Let me know how the Eastwood powder coat kit works. I hear good things about it. Just make sure you have a spare oven to cook it all in Not your home oven!

i hope your going widebody or pull your fenders out cause i know how tight a 9.5 wheels are in the rear, and i cant imagine what 10.5's would fit.

its been done before without widebody and it looks great....with the right offset you just need a slight roll of the fender.
