Sweet rendering. Should be a badass car!

Am I seeing a promod body in the background?

yes Josh that is a promod body, that I (we) built for a buddy. it only runs in Top Sportsman 7.80 range.

so if anyone needs one we can do that as well.

Prior to media blasting we wanted to get a little bit of sheetmetal in order. Fat tires are the requirement here so the back end got a fresh minitub.

As an option available with our ExtReme subframes and suspensions we now offer this cool pre-fab tunnel cover to clear T56s. It's easy to install and makes for a nice clean upgrade. On the underside we typically seam seal and box line to finish it off.

Next up- media blasting.

I want to know what kind of shop - that thought that was "paint ready" --- looked ready to START a tear down to me!!

Where's the outrage....

Nice project that will be turned into a great car now that it's in the right shop.

Another great project to keep an eye on!

YEA NO KIDDING honestly it had some guide coat on the primer.

and the engine bay had not even been washed. it had mud all over it!!

obviously the shop is

when it comes to this kind of work. lol
once we media blasted it the car was actually in pretty good shape did a couple lower rear 1/4 patches and that was about all it needed.
but when the customer shipped it here and said it was ready i just laughed. and then gave him the bad news.
it is all good now just

That isn't ready to paint from a professional shop?

You guys are doing a bang up job.

Looks like a great project. Love these cars.

"Ready for paint" means "Ready to start over."

It's universal.

I'm loving the rendering. Looks MEAN, can't wait to see it come together!
