Default New paint job...
We just went and checked out the progress on my buddy's car. It should be sick when it's all finished and together. It's got the whole black/blue thing going, so the wheelie bars and chute mount got powder-coated gloss-black as well. Plus Alumastars and 10.5W's...


















And before the exterior paint:

Yeah as soon as it's back(tomorrow afternoon hopefully) it'll start going right back together. Then we'll have to mock it up with the bars, chute, and wheels just for the full effect.

The rear still has to be narrowed before they came be bolted on...But it won't stop us from setting them under it and lowering the car on them. The money shot will be with the black wheelie bars and chute mount on it.

AND he still needs to order the S.O.S wing.

Mystic Auto right off Rt. 30 and I-80. They do some badass ****. Choppers, crotch rockets, range rovers, audis, benz', etc. Alot of high-end custom paint work.

It was pretty straight to begin with...but they did fix alot of imperfections...Little dings and such.

They did do great work straightening out the rear wheel well lips...They were clearanced for a 28" tire via Big Hammer 2 years ago.
