Anyone know of a place in Iowa that does a GOOD job at powder coating? Looking at maybe changing the wheel color on my car a bit, want to get some quotes from some reputable facilities...

Depending on the color i have DeJong Manufacturing in New Sharon do all my stuff. I've had them do all kinds of stuff, frames, headers, wheels, roll bar
I hear there is a place in Hedrick thats good but not sure of the name.

Thanks guys.
The wheels are aluminum which I believe can be done, but I do not want to weaken the wheel any with the wrong heat treatment.
Pry going on hold. Developed an oil leak and noticed it the other day... Looks to be coming from the timing plate cover, either the crank seal there or between that and the oil pan... Got some work to do now, wont be play time until I figured this out, lol

My car's also in hibernation. I'm hoping to replace the exhaust this winter (have to pay for school first) Then I'd like to start working on my '79 Trans Am again... Maybe...

guys, if anyone is looking I have an FTI 4200 converter for LS1 to TH350/TH400, and a 3.5 PST aluminum driveshaft for an S60. I also have a brand new, never been bolted on set of Edelbrock stepped headers. 1 3/4 to 1 7/8. And a used Magnaflow catback exhaust. Open to offers on any of it.

I dont have any at the moment, but could get you some. It looks like a magnaflow catback. Only issue with it, is there is a dent in the bottom of the muffler from setting the car down after it was lowered, and it hit the handle on my jack. I can get some pictures if you would like. Would make someone a nice deal on the headers/magnaflow together. All you would have to get is a y pipe.
Everything else is sold do far. (converter, driveshaft, rear)
