Default Another One Done! pics inside!
i tried to match my rearend theme job i did last spring to my front end project this spring. the suspension i upgraded w/VB Aarms and monspring and while i was at it i redid the engine bay. i blasted all the parts and por-15'd em and topcoated em and took the frame to bare metal and por-15'd and topcoated and repainted the engine w/por-15 eng paint. lots of taping off things. while i was at it i sent my headers to jethot and had them recoated in the sterling finish. heres some pics. more extensive pics in homepage.
