Page 2: Pix when the car was still being worked on

jakesankey's 1996 Ford Probe

Due to having the whole car repainted twice, and including everything I've done to the car, there is currently about $10,500 - $12,000 invested in it. Hopefully more, soon =)

I don't have a lot of great pix of the beast yet, but I got a few good ones here for ya.

All the body work and customization is being done by Mike Larson, owner of "The Body Works", in Buffalo Center, Iowa.

I am had the entire sinsei body kit molded on (seamless) and i have 17" konig trouble rims that are goin' on my '96 black probe SE, also. another mod that the body shop did for me is, I designed a template and they are customizing my tail lights. On page two, check out the pics that I have from my previous visits to the body shop to see the pix when it was being worked on. Thanks for checkin' out my baby!

Before checking out the pix, here are a few things that I have on this car.

*Fully Repainted

*Completely molded sinsei body kit

*5% window tint

*Clear bumper lights

*Full exhaust to the manifold, HKS muffler (4" tip) with a dynomax Hi-flow catalytic converter

*17" Konig Trouble Rims and 225/45 Kumho tires

*Pacesetter adjustable short throw shifter

*Ractive shift boot

*Ractive Shift knob

*Bomz Indiglo gauges

*Ractive Pedals

*Kenwood CD player

*Pioneer Speakers

*Custom Tail lights

*All emblems are shaved

*Mesh Grill
=======================================

Here are some of the pix that I have taken so far!
