The chromed wheels had a lighter coating on the centers, so hit them with Alclad chrome to even them out and got the tires sanded out ..a 7/16" socket fits perfectly Now, on to that crazy front end cage..my goal is to get all suspension dry fitted to check the stance. More to come..Qs, Cs, and Cs always welcome...encouraged really. -

Ok...so went ahead and gave it 2 light coats of Duplicolor sandable black primer,..waited 45 min and started laying down the Duplicolor Victory red, warmed in hot water. 2 light coats, 2 medium...Think we got a winner...the black took just enough brightness out of it. Happy Later -
