Will the entire thing be flat blacked John? And did you do that yourself or send it off? I remember reading something about sending it off but couldnt remember.

Eventually, the entire rig will be close to that... '07 Charger Sublime Green. Just running out of time and it's not gonna get painted before E.J.S.

From a side profile it kind of resembles an FJ40. I'm thinking it's the flares.

Looks good though! :thumbup:

More updates and pics. Many thanks to all of you who stayed until after midnight to thrash and make it drive-able, you know who you are!

Checking for any interference on compression/droop/steering, etc:

Stay tuned for more mad-thrashing as we prepare to leave for EJS on Saturday!!!

Yeah, it's REALLY beginning to grow on me. We'll see how things play out... the paint job is slipping lower and lower on the priority list.

Tuesday it goes back to Bent Metal Customs to finish the cage to frame tie-ins, build a crossmember, and tie the shock hoops together.
