That's impressive. What color did you plan to finish it in? Those wheels are definitely the right choice for an agressive looking stance. Cant wait to see it all back together.

It currently has 4 coats of catalyzed House of Kolor DTM(direct to metal) primer.Stock was midnight blue...I am going to do House of Kolor dark grey metajuel base and a heavy burple candy build to almost black and 10 or so clear coats, so the haters can't get to kolor if they key it! I have been practicing my air brushing and will do ghost scull SS stripes in pearl that will pop in the sun.

With that many layers you're going to have to be careful about some of the trim fitment? I have BC/CC on mine with 4 coats of CC and that makes the door edge and trunk edge chrome not fit. I'm going to have to sand it down with 2000 or 2500 till it fits. I love the idea of your color.
BTW, nice air brushing on that guitar! The music was just right for that job....

Good call Alan...I had not given that much thought. The trunk trim fits into holes so that should not give me to much trouble, but the rain rail trim is very tight tolerance. I will look at all other fitment prior to proceeding with paint, until then I have a lot of wet sanding to do. Nice thing about Oregon all the rain works to my advantage if I sand outside! And paint will happen next summer.

The drop will loose the space between the tire and wheel well, also I dd not mention the rear will be spring over air to give me adjustability with the ride height. I am not building a low rider by any means, so I will continue to post pics as it progresses.
