Lookin good!! The stance with how you did the tires and raising the back pan worked out great.

Thanks! I myself am really happy with how the stance turned out. The only thing that is a little annoying about how wide it sets is the fenders only cover about 3 inches of the 12 inches of tire tread. So the other 9 inches are left slinging mud all over me. Tho I like how it looks too much to try to make fender flares but maybe sometime in the future.

Well I've been working from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm the past few days to get this finished. I got everything to be painted sanded down to bare metal, primered, and painted. All four rims got painted two-tone silver with red centers. Tomorrow morning all that is left to do is respray my hood, put on my decals, put it back together, and load it up to take it to my buddies house to make a new tensioner arm, and test it out and get a good video and some pics in the mud pit.

'We're here at the MasonMcK garage where the team has been working around the clock to get the massey mule finished in time for the closing of the 2015 ATLTF build-off. The word is that they will be ready for a test run by late tomorrow and should have no issue in making the deadline, which as we know is fast aproaching. There's has been some debate as to the exact cut off point for turning in your final pictures and videos, but as far as we know, this should be midnight monday night."

Well guys, due to some climate-inflicted paint issues, I will not be able to take it for a video-ed test run today. However I have the hood repainted, and the rest of the tractor back together. Tomorrow afternoon I will get the hood installed, decals applied, and get a good video of it rock crawling on things around my house. Maybe next weekend after the paint has fully cured I will take it thru some deep mud but the paint has turned out too nice to mess it up while it is still hardening. 

And as you can see I kinda like Corvettes... lol.

Thanks guys! I'm very happy with how the paint has turned out even with the constant rain for the past few days.

Here's some teasers of how the hood is turning out... under fluorescent lighting too...

Here's a better pic of the finished hood. I'm not too sure if I like the angry eyes yet or not.
