Here is my project just picked it up at MM today some of Kens finest work. Zx bulkhead extreme drop and roll and 174 tunnel. Now to fit motor turbo ect. Unsure of the colors yet, Polished tunnel would be nice but are they easy to keep clean?? Have to fit all my things on it and then it gets taken appart and cleaned and deburred and off to powder coating. Will try to keep updates with pictures as it transforms.

Powdercoat the tunnel. Dont waste your time polishing.

Cant wait to see that bad boy go. Whatever you do dont let these guys beat you down for riding old iron. Someday they will understand.

The way i see it i will have less $$$ in it than a new one stock and this one is way more controlable with kens rear skid and trailing arms. But groomed trails are a much easier on the back going up and down. Better stop now on the skid talk because you cannot have both worlds.

Slowly it is coming together. Made some changes to intercooler cooling system on last years turbo waiting to hit the snow and see if i can keep charge temp around 40 degrees f not c.Also has any body done a polished auluminum tunnel and then anodized it not looking at cost savings but looks and weight.

I think the anodized tunnel would look great. Lot of powder coated ones out there already.
