18yrs old first project

C'mon, you pussy! I took out the rear window and axle from my parts truck in the cold! =P

 

[ranger92]

haven't takin many pictures but ive still been slowly truckin away, the top sheet is ready to be sanded with 400 grit and more or less ready for paint, i laid a quick coat on to see how it was comin and ill sand it off to find anylow spots sometime tommorow, other than that just a couple little spots around the edges and the top peice will be ready for paint.

considering it was way to cold to paint and it literally dripped out of the half frozen can it looks pretty good to me. im getting excited now to grab a heater and go for the real thing

i also got one side more or less done, needs tough up in a few small spots but then this side will be ready for paint aswell, just one more side to go and i still need to make the arm rest install the gauges and it will be ready to go back in the truck!

awsome truck yo...

how much lift do you get from an axle flip? cause I only want like a 2 or 3 inch drop
would a shaclke flip be better for that amount of drop?

 

[Andres629]

Nice, that console is lookin' good!

ive slowly still been working away at this project, its been ridiculously warm for january so i was actually able to do a little painting. ill let the pictutres do the talking

this ones for multi ranger

did my armrest

and when the light hit the painted piece just right i could see a couple more imperfections and that wont do lol

hopefully the next update has a picture of it in the truck with everything hooked up

 

[Andres629]

Gonna paint the sides of the console at all?

 

[ranger92]

naw i kinda like the bondo look hoping to get the sides fully ready for paint tommorow i just laid the bondo on today so i havent done any sanding

 

[Andres629]

Ahh, gotcha. Cool.

 

[ranger92]

mine and andres truck, quite a difference

and i had to test out the posi, when i get new wheels and tires i have a couple sets of tires for the 14 inch rims so ill burn em off maybe get a video of it

now to the serious stuff, i sprayed some primer on the console and turns out it wasnt even remotely smooth, that what i get for not using a sanding block

so some more time sanding, with a block this time of course and it all came out smooth

layed some paint down

3 coats of clear

and shes ready to go in the truck, just need to wire everything up and make a little mounting bracket

my seat belt buckles were flopping all over the place and i didnt want them rubbing against the console and wrecking the paint so i found some new ones

i then picked up some fabric paint and went to work on the door panels, i can't decide if i like the beige and black color scheme for the inside or not, opinions?

let me know what you think!

 

[mc_muench]

it's really funny...I was on this thread on my ipod tonight to save a couple pics of your truck, cause I think its awsome, and now Im on my pc 5 mins later and whos build thread is updated? yours

keep up the good work bro

 

[ranger92]

lol thanks man, slowly but surely im working away at it, next on the list after all the gauges get done up would be some reverse light a bumper and finishing up my hood then maybe exhaust, after that work will probably get put on hold while i start building my pre runner

thanks for the comments!

I love that 2-tone door look. Definitly breaks up the tan color very nicely.

Everything else looks fantastic!!! Keep her up!!!
