  6. Stripped her down, cleaned up some of the trim pieces with a new coat of flat black and dropped the troutfinder off for her new paint job. Going to be prepping the flares for flat black too! Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk

  11. Late on the reply and my vote was going to be out. Looks great man! Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk
  12. I'm going to reveal it on here once it's done. One hint though: it's a new color that came out this year on one specific vehicle. Nothing fancy, but I believe it's going to take the look of the r50 to a whole nother level of cool! I and my wallet hope i'm right, lol. Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk
  13. Rewired for aftermarket speakers, and ran wiring for system. Entire system running off amp power now vs. head unit. "Vintage" Alpine v12 amp, kicker C2 6.5 coaxial, 10" kicker solo baric L7. Just waiting on speaker box to arrive to get sub installed! Re-ran the cb radio to the glove box. We'll see how functional it will be in their since I will have to take the mic on and off. Barely use it though so may not be an issue at all for me. Also changed out the gear shifter. This has fixed the overdrive issue I was having, just dont have option to turn it on now, but never used it anyways. Vinyl flooring arrived. Not truly premolded imo, but have it leveling out now per instructions. Next step- getting her sprayed in the next couple of weeks! Super excited about the color.

  14. Much appreciated. I am thinking of going dual color on the seats. Will depend on cost. Drivers seat needs recovered. All other seats are in pretty good condition and the leather can just be dyed/conditioned. Like the idea of just biting the bullet and having it done, even if all vinyl!

  17. Hey bud. Welcome back to the states! The key that I learned by trial and error years ago when I used to show my rides was to paint the pieces like your painting a car. Continuous movement from side to side, starting before and spraying past the piece your painting. Stay about 10-12" from the piece. Never just point the spray can at the piece and spray. That causes too much paint to lay in one spot and causes the over spray a lot of people get. I just take my time and spray 2-4 light coats, allowing 30 minutes to 1 hr between coats to avoid running and to ensure a consistent level of paint. I have been pretty lucky with this method. Before you spray the pieces though, sand the piece with some high grit paper like 500+ grit to give the paint some grip. Clean the piece well before painting it. Also, get the better spray paint. I typically use rustoleum paint/primer that bonds to plastic. Hope this helps. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

  19. Update: got the painted pieces installed this afternoon after work. I welcome your thoughts/feedback. Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk

  21. Initial plan was to just change the gear shift mechanism. Got into it and ended up doing a deep clean on the entire passenger part of the cabin. Who knew the shift mechanism plugs are different? Purchased one from a 2000 2wd and the plug is completely different. The rest of the unit is identical as far as I could tell. Didn't think it would have mattered with the manual transfer case shifter. Went even further since everything was already out and removed some trim pieces from the dash and doors and painted them red. Ripped out the carpet and have black vinyl on order as a replacement. Some before and after pics of the floor, painted pieces and the different plugs for the shifter. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk
  22. Not at all blasphemous! About to do the same for mine. Look forward to seeing yours in the Calvary Blue if you go that route. Should have mine repainted by July. Not in Calvary blue though, so don't worry! Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk
  23. I miss the u pull it's back home. I have yet to find a decent u pull it here around ATL. If it's a u pull it yard, its typically already been pulled, lol. When I used to be into show quality builds, the u pull it lots were the ticket to get those "custom" pieces! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

  25. Just an fyi, you technically do not need a passport to cross the northern border. I traveled there last May. Just had my DL, SS card and birth certificate with me to get back in. Dont even think I needed all of that. I will say, it was a heck of a lot easier to leave than to get back in however! Not too bad, just really checked every little thing to make sure it was right.
