But if you're modding a vehicle even a hot rod, why not spend the extra money or save it up until there is enough and have something done the right way?? Why spend the money on cheap ways when eventually that will all catch up when the vehicle looks like crap? See what I'm sayin?

Lol @ the pic of the steak and potato's
Powder coating = a **** load of money i dont have at the moment,
i just figued while i had it off to go ahead and spray it.
Didnt turn out to bad. Yea sure later down the road,
i will buy a whole new head already powder coated.

Powder coating really isnt that expensive if you find a good place. I had mine done locally for 40 bucks and it looked awsome.
