Yabba-Dabba-Do

Post by oklamopar » Sun Nov 12, 2006 10:22 pm

Don't know how else to describe the feeling I have.
Most of you guys and gals know that i have been building a wrecked (rear ended) 2003 Srt-4, that i got from 2002srt4 and a 2003sxt body shell from a local salvage yard. And Well the great state of Oklahoma finally gave me a vin # and tag.
So I'll be doing some modding and will most likely have some questions.

complete wrecked srt-4 $4100.00
sxt shell $300.00
miscellance parts $300.00
tag title and tax $250.00
I cant believe its finally done, Priceless

I been waiting and building for the last 6 months, mostly waiting.
Oh yeah. Insurance.. $180.00 every 6 months.

Yabba-Dabba-Do

Praise God and Hallelujah!!!!!

first question i have... I'm thinking of Painting the car Flat/simi-gloss black and also painting the center of wheels black/leave lip polished. also nite-shade all light housings.

what do ya'll think. thanks for reading

Congrats man! Sounds like a good paint scheme, but I'm not a HUGE fan of the semi-gloss body color.

Damn man... car looks great too for being a Frankenstein :lol: I like the flat black but I wouldn't tint everything. If you're going for stealth then eh... okay but going for looks you're going to need something to keep the car from being completely black :-? Having everything blacked out IMO doesn't always look best :-?

Either way man... congrats on the rebuild!

The more I look at the picture, the more the colors seem to change! :shock: Good work, eager to see how the paint turns out.

strangely enough, I like it the way it is :lol: ...gives it that, built-from-the-ground-up look, hahaha. I really do like it that way though, it's kinda neat and ugly at the same time...

For a race vehicle we buit at school I didn't have time to do a real paint job w/ proper primer, so I thinned down some tremclad rustpaint semi-gloss black and ran it through my paint gun. It looked pimp.
