Stretched Pete Orange Nugget

[Kaf343]

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..

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:

[Espeefan]

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.
