redid the wheels. no more bronze even though i loved then, i wanted a change. cross-drilled rotors and new pads, wheel bearings. changed the door panels out to black, painted interior trim, pillars in suede, and a couple other bits of black trim. still a ways off from having the interior finished as i'm wrapping all the parts and dying everything myself. no free time with finishing school right now. brakes will be cleaned up and painted this week.

pictures for views.

Needs a good suspension drop to pull off the blacked out wheels, then it would look pretty sick.

they are powdercoated gloss black and then i had a coat or metallic clear powdered on top of that. 2 layers deep.

i got bored today and put on the SS brakes lines, painted the calipers, DSSR shift rod and Super Blue brake fluid flush. more suede parts to come this week.

i know most people wouldn't care for them on here, and that's fine with me. it's a quick change of appearance for a show coming up here soon, so i thought i'd be a little different. i might be getting another set of wheels soon with a little bit of body work to make them fit properly. but that's a couple of months out till i can get the time to cut the fenders up properly and weld everything back into shape.
