    Thanks mate, the front is off a hq stato, I wire wheeled the underbody to bare metal and used kbs rust seal then a thick layer of body deadener. I have heaps more pics.

    Great pics....thanks for sharing

    Convo pros are a great wheel choice for HQs
    I haven't test driven her yet but it seems like it's well constructed, the ls motor would be a far whack lighter then a BBC so hopefully it doesn't bounce round under there
