here are some pics guys....

this is what i have assembled so far, just loosely fit, gotta make lots of mods and adjustments before i ride

these are the removed sticker ridges in my paint

another good shot of the depth of these ridges

my makeshift paint booth

sanding/prepping the panels for paint

some test pieces that i painted satin black (semi gloss)

my two favorite possesions in the world... (shes an akita)

ok well i have gotten all of the panels painted. I have a few panels with minor mess ups, that i will have to wet sand out and repaint after about a week(so they can cure fully) other then that, they look very good, the satin black seems to have just enough shine to look good, yet still not be too shiny to show my lack of painting skills.

I will get these panels on tommorow or monday and take a pic. Let you all see what i have been up to.

Aw man, it wont matter cause just as soon as you finish this you'll be in the nearest big nasty mud holes, ruts, or whatever you can find right? :twisted:
