Deer Slayer 2.0

I finished my subframe the other night but I didn't bother taking pics until now. Gusseted with captive nuts, way overdone but at least I won't have to think about it anymore...







I also finished sandblasting my struts but you all know what those look like. I did get my subframe apart and started the sandblasting process though, I think I need some new sand though!

Fuck rubber, this is a MAN BUSHING:

You should prolly put a big ass fiddle on the hood.

Just throwing in some much needed hate in this thread. Lord knows you send enough my way. : P

The difference between you and me is that you deserve it for drunk-painting your car shit brown without taping anything off. It looked horrid. While you were doing that I was drunk-swapping an S50 into a car that was shiny and faster around NHMS then an E36, a Lotus Elise and on par with an E46 M3.

Me > You.

///M blue.

[Fidhle007]

Lol...

I'm actually leaning towards matching the red body color if I can get it close enough. Time will tell...

[garethashenden]

Ok guys, I need your help. I'm at a loss for a color for my strut housings and subframes and such, I'm tempted to just go body color (zinno) but that might be too ghey. Yellow makes it a german flag, blue is too team america and green would be too christmas. I'd try something like purple but I don't want it to seem too Newman-esque...

Ideas?

Hot Pink

Looks good :up:

[318isbmw]

Looks great with what's going onto the new car. Old one was gorgeous, can't wait to see how much more badass the new one is. I like the splitter w/ the extensions, so epic...

[Fidhle007]

I found plenty of M3 shells but I would have had to sell the S50 to get one, which would have been pointless...

[Mtriple]

Oh hai! I also like where this is going. Too bad you couldn't find a nice M3 shell to swap into...

[Fidhle007]

Here's the whole setup together:

[Fidhle007]

So tonight I was at a loss for a "useful" project so I machined some delrin spacers for my strut housings. My housings have never quite had the perches in the right place or I have the wrong threaded sleeves but either way they still function properly. These spacers go between the gland nut and the top of the threaded housing and are more for looks then anything else except to maybe prevent rattling...?










I did manage to get some sandblasting done though, which means I'm that much closer to having to make a color decision.

Pearl white. Keep it clean too, God dammit.

[Fidhle007]

All of our restorations get black and all of our track cars get gray (I'm not sure it's really a formula, it just happens that way) so I'm trying to get away from that. I have ST sways which are lime green so if I can match that color I may go that route. If not I'm leaning red (if I can match it closely enough) or yellow.

[yberther]

^ yes.

or just black.
