Sweet rendering. Should be a badass car! :D

Am I seeing a promod body in the background?

Blake Foster 08-17-2017 07:55 AM

yes Josh that is a promod body, that I (we) built for a buddy. it only runs in Top Sportsman 7.80 range.

so if anyone needs one we can do that as well.

Prior to media blasting we wanted to get a little bit of sheetmetal in order. Fat tires are the requirement here so the back end got a fresh minitub.

As an option available with our ExtReme subframes and suspensions we now offer this cool pre-fab tunnel cover to clear T56s. It's easy to install and makes for a nice clean upgrade. On the underside we typically seam seal and box line to finish it off.

Next up- media blasting.

I want to know what kind of shop - that thought that was "paint ready" --- looked ready to START a tear down to me!!

Where's the outrage....


Nice project that will be turned into a great car now that it's in the right shop.

YEA NO KIDDING honestly it had some guide coat on the primer.:headspin: :headspin: and the engine bay had not even been washed. it had mud all over it!!

obviously the shop is :trophy-1302: when it comes to this kind of work. lol
once we media blasted it the car was actually in pretty good shape did a couple lower rear 1/4 patches and that was about all it needed.
but when the customer shipped it here and said it was ready i just laughed. and then gave him the bad news.
it is all good now just :G-Dub:

That isn't ready to paint from a professional shop? :poke: :underchair: :disgusted:


You guys are doing a bang up job. :)

Looks like a great project. Love these cars.

"Ready for paint" means "Ready to start over."

It's universal.

I'm loving the rendering. Looks MEAN, can't wait to see it come together!
