I love the two-tone look.
If I had the extra cash, and not three Jeep's already I would love to DD that Cherokee.

Tying it together looks better! I think it was a minimum needing to be done once you stepped in it with the front and back.

Want to hear something funny? I have been a bit ill and my brain hasn't been quite working properly, and when I looked at these pictures last night on my phone I was like "Oh no! he went two tone BLUE!". lol Somehow the reality that it was masking tape I was looking at completely eluded me. I have been laughing at myself all morning about it.

Haha I can see that happening! Back when I first painted the roll cage in my Bug green, I put blue tape all over it so it didnt get scratched. Whenever I posted pictures of it, people kept asking me why I painted it half blue and half green.

Example

I'm trying to find the link to his build on that. Maybe he will drop in and share the link later if I can't find it. The search here kind of sucks so bear with me.

Very very cool... From the frame up build with a supercharged mid engine configuration.

No the link I provided is way more in depth. The one you posted is an article someone else did on it after interviewing me and going for a ride around the track.
