This has got to be the only two tone IS that I like. There is one on My.IS with the same colors are yours but inverted. It looks like **** though.

It only too me about four or five days to get it done. My roommate and i worked on his mini truck so i took time out to help him, and then i finished it yesterday and today. Def a DIY project i would recommend to anyone one. It doesn't take that many specialty tools. The only thing you would have to to do i get someone to weld it up for you. And even then your still saving yourself a tone of CASH MONEY!!

Anyone hiring a Mechanic, Welder, Or Body Man? I have skills. And everyone knows Girls Only like guys with skills.LOL
You might not see the motor in by carlisle, but i keep pushing to try and make it happen. The block is going to get decked next week once i move back home, and ill have the motor back together first week of April.
