finally got loki a new battery. lol!!! the redtop optima that i got 2 years ago quit holding a charge about 6 months or more ago and i've just been lazy in returning it. i got lucky because i went up to oreiley's to buy some paint to paint the magnum's calipers and decided i would just see how much it would cost me to switch out the venge's battery as i was positive i had waited too long and my warranty was expired. but lucky enough for me, even though it had expired on the 4th of this month, they gave me a free battery.
took a few pics while i was doing stuff. i need to clean my poor neglected avenger. but i started with a new battery and drove him around the block a bit and aired up the tires. more to come later as it gets warmer. supposed to be 77 tomorrow so maybe this weekend will be nice for a change.
i did some caliper painting this weekend. not on the venge, but on the magnum and the bike. here's some pics if ya care to see em. i think it turned out really nice. the color is hard to see in the pics as it looks SO much better in person. its a beautiful metallic red color and has the nice little metallic flecks in it that don't show in the pics.
it really made a difference on the bike. i think it looks great. now i really gotta clean the bike wheels and polish that damned swing arm! lol!!!

well i have probably about 6 to 9 months left of warranty left on the magnum that i'm not yet ready to void. but after that, i'm bagging the magnum. until then, i may do a few small thinks like a cai and maybe some upgraded brakes and subs or something. i'm up for ideas if ya have any. oh, i may get a new hood.

no, just the tails. when i first molded them in, i wasn't sure what i was doing and just used bondo-glass (the kinda bondo with fiberglass in it) instead of using resin and cloth and bondoglass like i did with the rest of the kit. the only thing that's cracked right now is the front bumper and a bit on the fender when the whole passenger side came crashing when the struts broke before the air. it got cracked cuz i had to try and drive the damned thing home like that about a mile and a half.
