Re: Ned's 91 GSX

That's who I usually buy through but I was trying to avoid the $7.50 shipping charge. With where I'm at now, I would have rather paid it so I could have her back together now.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I hear ya. I dont mind paying a few dollars extra for excellent customer service. Thats why I buy from extreme. They are cheap, but if they are ever not as cheap as another vendor....I still by from them because they always treat me right.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Yea I agree extremepsi is awesome. Super fast shipping also. Just sucks when you buy some for 10$ and shipping is still 7.50

I get it THAT day since I can just drive on over to it. It's only like a 45 minute drive from my place.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I hear ya. I changed my mind on the flat black and went with a gloss black. The 1st coat is drying now. Once I get a couple coats in, I'll post another pic. I want to polish the letters but can't figure out a good way to do it.

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

I have tried many differenent ways to polish the letters and the best way I found was to polish the letters first then put grease on the letters so the paint doesn't stick and you can then just peel it off easily

Re: Ned's 91 GSX

Here's how it sits right now. It's not perfect but it's my 1st attempt with this. I do have one problem though. The pcv valve hole is stripped. What should I do in this situation?
