Jozay721 08-08-06 10:58 PM

o, thats good still, my bad i forgot u said it before.so how long before u get it all together?

blwfly 08-08-06 11:05 PM

Jozay721 08-08-06 11:10 PM

blwfly 08-09-06 08:43 AM

will do mate

NOPR 08-09-06 11:25 AM

Looks good!

i wish i could take pictures of mine, i just used roll on paint to do mine. it saves a lot of time from removing crap and it came out pretty nice. i used that rustoleum stuff that everyone is painting their cars with nowadays. goes on SUPER thick and is some pretty tough crap when its dry.

Looks good! Where you standing on the roof again on that overhead pic? LOL

blwfly 08-09-06 07:25 PM

Looking real nice

How old is that header or is it just oil coated. I have seen them discolor from heat but never like that.

Chris sent me a pic showing his bare feet while he was standing on the front of the body. At least his toenails were clean, lol,

Looks good Chris, keep it up.
