    I am trying to find a fire wall at a cheap price to paint and I just got the first few coats on the ABS cover thing. I am trying to teach myself how to do pinstriping in about 10 minutes...Lol!

    Looks awesome! Nice job! Must of been a slight pita taping. I noticed that you didn't leave any unpainted strip for the coolant level, looks much cleaner that way.
    As far as the firewall. You can make your own out of aluminum flashing, like I did. Works perfectly, bendable and dosnt retain that much of the heat. If you decide to diy it, get the 10" width brown/white powder coated flashing. It gives you a better base. You can get it at Lowes hardware, not homedepot. I'll see if I can push myself to make a few, if not a local cutter. I'll look into it.
    I would love to pin stripe as well. You have to have steady hands and a good eye. You could always tape the line. I'd like to get into air brushing.

    That looks really good Drew. "Show & Performance" did a good job on it.

    Jimmy - It looks like there is a clear area on the side to view the coolant level. I've seen other ones "S&P" have done and that's where the observation window was.

    Nah... just my water colors again...

    See above reply... and you're still a fag! Don't think sucking up to my mods is going to get you out of an arse whoopin' when I see you...

    Thanks... I left an area where I could see the level.

    Nope... Ralphs doing almost everything else though...Lol!

    So you did it? Cool, That looks really good. Is your motor being forged right now? When do you plan on adding a little more boost to her?

    Ralph did buy the new bottle for me to paint....Lol. Ya, he is adding my meth kit, forged pistons, ARP bolts, and other goodies. Right now, I just plan on keeping the same boost and tune that Vortech gave me. I don't have an extra grand around for a new tune...Lol.

    Yep....in this case...putting the cart before the horse achieves the same result. I'm just looking forward to seeing what she'll be like with some more boost.

    New pics added to post #1. I still have to teach myself how to pinstripe to complete the ABS cover (it's not clear coaed yet) and the front SRT emblem... still thinking about the back.
