[misfitfeind]

hey pappy im gonna send you my grab bar and front bumper from my ds650. you pc'ed my frame a stealth black a while ago i dunno if you remember or not. but i wanna get the bumper and grab bar stealth black also. let me know when is good for you


thanks ---matt

[Pappy]

anytime is fine

[misfitfeind]

i thought of it earlier today, if im sending you my bumper and grab bar. i might as well send you some other stuff too.

a-arms stealth black
tie rods stealth black
swing arm stealth black

shock springs fire red

the only question i have is on the swing arm.
i cannot get the brass cups out where the pivot bolt goes through the swinger and the frame. is that going to be ok or do you need them out to powder coat?

also the a arms are brand new they have a hammertone coating on them. any questions let me know. if the brass cups arent a problem everything will be sent out tomorrow

[Pappy]

They shouldnt pose any problems. I will plug the ends before sending to stripping

[misfitfeind]

cool thanks everything will be sent out tomorrow.

also sent you a pm with my info

[misfitfeind]

sorry took longer than expected. sent them out today they sould be there tomorrow or wednesday. everything is stealth black, besides the shock springs, they are going to be fire red. pm me with price and ill get it right out to you ---thanks again

[misfitfeind]

just checkin to see if the stuff arrived. if so let me know how much to send you thanks.

[Pappy]

yes sir, i have one heavy box here:p

[misfitfeind]

heavier than it looks huh

[misfitfeind]

was wondering how my stuff was going but more important, i am trying to find wheels for my ds, they have a 1/143 bolt pattern. i would like black ones but my choices are pretty limited with this bolt pattern. i am trying to find itp baja in black but im coming up empty. let me know if you can help me out. if you can only get the polished one we may have more coating to do. :) just let me know whats available. thanks again

[Pappy]

Id suggest calling Colby at C&D Racing and see if they are available, and if not you can order through him and he will ship them direct to me if you wish.


I got the parts unpackaged....that swing arm is MASSIVE:p

I should have you done this coming week.

[misfitfeind]

everything on the ds is massive

but at 6'5" and 220lbs it kind of feels like a 450 to me.

ill let you know on the wheels. if i end up getting them you can hold on to the other parts and send everything back at once. thanks again

[misfitfeind]

i think i am going to hold off on the wheels till later in the build. let me know what i owe you when you finished. thanks

[Pappy]

Your arms are in the oven now, the other parts are ready to shoot and should be finished tomorrow evening etc


Did you happen to notice those arms powdercoat was not fully cured, there were cracks in it everywhere!

[Pappy]

arms


well they are done, site wont let any pics load:ermm:

[misfitfeind]

yeah i only have so many options with ds after market. ill take what i can get.

[misfitfeind]

whats up? i was wondering how everthing was coming along?

[Pappy]

everything is done, just waiting on the swing arm to come back from stripping.

[Pappy]

here is some pics, and these parts are ready to be shipped back to ya

[Pappy]

Bumper/grab bar

[Pappy]

Not sure why I couldnt post this pic the other night

[Pappy]

Fixed my mistake, now they are the correct color:p

[misfitfeind]

great service and great work to boot:D

[misfitfeind]

money sent. quick question? my brother decided to powder coat his rims stealth black. they are 17 inch cadillac wheels. the only problem is it is his only mode of transportation. how fast can you turn them around? a cadillac can only sit on blocks for so long till the neighborhood cops get suspicious! let me know thanks againg for the great service.
