Quick Whitey update before KY! Rd. 2

Aside from the Z-Brakes and bracing I made in late May, I went ahead and addresses some other things on my list. Pics are crappy and I didn't take any of the finished project but I made some fender braces for her.

I had flurry of ideas come to mind but this ended up being the most "efficient" method in regards to effectiveness and time. I contemplated making your traditional triangle shaped pieces but decided against making such a large piece given I specifically wanted it to be a "weld on" unit. After pitching Bryan's fender brace idea to him, I thought about doing it to Whitey but also decided against that due to having to redo a BUNCH of wiring. Annnd I didn't really feel like doing that in the middle of the season lol.











I don't have pics yet but the bars were painted the traditional Metcalf Coyote Satin Purple :-). The rest of the night was dedicated to drunken painting and drinking with fun bros. Here's me telling a story or something I dunno..



And Julien, AKA Island Trouble



Louis, AKA BigBelch



And Jeremy, AKA WHATCHUSAYBOUTMYMOMMA?!



Also drunken garage floor chalk portraits...




The next day I decided to give her a bath, she be durty n shit yo.





Overall the combined bracing of the fender, trunk, and rear bumper have made a great impact. Soooo stable through turns, as well as giving you a neck ache every time you drive it lol. Very pleased with the fender braces, simply design yield great results. Taking order now ;-).
