Rat Eater Build

Finally getting closer to the day when I'll get my kit.
In the meantime I was working on parts that are not included in the base kit. Bought some new and some used parts from different websites, local sellers and FFR forum members. After I got the parts, my buddy agreed to help me to clean these parts and get it ready to powder coat. Sandblasting got the job done nicely. Here is picture after sandblasting

Other buddy currently powder coating it in his shop. Other day he brought me spindles and master cylinder. They look great. Master cylinder plastic reservoir didn't look as bad when I removed it before sandblasting/powder coating, but now it looks horrible next to nice master cylinder coat, looks like i will have to get a new one:). Same with hubs, i had to clean it and paint it with chassis paint. Here are couple pictures.

Hope to receive my car in less than a week, but you never know with Stewart transportation. Will post more pics of powder coated parts when I receive it. It really looks great.
