well i guess i made my post too soon, whered you get the patch panels?

 

[powder1742]

Got the panels off ebay. This whole build has been on the cheap.

I'm back. Here's the last of the pics:

Started on the front lift. That was a 3 week project due to radical beer consumption by myself and helping hands, a sweet respitory/sinus infection that kept me out of the garage for a week, and other life things that cause a build to drag on and on and on!

One of my buddies has a tire shop in town. He knew I was looking for some treads and hooked me up with a gently used set of Mickey Thompsons for 6 bills. 305/55R20s. I also swapped the black torque thrust M's I had on my old ram for a set of boss "who knows what" 20x8.5s. The tires balloon a bit on the narrow rim, but hey, you work with what you got.

So thats basically where she is now. A pretty shell, that doesn't drive yet due to a leaking tranny, and no interior. I'll update as the interior gets put back in. The plan is to do everything in black. This weeks project is to pull the transmission and do a little overhaul. Wish me luck. Later all.

That color really pops out in the sun light.

-Sent from my twin turbo Desire using diesel fuel.-

Yea, its like anything else, it looks different in different light. I thought I really screwed up before I shot the clear, and was mad as hell because the paint wasn't even close to the same color shown on the color chart at the paint store. The color changed again when I wet sanded/buffed. I'm pretty happy with it now.

Will there be a big "01" going on the roof like there is on your garage door?

On another note, where did you get the bumper? LMC? How well did it fit?
