Guitarrocker98 progress thread.
Sorry its been a little while... Been dealing with things at home and a few other problems... I have not been able to get close to anything done. All I have for the future is that I picked out a new color, and will be dropping paint (dip) this week... Then I will mount the wheels. I wont really be posting a ton of pics until I have a finished product... Which will be close to the end of the year... I may change my mind though.
Yea.... I may. Ive just been running into LOTS of issues... Some large, some small... Wheels came in and UPS scratched them up... So getting re done... Our dog got cancer, and it started eating EVERYTHING... RIPPED up my sensors, ruined a few wiring harnesses I built only about 20 hours of work... No BIGGIE..... Install a return fuel system... BUT THERE IS ONE HUGE ISSUE but its drama filled so I wont go into it here. I will most likely cave and keep a posting haha.
Yea... The lips just had scratching on them... 3 of the boxes looked like they had been HUCKED and one of the wheels had a nick in it... Like when I took it out a pice of the wheel slightly larger than a BB more like a ball bearing/marbel ish size was broken off. The boxes were HAMMERED... I called the guy who build, drilled, and Coated the wheels and asked him. He said that they left perfect. Showed me day and night shots all was perfect... So they are filing a claim and took them back in the mean time to fix it. Thats something you NEVER really hear of happening in the wheel industry though. So they stand behind it. The Larger drama filled issue may require a Lawyer to resolve..... So hopefully I am able to continue to find the time to finish this up so I can get it on the road....
Damn sucks. My first set of wheels I ordered had tires mounted already and the FedEx guy tossed the first one off the truck onto the pavement Cuz he thought it was just tires until I told him I had wheels inside, Wtf.
^^^^^^^^^ Right..... That one really pissed me off. O well though. Will take about a week to get them back on. I have a few more things to do to before I get it on the ground then a clutch and a few pieces then it can at least move... But I hope I dont have to get my lawyer involved with the other issues going on....
Well I changed the color... I thought the base coat would be more black, but it came out EXTREMELY dark brown... It was more like a black with a gold pearl in it..... So then when I shot this color over it, its just different than I thought... It actually looks fairly good... Its got that DARK brown underneath it then its got a green/blue/black... Hue to it... These are in the garage no sunlight shots...
