I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Should look good when its in. any 'rough' spots i see shouldnt be noticable when its installed. am considering doing something like this next year and am curious how the paint will look after a couple runs though, keep us updated after this thing sees some heat :up:

well i can say that it should hold up well...i panited my block and trans just like that too and its been about two years since i did it and it still looks just like it did it...the paint i used was eastwood alumablast and its not even a high temp paint


looks good though...did you paint the whole block? looks like you were lazy and didnt repaint the back of it?
