Decent welds, what happened you ran out of U bends to make the hot pipe and welded the legs together?
I have a bunch of T-bolt clamps.
Grind off all that heavy bondo. Are you going to weld the quarter back together?
If I had a fiberglass bumper it would defenately be Msport, its my fave.

The reds you like are candys = expensive.
Dude, go flakes - just go balls out like the skyline, you could do any color, red flakes would rock.

Well the problem with doing different color base and flake is that it looks like it has sprinkles all over, but if you do the same color base and flake, it looks smooth and uniform, and if you use 100x more flake than people usually do it starts to look more chrome than sparkle. Yours would be red chrome (badazz) There is one size flake bigger than mine and it is way way bigger. I was hesitant to step out on a limb and flake out the skyline but I am glad I did it's the shit.

Ya thats red candy over silver or gold. I have a variety of clamps but I'm straight on the blowies you can have nate to yourself.

I'm impressed with what Matt can do in his S14. Trust me, I saw the whole thing at willow springs race track.
To Matt, Keep working on your ride and someday you will have a S14 that looks as good as this red one,,,, maybe better.

so i found this paint, what do you guys think, dan martin?
metalic candy red
http://www.paintforcars.com/kits_candyredmetallic.html
then it says for best results do a metalic silver/white under it
http://www.paintforcars.com/kits_silvermetallic.html
then hit it with some of their clear coat, done.
maybe even, but probably not, add some flake. i think this would make it look like those cars on the last page, the super metalic ones. but im not sure.
represent!

maybe put some of this in the clear coat?
