the reason i painted the middle white is for the BRIDE decals,so they will show up a little better.

in the battery pic the acid caps are really yellow but in the pic it came out like a cross between white and silver for some reason guess it was the light. i gotta paint the negitive side black on the batt too. im really proud of these springs i like the way they look i hope i can see them when its put together. feed back please.

that sub box was made from the datsun pickup bed cover and the two amps are from the f&f supra.i also made a new exhaust because i broke the other one,here it is.

the tip/muffler/whatever you call it,is from the f&f supra.the exhaust from the cat back i made with a peice of a parts tree and a lighter which i regret doing now lol.the reason why all of the little s bends are there is so they could clear serten parts of the suspension and still be tucked up under the body for a clean look.the part of the roll bar thats going over the seats is going to be painted it was there for mock up and the pic (i made the roll bar too with the same meothed as the exhaust :lol2: )

turbo is good, very good :D

no no simply cause i dont have anything to make a big ass turbo out of so it will be stock twin set up until i get stuff then ill make one.i did make custom intercooler pipes dunno if they fit right yet.last night i had problems with the wheel fit ment and had to cut and sand down the little like mounting thingys on each side for the front and only the back side for the back.i built the motor and its ready to go in for mock up with the raditor and intercooler pipes to see if they fit ill get pics tonight cause ill be painting all day.
*EDIT* maybe ill find a way to make a big ass turbo im gonna go think and play around with stuff :icon16:

SupaMan89T
05-16-2004, 03:34 PM
i could find a way that looked right to make a single turbo so im gonna keep the twin until i think of somthing.i will not have pics of the body tonight....or wait maybe i will i dunno its gonna be cuttin it close i had to redo the wheels and tires cause they had to much negitive camber in them so i fixed that looks better now its drying.ill try to get pics of everything ive done so far later tonight.

Looks very nice. I especally like the last shot it gives alot more meaning to the "Silent Night" title. Looks very intimidating, great job.

P.S....I think the only time you should take it out of it's case is when you get a decent camera so we can really enjoy the work you've done.

Yes that is great looking. I agree with the above post.

i didnt do anything to the suspension but adjust the camber and cut the mounting points of the brakes to make the wheels fit.
