    Awesome, thanks for the offer. But I just found some new Icon uniballs for insane cheap. Even if later on I do the Delta joint conversion, I’ll still be under regular price.

    Gonna pick up some Icon uniball UCAs in two weeks. Meanwhile, I promised a guy I’d buy his Tyger T5 hardtop. Went to a toy drive, and won a Chemical Guys bucket o’ crap raffle. 9389F5AA-E44F-413E-AC3B-178A213B768F.jpg D0C4A040-8B20-4F40-AEA2-E9F24D9F0D77.jpg 82A6231E-5BAC-452B-AFB7-7A2F0E847099.jpg

    Built a quick paint stand. Then sanded down, taped off the important spots and sprayed with self etching primer. F5302B07-8EC0-416C-95AC-FA3B72B3D3D1.jpg

    Metallic Cobalt blue going down. Went with a slightly brighter metallic blue than the Blue Ribbon because it can look really dark, almost purple in dark areas. I tried color matching the A/C control rings, and they just don’t translate. They’ll be the same color as the Mammoth guards. 7B58A73D-970C-41C3-844C-E91753D9A51E.jpg5A112675-726D-4751-AEEA-1444F4007916.jpg
