my dad cut out the wheel wells for me, but i did most of everything else taking it apart down to the unibody and even took off all the small plastic pieces that keep stuff together.

Nah it was just wet in that picture. :lol:

The paint is fairly decent, not like we get baking sun here in the PNW.

 

You should make a build thread for your subies in the "members rides" section.
