Ralph Torres Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I had to redo my rear suspension because i cut my other axel a bit to short. So this time i staggered the coil overs like their suppose to be. I added Brembo brakes and made brakets for them.. the whole suspension is pretty much a bolt on. I will be taking it apart for paint.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Torres Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Let there be paint.. i used automotive paints for the chassis. Gloss on the frame parts and semi gloss on the main base. I added brake and fuel lines but i need to do the exhaust so its just mocked up..Alcald was used on the gas tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
