We started with a BARE s13 chassie which was gutted completely and brought back to life. The car's intent is road course, but i'm sure we'll be doing other stuffs with it (hard parking :P ). I didn't want to build a car that was strictly for one thing. Right now as things change, get the car dialed in (motor/suspension tuned), maybe take it to some events and see where it goes. This car is not the cleanest by any means but will be built perfectly for my driving needs. Ultimately, I just wanted to build a car that i've always wanted. Enough, here are some pix..

FYI: Wheel sizes are 18x10 +0 and 18x13 -36

PREP









The Mexican polishing the wheels



Primer Coat

Paint Booth

Mike Likes the smell too much

Mandy Doesn't

K likes it!

Base coat





Deciding here if we should keep it flat

MEGA-a** helped a lot with this build

Powercoat is back



Eric and Mike also working hard

Last clear

WE MADE IT





The car was shot for Super Street in June and should be hitting Next months issue. Mag was not our intent for the build, BUT WE'LL TAKE IT!
