good ol rattle can paint is what im using.

i apply the paint in stages to avoid those frickin fish eyes. once i get the last and final coat on, i hang it in front of the topedo heater to dry. unfortunantly, i didnt use the heater on the front fender, so i didnt get the gloss i was after....but thats ok.

dio swap........hmm.........ill stick with se50 engines. im not lookin for a whole lot speed anyway.

wow man, that thing is looking nice.....
did you decide on a rim color yet?

well, i think i decided to go with a two tone paint for the wheels. the spokes of the rim will be white, and the rim will be red.

ok, i just finished the rim and brake caliper. i think the two tone looks pretty good.
