Take some pix of you smoothing it out my dude. It would definitely give people some insight on just how much work is involved in shaving!

Loving the progress man you really waste no time haha

ok i think i am happy with the front suspension/frame :) i had it all done then completely tore it all back apart and redid it. no more glossy bright bumpy blue, lol:






yea, i like this allot better. textured black enamel and blue on the upper and lower control arms. stainless braided brake line. need to do something with these ugly ass rotors. wire brushed most of the rust and grime off them.
