Eh, at least i wasn't the only one that got smacked by mass rain fall. 2.5" in 24 hours, and yes I was under my truck with torch and impact in hand when it hit, by the time i crawled out from under the truck lightening and thunder and buckets of rain... ruined my day too!

Had a break in the weather today and got to get a couple shots of the frame painted. I'm happy with the way it turned out and the matte finish. I'm going to try and squeeze the axles in for paint before I run out of warm weather.

Wow, that looks incredable....nice work. Youre right that matte finish does look slick....

Thanks, no sun when I took the photos. I need to pull it out tomorrow to paint the axles, maybe I can get a shot in the sun, it does have a nice shine.
