oh what a nissan feeling! Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Man that thing looks awesome! nice pics :( and for once its not even an hour from me, so one day i may even get to view in person :o I like how you are actually completing the whole car before it hits the road, so it will be a sweet ride the first time you get to cruise it :) Edited April 17, 2008 by oh what a nissan feeling!

Jono Posted April 17, 2008 Report Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) looking nice. don't ever park the thing though! my panels were straight once, and only 9 months of weekend cruising (and parking here and there) there are plenty of trolley and door dents. Edited April 17, 2008 by Jono Quote
Medicine_Man Posted April 19, 2008 Report Posted April 19, 2008 Some photos of the progress of one of the SSR Mesh rims, Sanded off the clear coat with 320 grit sandpaper, Then 1200 grit sandpaper, Then Autosol and a buff they came up a treat... Also sandblasted the center of one wheel and etch primed it so teddy can get that painted during the week.. Quote
