i just finished up the pan for PROJECT tattooed lady. its single bag in the front, dual bags in the rear. 4" autoworks beam, drop spindles, brownbags rear arms, and slammed on airkewld 17" smoothies.
the paint on my air ride parts is just temperary piss can. the owner is later going to have all the parts painted. i just didnt want it to rust, and it looks better then just primer lol.

when this car comes out its going to look sick. sorry i cant post any pics of the car until its been brought out.

here is the link to all the pics....... http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.293776337319399.73345.175230362507331&type=3

the cars look amazing and your work looks top notch, but one thing that bugs me the most is seeing an antenna on a car with a radio delete plate. please shave the antenna or stab a dummy stock radio in there. My oval has a Big M radio and an antenna and a hidden radio. Just my 2cents Very Happy

sweet rides either way.
