Re: my 66 progress
por 15 , but im not a fan of shiney black frames , the dont come like that from the factory , so i dulled it down with a grey , allmost black paint that i had , im on a budget here , the suspension is just cleaned and painted flat black , the pics make it look alot different but in person its really not that much of a difference .
