Cris,

Looks great of course.

I really like the continuity of design you're achieving by having your own components manufactured.

Attention to detail is second to none! Motor pic is the money shot! Nailed the industrial look with with the satin gray, black and stainless hardware! Is the top of the cowl gloss or just a reflection?

Good luck on the thrash and look forward to seeing it at SEMA!

Default What finish on the uprights?



Nice detail on finishing the stock Uprights. Did you powder coat or hard anodize them? Also did you press out and re-install the upper ball joint? Was masking the part a pain?

Billet trunk hinges were not in the budget.. We need to leave some of it for gas money.. The trunk is not a focal point in the car.. so could not justify the cost for billet trunk hinges

The sub-frame is powder coated.. the rest is painted.. Gotta thank Jay/Jamess113 for helping on the paint formula for the grey & helping on getting correct flatting agent for the colors..

Masked control arms & uprights.. painted them
