Well There all just sealed, it looks like black but its sealer, we gave it the night to dry. We are gona use the Omni shinny black for the headacke rack. But not for the frame the sealer has to have paint over it, we are just gona get some shinny rattle can black. And we are gona do the inside of the frame with rattle can, but im not gona take it down the metal tho. just schuff it up. Im one step closer! 8)

Ive been fighting with myself to swap in the ford 4.0 V6 I have, It will bolt right up to My Mitsubishi FM145 trans, and It will bolt right up to my motor mounts that i have from the 2.9 i have now. The only thing really holding me back is the wiring. The 4.0 wiring is way different than my 2.9. Im just not sure. :econfused Im not sure.
