      i also still don't understand why people haven't looked at the spray on truck bed liner for a frame coating. it comes in some cool finishes and again, it hardens like a rock. that to me would be better than anything that was just powdercoated. maybe it's just me, but i'm not into redoing the same car over and over. there is more than one car of my dreams.

      Welcome to our site

      I am sure you will find that we are not into trailer queens here and that there are some bad ass cars being built and driven.

      I'm with you there, I am not into having to clean the underside of my car nor am I worried about it getting dirty by driving it. That picture you posted is ridiculous and that is not the kind of stuff people are building on this site. I think most guys here just want something durable that is going to look good and take the abuse of street or track use.

      With that said, here are some pics of my car after 15k of street miles. Still looks nice, but I'm not going to have mirrors showing off the undercarriage at shows (and I do put the car in a show or 2 a year).
