had a minor set back... my cousing got some automotive paints from a buddy that works in a body shop.. I got some little plastic paint containers from Hobby Lobby and put the paint in there, but the chemicals didn't jive with the plastic containers and ate the bottoms... had a paint spill all over my work station, and unfortunately right where my front leafs were sitting... the paint and chemicals disolved the styrene, so now I have to refabricate the front leaf springs... grrr.. but oh well, live and learn..

here is a pic of the "massive" paint spill Got it all cleaned up, but the front leafs are unsaveable Here are a few pics of the frame, the way it was stock I cut the 3 rear supports off, and sanded down the old leaf mount locations, along with the stock shock mounts Here are a few mock ups with the rear leafs attached: Here you can see how I "X"ed the rear frame.. better support for the mud races Now I've just got to refabricate some front leafs and start getting mounts built... Thanks for looking!
