KTMRack:
2" drop spindles in the front and that's it.

So it's going to look like a "STINK BUG"? :picard:

Now I think I'm going to get started on some body work.

Here is the interior rear section

What an awesome project Rack

Are your boys excited about it as well? I'd love to do something like this with my kids :cheers:

GMan was until I told him its time to put some sand paper in his hands. :smirk:

Good time for him to learn how to wrench on his own car!

I saw a clean White Cal Bug when I was exiting the freeway this morning. One piece windows, lowered front and rear, but with a little stink bug effect. Had the trim removed, welded and painted, so you get the smooth look. Like I said, it was clean...

I am lucky with Clay, he is always ready to work on his bike. My oldest one, Dylan; on the other hand is hard to find when any wrenching needs to done.

Same with my boys. One doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and the other one seems to vanish when the work is in progress, although he has been much better as of late.

Working on bikes is almost as good as the riding part.

So who knows about prepping for body work and paint? Where to begin?
