I just started a new project. Instead of the usual Skyline body mod project and since i no longer have mine I am gona do an RX7 body kit. I already made side skirts and a wing. I wana see other RX7's to get an idea for the front and the back when im done I'll post pics in the gallery.

I dont have pics yet i want to get the front and rear dressed up before i go public with it. I stumbled on a good setup for lenolium and viynl flooring, I use tractor style front treads from a motorworks and stock rear slicks with a clone motor.

microkid, how did u get your rims painted and still have a chrome lip. i tryed that with a set of wheels. i used masking tape to cover the wheels and cut out a circle with a razor blade where i wanted the paint. i sprayed my wheels and when i took the masking tape off it looked like straight a$$ and all gummed up from the adhesive. plz help thanks

also is there any way to remove the paint from the wheels and not damage the chrome i would like to try to paint the wheels again hopeing better results.

The body got messed up so theis project or at least the body may be terminated. No i dont has a digi cam so no pics. I used sharpie on the wheels and was just careful not to mark the lip.

i have an idea that may work. i will paint the wheels all one solid color and when its dry i will take a q-tip with some paint remover on the tip and remove the paint from the lip. hopefully it will not remove the chrome also, i doubt it will.
