Ok got a few more pics and some slow progress......................

Cleaned up the struts


Cleaned up the wheels ready for primer and paint


The motor is out waiting for a good clean up. I may have not needed to pull it but I am glad I did.


You can see the mass amount of oil


Got the tranny of and cleaned it alittle


This really needs some cleaning



And for some unknown reason the t-cable was cut and tied back together I just ordered this.


I also order a new t-bracket

Just waiting for it to come in.

And a nice Eagle cam seal (black)


More to come......................

I see what your saying. I am only worried that if I paint them all black that when they put the tires on they f&% it up.

Then tell them they are worth 1000 dollars and that if they scratch it they can buy you some new ones. lol. Trust me they have ways to not scratch it. My friend worked as a tire shop and if they wanted to they can do a PERFECT job when puting on tires. Just most of the time they just hulk hogan that **** on.

That's a really nice start. The engine and suspension is probably worth more than what you got it for. Love the color too.

There 14" and aluminum. Not the prettiest wheel, not spoon, rota, or any name brand, but when my 1yr old can pick it up with no problem that works for me.

either tell them that they are expensive...or paint the whole wheel except for the face,and after they mount the tire...mask it off and paint the face

I started polishing my t-body, I also round of the lip of the t-body. Then polish the inside for better flow. I'll have pics up as soon as i'm done.

Well did a little something last night that a lot of people seem to think it is point less. I sand down the edges on the t-body to get a more of a rounded edge. The I scotch bright the inside and sand it, then give it a good polish. Here some pics............

Before the sanding.


During sanding.


You can somewhat see were the edges are sanded more to a cup shape with less sharp edge. Air flows better this way.


Then a polish. I think I can get a little more shine out of here, but it was late so this is all ya get.




Well this is it for now.......................... LMK what you think.
