I like the wheel.. Hopefully you never need it, or that your Ins Co never finds out you deleted the airbag..

You couldn't use the horn button on the wheel ??

I could but, Grant's Button choices are lame. Plus, I wanted all the buttons in one location. I don't blow my horn at everyone. Just to try and scare animals from time to time. So, it was not important to me. Biggest reason is how the wiring is behind the wheel.

The Horn and cruise control buttons are on the same Computer style wiring along with radio controls. This was not only easier but, cool to me!

Almost looks like a dripping-blood bowtie logo.

First layer of smoothness.

Don't let the reflections fool you. It is actually smooth.

Paint Test

I found the Black Metallic Paint I am going to use. Here is a Test Spot on the fender only.



Now it is time to layout a design and paint it up. I am just waiting on the weather right now.

Paint Code is BUN0090 and is Universal Black Met for replacement of T90. Duplicolor Brand Paint!

BA DOOOOWWWW!!!! Front Clip painted. Now on to the graphics!!!




I know there is still some dents in the hood but, it's no biggie. Fixing the hood was temporary till I have the extra cash to get a new one. The hood itself is fairly cheap. It's the shipping part that sucks.

Compared to the way it was below. I am happy for now!
