Wow nice job on the rear end,loosing that over hang will really help prevent drag on deep sharp traversing. The rest is looking good. Job well done

did u do it urself paul

#13 by PAULSV6 , Wed Oct 14, 2015 9:02 pm

Sorry was trying to get pictures up when you was posting.

Went for the orange because at the time it had not been done and I like to be different. It was from a local car paint supplier acrylic I think.

Thanks the bob tail makes a big difference off road and to the look.
