Default new pics http://groups.msn.com/corvetteman92/shoebox.msnw?Page=2

oks guys i got this idea from a fellow forum member, id like to take that time now to thank him for the great idea of removing the rear end suspension for a nice clean up. but me im goin a lil further with it, im gion to clean my axle shafts and all and polish them till they look like chrome, the whole rear end will look like this when i finished, also im goin to clean the whole underbody of my car and then spray it with some underbody spray. i thought about using a truck bed liner spray , it would add some strength to the fiber glass but i doubt i will go that route here are a few pics off my project,thses are the beginning i will post finished pics when im thru with part of the project thanks for your interest guys !!! dax :cool: check it out plzzz!! http://<a href="http://groups.msn.co...snw?Page=2</a>

:iagree: You may also what to give the polished pieces some protection from the elements. May I suggest ZoopSeal? Best price I found so far is $119 at http://www.yearwood.com/Accessorieshtm/ZOP9550.asp
