custom PT front end complete

[1badPT]

project number 13361 shows, in the last photo, my new front end completed with the fiberglass repairs that were needed and an excellent paint job courtesy of " Extreme Body and Paint Works" in Baltimore, Maryland. Anybody in this area, I highly recommend this place for EXCELLENT fiberglass work and paint for an extremely reasonable price.

Not bad looking PT! Maybe some day I' ll get around to making a profile of my own and posting updated pics of my ride.... someday..... haha...;)

Thanks sparx, but I have seen your black truck and I must say, very nice! Have you ever been able to make your axel hop better when your smoking them without deflating? If so, was it your pinion angle? Not sure if you know that you can post your pictures under customer cars and just add updated pictures as your project comes along, using the project number and the edit code they give you. Look forward to seeing your progress if you can supply me with your project number when you get one.

For sure, I' ll have to dedicated some time in the next two weeks.... You wouldn' t believe me if I told you how busy I am with my dozen projects on the go! I never seem to have enough time for the small stuff anymore, my rides seem to get neglected from time to time as well! That being the axle hop problem, it' s better now, I keep angling it more and more but never have the time to actually measure and fiddle with it for a day. When I did put the lowering blocks in when I installed the 2" C-notch and was questioning to angle it as it is when it was 3" tall, so I cut it level for now. I will measure and put the same angle of the tranny on the block and then fine adjust it with the link bars. I' m just worried about turning out the link adjusters too much and stripping or bending the threads from not enough being left in the bars? But aired out it just spins them forever with no axle hop! So nice, just like how it was before the bags, so I know I' ll get it, just a matter of spare time at this point! :) My poor Xtreme only got washed twice this year even though I avoid the rain and other bad weather, so it just gets dusty. I' m too pationate at all my hobbies I find! [:-]

I use a california car duster that works great dusting off your car when you' re able to stay out of the rain. I try to wash mine once a week, but sometimes once every two, and the duster works great between washings so long as you were able to stay out of the rain. You will be pretty happy if you get one, and I also highly recommend the Mr. Clean auto dry. My chrome or windows don' t ever need to be chamoised! ...and since your time is so scarce, it really is the best time saver for washing your car.

Yeah, I already know bout both and use the Mr.Clean Autodry, it' s the best out there now! I find the California car duster scratches the clear coat and leaves swirl marks so I don' t bother to use it. I used to wash my truck that much when I was in College, ahhh the days! :D
