Stem - from green to BLING !
« on: April 04, 2007, 08:29 PM »
Until I can find an original silver redline forklifter stem I decided to get a nos green knockoff stem for the time being and strip and polish it. I've posted before and after pics below. Warning though, better get out the sunglasses.  The bling might be too much for some....lol  :coolsmiley:

Not bad from green to mean.....and and done by yours truly.  Let me know what you guys think.

Stem as I bought it:

Nice job there !
More bling than the original finish but looks good on your build  :4_17_5:
Was doing the same thing tonight, getting an old white Forlifter silver.
I try to get the "satin" finish on it.
Redline sticker available @ vert-ego, it doesn't look as good as the painted logo but eh!

Thanks guys.  My project is almost done.  All I have left is to lace up the z rims throw on the chain and it's all done.  Gonna get the wheels done this weekend (blue ACS z hubs with white spokes and blue anodized nipples all tied to nos mike buff z rims).

Here is pics of the build near completion:
