well, she was black in till i found that the blue i choose, looks purple with some lights. really cool purple, just not what i was doing.  so today i finished wrapping the wires and pulled all the mock up junk and sprayed it white. so not my color.    but should be spraying blue tomorrow   |

Ok, man its just not fair. thought white primer would knock the purple down to a expectable level. silly me.  so im really bummed, but the 'hill billy way dont let me' keep buying paint so i might have to live with it  I know, I know,,, its not bad, just not what i wanted. so some of the pics look better then others. some with flash, some with out.     it changes as you move around and the light hits it differently    and on op of that,, I RUN OUT OF PAINT!!!! |

Got most of the polishing done for know  ok, so dealing with paint nightmares, (what other kind is there?) i have moved on to some other things. trying to set up mounts for my power steering, cause my head doesnt have the right stuff. (really). this may or may not work. but it is going to happen for as long as it takes it to break    i am going to drill the front of the head. threaded the bracket and im going to make mounts that go to the exhaust studs. Time will tell if it will last |
