Stretched Pete Orange Nugget
 
I'm starting a few new builds and a few rebuilds, the first is a Stretched Pete I got from another member on the board and decided to make a few changes.

Started with changing the frame from black to the matching Omaha Orange..

It came with Steve's rims..

Added some silver trailer shocks.

Stripped the painted 4:1 and polished it a bit.

I thought it would look just as nice with an orange frame and I was right it looks great orange can't wait to see it finished.

Very nice start and what a great set up to start with! I've seen your work, I'm sure when this is done it won't be a nugget...... It will be a gem ;):cool:

I believe it is one of Brian's grilles that has been chrome plated.

Keith you can use multi quote and reply to more than one post at a time.;) That will help keep your thread a little cleaner and eliminate members going to check out a new post hoping for more pic's just to get to it and see a lot of single quoted post.:cool:

Oh, that's really nice! Orange and white seminole! A great paint scheme. Now that the frame is painted to match, it's even better.

Thanks Travis for that info, I've noticed some members respond that way. Is there a tutorial on how to do that? That would be much easier for sure.
