Man Griz!!! I see why we never see you at any of the comps or GTG's!! Looking great, CAn't wait to see that thing in MT!!!
 
Thanks Jim. 8)
I really like it too, my pics don't show the true color real good, it looks even better in person. This new purple matches the purple on the body almost exactly. "thumbsup"
I almost ended up painting it black, I'm glad I didn't.

I will have to check it out in Montana next week "thumbsup""thumbsup"
 
:shock::shock::shock::shock::shock: stunning!

I just can't think of any better word than that.
 
Nice work Chris. I love everything about it! I bet you are keeping a lot of secrets to yourself huh ;-):lol:
 
Thanks for all the great comments guys, this has been alot of work, I'm glad to hear some feedback on it.
Yes, THnCS, this is why I have not made it to any of the scale get togethers, hopefully we'll do some more this summer and I can get out and have some fun with you guys. "thumbsup"
Yes Brandon, there are some secrets I still have not revealed, both on Guido and Pepe. ;-) Every one of those levers on the tranny hump has a function. 8)
Thanks John, I don't know where the idea came from, it just kinda hit me one day. It's not perfect looking but it gets the point across I think.

Here's some shots from the garage. This was shooting primer and the Plum Crazy Purple.
Also some shots of building the drop pitman arm.

Your a crazy crazy lil man "thumbsup"
:lol::lol::lol:
wow this thing is sick man, what did you use to cut out the rough shape of the pitman arm,?
I used a fiber cutoff wheel on my air tool for the rough cut, then some finer shaping with the Demel and a fiber cutoff wheel, then I used a sanding disc on my angle grinder to finish it.
I don't own a belt sander, every part is either sanded to shape with the sanding disc on my angle grinder or filed to shape. Thanks man. "thumbsup"
