[hotwheels]

Ok I baught the qaud in november 2012 I got it for $500 it needed a lot of work but was still in over all great shape heres a photo of when I first picked it up
Ahh the first pull off the truck always an adrenalin rush lol well after a lil play and fun a decided in december I was going to tear it down and start from scratch note I am still building but am at a riding pointthen it was time for stripingafter stripping I knew I needed to get something on the medal to keep flash rust from hapening by the way before spray I cut off a bunch of unused tabs and such from stock parts I knew I wouldnt need well im at my pic limit so I will start another post in this thread continuing on when I see a bit of interest

Ok well so much for waiting on interest figured I go ahead and finish part of the strip down and suchdecided to go with a neon brite green so the frame would stand out a lot I am going with a bit of the hot wheels theame so bare with me as I wasnt sure in the begining in awaiting times we spent christmas morning hammering a few holes through some boards with the ar the block behind didnt stand a chance either unfortunatlyanyways moving on present arived that I was waiting for ...... plus 4 polished aluminum blaster zone pro series swing arm

So moving on deceding to start doing more workwhat a mess to look at much work needed in cleaning and finishing.....then as I moved further in I started the clear coats on the frame note there are a lot of coats to reframe from sand scratched and other minor nicks that would normaly tear color awayafter a lot of coats the last pic was the finished product

How have you tried to contact them? I just realized how close they are to me and I think I'm going to try and reach them tomorrow. Even if it's just some dude running a biz out of his garage I'd love to stop by and see what kind of cool stuff he has laying around.
