Here is a few shot of the body work with the candy sprayed over the base and the first clear coat. Now Paul will wet sand it and reclear it again, he will do this a few times until he gets the depth he is looking for.

You know I thoght that the front fender looked a little high too but I think its just that the tire on the front is just a really low profile. Maybe i should mount he tire on the wheel that matches the rear wheel and check that.

yes, make sure u have the right tire on there. i made the mistake in the oposite direction. i modded the fender to fit snug, to the stock tire, then i changed to an higher profile to gain ground clearance. u know what happened next. back to the drawing board. lol

Sucks when they are too tight to the tire. Mud plugs it so tight the front wheel skids on the muddy gravel rode!

Ya, I don't imagine that machine will see too many gravel roads!! :P Point taken though. B)



I think the tail could use a "kick up" at the back as well. Just my personal preference of course. ;) :laugh:
