hey just thought id post something different on here. these parts are for my datsun 620 truck. it may look like wood, but theyre actually the original steel ones. its powder coating that uses a 2 step process and looks really like wood, i did my lower control arms and my under engine x-member. the straighter the piece the better the effect. this should really blow ppls minds when i got my wheels turned at a show!! i get all my coating done for free because my father in law works as a manager at a coating shop, so why not!!

dude, its going to rot and break. pfft, wood is for the 1800's looser


in all honesty thats pretty damn cool, though idk how i would feel about that look under my car. still cool to look at. its looks so fake like plastic now lol.

thats sick but i think it would be cool to do a whole frame rail and bed like that.

Wow Shady...now that is unique. One of a kind there..I think you should do like your bed bottom that way too. That would be sweet..and different..Thumbs up man...good work!!

I like it. It does look like wood, and such a unique idea.

thanks everyone!!! its really cool stuff and comes in about 7 different styles of wood grain. this is douglas fir. they have cherry knotty pine, mohagany and others i cant remeber. its really only good on straight pieces more like the cross member. the lower control arms have missed spots without any grain due to the systems limitations. normally its used for railings and window frames where you need the performance of aluminum and the appearance of wood. i just thought id be the first!!!
