Soon, have alot of shit going on. Hoping to get some good time in this weekend

at least it is starting to cool down a little bit over there. Funny how when it was 100+ you were out there working on it, and now it is cooling off, your shackin up inside. haha

Lol yea it's been nice this week, mid 80's.

But the nice weather is why I've been busy with other stuff, I will admit I did take off on the kayak for about 2 hours yesterday for some nice R&R. Felt great to hit the water by my self crank up the tunes and enjoy the nice water.

I think the wife will have me busy again with some people coming over but no matter what this weekend I'll be out there.

I'm kind of at a loss right now with what I want to do on the front end, the headlights are killing my plans where they are so they might be getting ditched in favor of some DOT legal kc style lights or something. I want some protection but cant come up with a way to wrap that corner with tube and make it look decent.

 

[Josh40601]

Yea, my pops took my little black truck out this past weekend up to Louisville for the NSRA show. Said he got 18mpg to and from everyday

If i decide to go Exo on the shaggin wagon, i was planning on running the tube all the way up under the lights. I think the front end on the 1st gens look great, so i want to keep it. White Rhino built that exo on his buddy's Ranger that looks SICK as F**K, and i am thinking that is the route that would look best as an Exo.

Edit:

Whoops. Guess i was talking out of my ass again... He didn't Exo the front, just cut it up a bit.

 

[86 slo-vo]

That may be the route I end up going, it's just coming down to wether I want to cut the shit out of the front end or do like he did and just do some trimming

 

[Josh40601]

maybe something like this?

I'm an accountant, not an artist so its not great, but you get the idea

 

[86 slo-vo]

yea doesnt look terrible, i may end up doing something like that.

i need to pick up some dimple die's

 

[Josh40601]

Yea, there is a company, (starts with a P... I'll get the deets) that sells a 10 piece kit for around 200 bucks. And it isn't junk.

edit:

10 die set (20 pieces total) for 250 bucks.
