Vlad needed a quick fix after an accident… I should have taken a before picture cause it was really bad (Vlad might have one)… But for a sledge hammer and 2x4 it doesn’t look too bad (we did from the rust back)… And of course, we had to decal it… ![http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y377/h0twh3els/2011-11-26191707.jpg](http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y377/h0twh3els/2011-11-26191707.jpg) ---

We can see what to do to make it lower. Thats the harder part. By hate life, do you mean the axles are tweaked and binding, or physically hitting the frame? or both!!! Start with the easiest… I can notch the frame with some 3/16th wall 2.5" tubing, cut in half, like a C and weld it into the frame. Thats what we do for tierod clearances on mini trucks all the time. Binding, cant change the suspension geometry at the wheel. Only thing to do is LIFT the engine. I will machine engine mount spacers, and get new longer bolts. .25" - .75" spacers will go a LONG way with axle bind. Sky is the limit, well the bottom of the hood really, but you get the idea. The other thing to worry about other than the easy stuff like down pipe, heater hoses, etc is the plunge of the CV joints themselves. That needs to be addressed too, just something we need to keep an eye out for when we go at it. > [@tdi\_logik"](#): > > what was your service nick and i might need ya to make me a new uicp since the buschur one doesnt fit as well as i’d liked. > > come spring time Dave didnt get his jig right when he built it??? 🙂 Show me point A & B and ill fill in the rest how ever you want it to fit!

OhNoPoPo’s bike is getting the CRC treatment. The plastics are prepped, parting lines were sanded off and smoothed, ready for paint. Nicks request was “Dude, bass boat flake! Go nutts with them.” He picked out the paint, a BMW Cosmos Black Metalic basecoat, and I hit up TCP global for some Intense Green Holographic Flake. The flake is so big it takes my primer gun with a 2.3 tip to launch them on the work. You can actually see flakes hit places and bounce off like golf balls! So I shot a test fender we had to see how it looked. The flake is BIG!!! The color shift effect is sick too, lots of pop and the compound curves make the effect jump out, even under crappy shop lights. The only thing I didnt like was without peppering the entire thing in flake was the black basecoat VS the light green flakes looking straight on look odd… needs something between the two. So I ordered some emerald green micro flake, more like a dust. I will mix that into some intercoat and lightly dust the black base, then bombard it with the mega flake. That should do it! this is what we have so far… ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02303.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02303.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02306.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02306.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02309.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02309.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02311.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02311.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02312.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02312.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02308.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02308.jpg) ![http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02313.jpg](http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd482/CapitalRegionCustoms/DSC02313.jpg) ---
