Very nice! Water next?

 

 

No way lol, paint the interior and stain the exterior. Then i gotta repaint the tank, drill for glass-holes kits.

 

Then i will switch it over and start building canopy.

Looking great!.I Like the blue background and the stand looks great also

what type of lighting are you gonna use on the 40B?

Im going to use my current t5 sundial for now, but since i lost a picasso due to carpet swiming and HATE how the light pores out of the top of the tank, i plan on building a canopy. In which im going to use tek 4x39 retrofit and 6 RB leds for moon light goodness.

 

 

 

Nice Kawasaki. Z-1 right?

 

 

Thanks that is my roomates 83 shadow 750, this is my slut

My research went well. I am back from Peru and Germany now. Your 40B build is looking awesome! Get that thing done asap!

 

As for the LEDs, if you are planning on staying with acans and softies/lps, I would totally go with total LEDs if I were you. Just my opinion.

this car killed my best friend in high school. he had it all hopped up and weight reduced and it took flight into a telephone pole on his way to my house. still cool though for a ricer. that Honda shadow looks just like the front end of our z-1. that's crazy. so no Kawasaki then.

Sorry about your buddy, mine doesnt see much rain or shine lol, I just enjoy building it, kinda like reef tanks, its not the final product but hte process IMO.

 

 

Hey socaldude, why go leds? Its seems alot of acans end up bleaching out from what ive seen.

Judging by the ramhorn exhaust mani and what looks to be an external wastegate, I would have to say turbo charged. ;)

 

aha... didn't see the waste-gate at first. The exhuast mani had me thinking but the intake piping looked like a cold air. Now i see the turbo. ;)

 

My car in highschool was a 1995 Acura Integra GSR w/ a B18C and a T3/T4. I wasn't putting down that much though.. that #### has to fly!

There are some locals here on the central coast that use AI sols for their scolys and acans and they look sick. They have been under then for like 5 months or something. Seems to work well for them. I think a lot of coral bleaching involved with LEDs is either crappy LEDs or underestimating their power and turning them up too high too fast.

stand is all painted inside, i had to make a new door due to one being warped. By the end of this weekend, it should be sanded and ready for a coat of stain.

 

 

Im moving way too slow these days.

Stand is finally done, minus finish sanding and some putty touch up.
