LM7_RX7 09-15-09 08:14 PM

did a quick spray of my body kit. this is one coat of duplicolors paint shop performance red. i was gonna do a second coat but the end blew off my hose and i didnt have another one. still need to clear coat it. depending on how they turn out i think im goin to try and spray my whole car with it.

looking good to bad its not A 13B TWINT. or 20b but thats sick
waht kind of motor is that?

forrest[fb] 09-15-09 08:27 PM

im guessing mustang motor? hence the rims?

LM7_RX7 09-16-09 12:29 AM

its a 5.3L chevrolet motor out of a silverado. i put the rims because the mustangs have the same bolt pattern and the rims dont look bad. i originally bought another set of rims but they didnt work so i bought these.

kensin 09-16-09 04:11 PM

LM7_RX7 09-16-09 06:14 PM

hi!

minuteman7 09-19-09 01:26 AM

dude seriously it looks like its coming along amazing!! i didnt know silverados came with those engines.. what year is the silverado from?

Toretto 09-19-09 09:22 AM

Go man go. You are on fire!

Nice project thanks for sharing the photos.

LM7_RX7 09-19-09 11:59 AM

thanx everyone.

its from a 2002 silverado.

angelofragnarok 09-19-09 01:00 PM

That is incredible! I'm surprised the 5.3L sat in there so comfortably, too. Oh, and those wires you posted about? I think they're manufacturer test leads. My '84 GS has em too, and my uncle (a certified mechanic) explained to me that those wires are what they use to make sure a car is ready to ship out for sale. If you don't mind me asking, how much money have you invested into this project?

jimmayor007 09-19-09 01:15 PM

hello all, nice site

LM7_RX7 09-19-09 07:40 PM

minus the $500 for the car about $3k right now i think.
