        Where did that seat come from? Or did you make it?

              The seat came from a friend that bought it after market for his sporty years ago. Theres no name on it so i dont know who made it. All i had was the pan i added 2" foam and gel to it. before i covered it.

                Cool thanks. There are so many types of seats that look like that, but just won't work.

                  AWESOME COLOR! Very similar to what I want to paint mine.

                  Maybe I'll actually get to it this winter....

                    I think Maxim wheels are the bomb.

                    Go for it.

                    Modern paint, modern look, modern wheels.

                    Can't wait to see them chromed.

                      Polishing Aluminum, the EASY way

                      sand to get rid of those blemishes....

                      I start with green...use a scotch brite pad as your on rag
                      then white.....with a towel
                      use clean 'off' rags, but white flour, YES, from the cupboard. put a little in the off rag, then watch what happens
                      here's the secretwork the black, work the black, work the black, if you don't see black after a few seconds of rubbing your trying to polish 'clear coat'
                      You'll need to strip the clear off.... this stuff is great

                            Well im out of the hospital and laying around recovering. It'll be a few before I can lift anything, While I was in the hospital the plating company that i was going to use had a fire and burned to the ground glade my rims were not there yet. So i'll have to find a different place.
