Nah, powdertech is DUMB expensive for shit, I can’t justify that. I do have paint guns etc at the house here, so I’m thinking I’ll just buy some real good paint and paint it here at the house myself, or maybe over at Jon’s because he has a makeshift paint booth. ---

Cool. Yea, they are DUMB expensive. I’m thinking about putting a small powdercoating setup in my garage to do small things like calipers, brackets, etc. We had one at Adam’s awhile ago, but we didn’t use it much and sold everything. LMK if the frame needs a ride :thumbup ---

Got a little bit more accomplished. The front plate from the kit didn’t seem to fit for shit. No matter what i did or how I bent it, it just wouldn’t line up properly! I dunno if maybe they sent me the wrong one or something… heres a few snaps: ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2ornm2_aFI/AAAAAAAAB-4/4beKvS2L2i0/s800/DSC02249.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2ornm2_aFI/AAAAAAAAB-4/4beKvS2L2i0/s800/DSC02249.JPG) ![http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2oroXeUFVI/AAAAAAAAB-8/8-5pwW9hw5M/s800/DSC02250.JPG](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2oroXeUFVI/AAAAAAAAB-8/8-5pwW9hw5M/s800/DSC02250.JPG) ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2orpIvqAiI/AAAAAAAAB_A/orpH_61J_uQ/s800/DSC02251.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2orpIvqAiI/AAAAAAAAB_A/orpH_61J_uQ/s800/DSC02251.JPG) yes, the plate is tight against the crossmember, i didn’t build that mighty c-clamp not to use it! oh and i picked this up tonight as well: ![http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2oquUaFJTI/AAAAAAAAB-w/g_BmrTz3lPI/s800/DSC02252.JPG](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_7gP8To3oCCU/S2oquUaFJTI/AAAAAAAAB-w/g_BmrTz3lPI/s800/DSC02252.JPG) ---
