well i was planning on getting the chassis powder coated but my buddy backed out of the deal we had,, so i got ahead of myself and painted the chassis,,,

parts will be sanded down again to add some light tabs down the road, when i can afford the lights i want,,

but heres some pictures, getting closer



im going to make longer rear links to get the tire lined up a little better in the body




good thing is i put it next to a friends bone stock out of the box wraith and they sit just about the same height!!
