    Well , Like I said in a previous post... I did NOT want to cut corners to save a few bucks on this frame. I got it back from the powder coaters today and I really think it came out great.. I didn't wan't to do an injustice for all of DC's hard work either.. The shop that did it was super reasonable on pricing as well.. The color might not be spot on, but it's very close! Here's a few pics.,, Gotta make ole DC happy Mind you, my lighting in my house is terrible and I think my camera might be on it's way out,,,, oh well






    What do you think?,,, I think it looks great!!!

    definitely sexy.

    put it under some reallly white light when you snap pictures...and it'd look even better.

    I'm usually not for red...but that thing looks damned good.

    That looks top notch Tanks! you get it done locally correct? May I ask how much it cost ya?

    When I had my triz frame done in black it cost me a lil' over 200. but the guy did it right and pulled a few snapped bolts and old race and even went and ran a thread through all the holes. definitly worth it when you have a qualitly job done like that IMO.

    Thanks Chris, It's not really locally to my house but, it I drive by the place almost every day..I had considerd using people here on the site to do it but, I got to thinking about the whole shipping idea and changed my mind. The last thing I would've wanted was, for it to get damaged in any way shape or form.. Not that it would but, you just never know... As far as how much it cost me, lets just say that it's very close, if not the same to what you paid for your Z to get done To me that's reasonable, hell I couldn't do it

    ^ Thats the thing, it would be about 125$ to ship it two ways so if he found a good local shop, I'll be loading Roy's truck with an 86 200X frame

    2 Questions

    1) Do you need taps or help tapping the powder out of the frame threads (Chris's post reminded me)

    2) What does the VIN look like now? Can you see it still?

    Don't make excuses about the color, it looks perfect to me!!

    #1.They have a guy that preps the frames after being media blasted. What he does, he puts bolts in every thread hole he can find so when it gets powdered, everythings is perfect
    #2 The vin# is still perfectly ledgible, I was going to take a picture of it to show you but my camera is a POS.
    As far as the color goes, I tried putting my tail light assembly up to match it up, and its a little off. The only thing I was concerned about was the brake pedal linkage mounts. That was the other reason why I ended up taking off the wraps last night. To my suprise, they didn't powder them so everything should just bolt on with no issues.....
    The only thing I will have an issue with, is the ground bolt on the left side of the frame,, remember? the one that was a little tweaked?, they did powder that but, that's it... Wait to you see this thing in person Steve, my camera does it no justice at all
