I had the red done locally by a shop I have used before. They do a pretty good job.

The wing buttons didnt turn out though. I guess there was a little corrosion on them and they look like crap. Guess I should have polished them first.

Lesson learned!

wow that is a amazing looking car! I think the wheel spacers might be on backwards, but it is hard to tell on the photo

Thanks! I love it too. I cant stop dropping it from 12 inches. The suspension is so plush.

Working on a battery strap. Should be done this week.

I am reconsidering my body choice too. I was originally going original protech but I am thinking Jammin Jumper!

What do you think?

great choice. That's one of my favorites. What type of spring collar do you have on those shocks? Is there a set screw on them? Looks like it in the pic.
