CrippledPetey Build Thread!!

who did you order the motor from? I made the mistake of calling a place and as soon as I mentioned Jeep they told me they don't sell for swaps and wouldn't supply any more information.

I figured as soon as you order a modified motor it's a swap no matter the vehicle make it's going into :thinking:

I bought a new crate motor from JEGS.

Yea I also cut off the front portion of the skin and cleaned it up. Bunch of rust under the powder coating. Have to clean up as much as I can before the body comes off :yup:

This :yup:



I love this stuff. Sprays great, covers really good and gives a nice texture (it is on the rougher side) that holds up. I'm going though all my things and paining them this. Most of the powder coating didn't hold up.

That came out nice. My powder coating looks like shit after a year, was debating on what to do with it. Just found my answer thanks!
