Before and After... All the interior tin work looks as if it rolled off the assembly line. The Gorilla Powdercoating makes assembly work much easier. Rather than worrying about scuffing or even chipping the paint, the Rad Rides crew can breathe easier going in and out of the car.

Here, the adapted Magnumforce K-member and rearend housing are hot out of the oven. The powdercoating on such a part is unbeatable for durability and ease of cleaning from driving. Trepanier had a range of eight shades of gray to choose from for his color choices from just this one color.

The valve covers, manifold, and any other part is coated silver for the 'Cuda's engine. Although the decision was made later to paint them, a base of powdercoating gave the painting a bullet-proof base with no worries of oil stains coming through.

With IB Mix Mineral Blasting and Gorilla Powdercoating completed, the S-60 rearend (by Strange Engineering) returns to Rad Rides to await installation as the next part in Sick Fish. The S-60 looks trick with a Panhard bar mount, four-link brackets, and support bar with tow tabs all dressed in satin black. Looks ready to handle HEMI power!
