I showed my powder coater the picture of Drew Evans car (liberty walk sedan) , and he worked his magic. It's like candy apple , but deeper , kinda like red wine color. It's actually metallic , but the pic he took didn't show .
Nah , my shop did the rebuilt . I think the kit is like $50.

Those calipers turned out great. Did you rebuild them yourself?


What color do they call that anyway? I'm thinking of having mine redone in Candy Apple Red to match the rest of my undercarriage/suspension parts.[/QUOTE]

I was going to ask the same thing.

If it were me (and it won't be), I'd want to see this beautiful collection of custom parts when I open the trunk. More importantly, I'd want to keep my spare tire.

I think the DR pepper tank is a great idea. Very cool.
You definitely need a **** name for your G

Considering the car and the bags, I'm thinking Jack Hammer.

I would have gone for Red Velvet, but I guess its not exactly a **** name, just slightly sexual sounding in this application.

Nothing really... just trying to do something fun with it. Plus, it's my favorite caffeinated beverage (sans coffee of course), so I figured, why not.

The tank will be hidden under the trunk liner/cover 99% of the time, so it doesn't really matter. Only for shows will I open it up so everything it visible. Planning to add a plexiglass window to the spare tire cover and then the carpeted trunk liner can sit over that to protect it during everyday use.


Unfortunately I've been without a spare tire for the past 7 or 8 years since my spare wouldn't fit over my Akebono's, so there was really no loss for me there.

Thanks! Much appreciated. And it's only a $6 vinyl decal so I can always remove it.

Not sure about Jack Hammer. Thinking I probably don't need my car to sound like it's hung. But I do kind of like Red Velvet... Was actually thinking Scarlet, so along the same lines!

Nice set-up! You should be very happy with it.


I ran this exact same set-up for years and loved it. Eventually had to pull the HFC's for emissions and since the car ended up making a few more HP with the OEM Cats, I never ended up putting the Berks back on.
