I used to use Beach Cities Powdercoating in Gardena on Rosecrans Ave. Most of the guys from R-Rides go there (caskyline, rookie, martyg35, etc.). Now I use Young Gunz Performance Coatings because they're 3 minutes from my home (Rancho Cucamonga). Just had some stuff done today. Will pick it up tomorrow.

 

Engine bay work is done. I'll bet I'm the first person on this board to have done and undone a wire tuck.

OMG!!

damn, i need an exhaust but i see u already sold it...

 

Damn! Hey Kurtis, how hard is it to do a wire tuck? Or even just a mild tuck?

 

It really depends on how thorough you want to be. If you want to sleeve all visible wires, it takes 40 or so labor hours. The sky is the limit. Look at engine bays like caskyline's and rookie's. SO MUCH DETAIL! Bet you can't look at a pic of their bays and point out all that's changed. The wire tuck is quite and undertaking. There are a lot of bad things that can happen as a result of doing it incorrectly.

 

^cool, ill talk to you more about it when we meet! The GT spec bars still at the powdercoaters?

 

did you sell your head lights? me want if you didnt.

 

Dam, time machine is hidden in the backyard or something.

He is from HighClass auto club and has worked on numerous show cars.. Great prices. just in case. He is located in santa Fe Springs 562 843 9915. I guess I will start a thread.
