmay850 Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 What product(s) did u use on the wheels? They look amazing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Greg, which adhesive are you using on the wheels ? I might have to do this to a set of Gottis as well in a week. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEU Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I had those same rear on my 245. They were a very good option vs. HDs. With IPDs overload springs they were just a little soft, but so were the HDs. On lighter rear of the 140 coupe should be good choice. I also had there Gas-a-just struts and what a nice combo they made with my R-sport front springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdizzle Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Greg, which adhesive are you using on the wheels ? I might have to do this to a set of Gottis as well in a week. Dow Corning 832. You can get it from mcmaster carr. Favorite part of the entire car for me is the Gotti font on those center caps. That makes the entire build worth it. Agreed! The fact that the wheels came w/ center caps, let alone mint condition center caps is a huge bonus. Apparently Gotti's are hard to find w/ center caps and the caps aint cheap. What product(s) did u use on the wheels? They look amazing!! I used white rouge on the buffing motor, and then I used polishing cloths and Blue Magic Metal Polish Cream. It seems to work better than Mothers, for me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
