Re: purgatorio

Inner fender wells from absolute sheet metal. They look beautiful but just aren't going to work. We have a mock block but no heads, turbo piping etc. Huhe thanks to Sheryl at absolute sheet metal for allowing me to return them. Guess we will have to fab some up when the engine phase comes into effect and my pockets aren't empty.

Re: purgatorio

Cant wait to see this come along. The Absolute fenders aren't the best fit with my art morrison chassis either. I know the are made for factory frames.

Your better off not getting anything from Precision. I'm my experience, their turbos don't stay together and they don't stand behind their product.

Re: purgatorio

Going for a specific look. In high school my truck was slammed on the front, i remember the wheels were kind of tucked into the front fenders. Trying to mimic that look with this one.

Paint, not really a fan of the rat rod look. Chassis powder coat red and black. Body will be black. This truck was on eBay I think, love the paint job on it.
