Re: FV-QR (Buschwick)

? I don't see where you're going, but ok. Nothing comes black except the block. Everything looks much cleaner with a nice coat of paint and not everything polished with swirl marks.

Looks good! With all the deleted and tucked stuff I am surprised you didn't do something with the power steering res.

Re: FV-QR (jwalker1.8)

it's coming, i havent gotten around to it yet. now that the warmer weather is here i can mess with it more. the ps res is the one thing tho that im not sure how to relocate.

I would basically just mount the res into the wheel well. It tucks it out of the way. Here is a thread showing how to do it.

lookin good man! Glad to see you've gotten her going finally!!!
For the PS res, you can also stick it in the rain tray

Re: FV-QR (NOLA_VDubber)

Thanks bud!! I dunno how I feel about putting the ps in the rain tray. Hows your build coming?
