Just a few images to show the start of things to come. So far a lot of help from big perm's chop shop now for me to start detailing and tweaking.     And yes running this low did kill my first sump within 1 week. Bloody agreate trucks and rocks. |

If someone described that to me, I'd have thought that it wouldn't work - BUT IT LOOKS GREAT!  |

Rubbish, the pair of them. How d'you do that red striping? I can never get my edges that good... I do it by leaving long "tails" on the striping tape, don't over lap them too steeply (if that makes sense) overlap them at a shallow angle, then cut along the tape to creat the tip, this gives u nice long tips to scallops etc thats how I do them anyway *forgot to add, the car looks quality, love it alot, I'm even gonna look em up on autotrader.* |
