Hello everyone, names Rafe, aka rvaughn. Ive been debating about doing a blog logging my build and have finally decided its time to put up some material. So without further rambeling lets get started! Note this post is purely a "Getting to know you" post, more meat to come shortly!
This is a couple pics of my '97 GSX previous to tear down.

This photo is before the two tone scheme I have now, but its one of the better photos I have of the car.
The next photo is gives a decent view of the car, minus a couple of recent goodies, it illustrates the wonderful curb rash of the front bumper and a slight alignment issue with the hood and fenders rather well dont you think?
I blame high speed bumps and a less then awesome paint job from the previous owners encounter with a bad driver. All in all she is clean, but some body stuff will have to follow after the motor build.

This photo is from right after I completed the two tone (plasti-dip). I like the look but im worried the car is begining to loose its original color.

And finally, a teaser of how she is shaping up now / how she sits as we wait for the stroker from ER!
