cool build mate,that will be a beast when done,loads of torque,whats the ground clearance like?

thanks. ground clearance sucks ass dude. the oil pan and header sit uber low and and hill or bump will cause issues so im on the constant look out for pot holes

- Tue Jun 15, 2010 1:30 am #200416 the new paint hit sunlight for the first time today when i buffed and waxed it. overall with this being my first time painting anything with a hlpv and not some rattlecan B.S. i think it turned out ok. there are some issues on the hood where in the poor light i could not see how much clear i had on and in all the car could use more clear as a whole. the color looks good its just not shining like i thought that it would. but for the 150.00 that i spent on the whole project i need to just stop bitchen and be proud lol... well heres some picks

front end


driver side

i used some meguires rubbing compound that i got from the local paint supply house and used yellow carnuba wax. dude i buffed that shit with the 1500 grit compound like 4 times. eventuly gave up and waxed it lol. i dont know man i mean it shines its smooth and all its just i look at my other cars and i can see myself in the paint and with this i cant unless really close.
