The suspension was painted white, but had rust spots peaking through around bolts and where holes where drilled. I liked it a lot. Like I said in the beginning, my rpu won't turn everybody on, but it's going to be a lot like the Dynamat car, maybe rougher.

    Steve (in England), that does look good like that, and I think it actually has some better handling characteristics, and certainly better shock dampening. That is the setup I will probably go with.

    Steve (USA). yep, that is the coupe. He said it almost broke his heart to take brand new finned aluminum heads and put acid on them to age them, but that was the look he was after. Great little coupe, and the patina looks so real, even down to scratches and booboos on the frame and suspension.

    I think I will do what they do to distress furniture.........take a chain and beat it.
