Black-n-Red interior almost done!


Beautiful job with the paint man! No runs or anything, very professional. Hahaha, might I ask where you got the cardboard you painted all of that on top of? Spencer Gift's shipment boxes are something I know all too well, working there for 2 years now... god I just put out about 27 of those things...never thought I would come across one like this.


Hey dude! My wife is manager of 810 in Chattanooga. Love the free boxes specially for storing stuff which I have way too much of. Good that I can live my 2nd childhood, sucks to have to find places for all of it! :yahoo:
 
Hahahaha, yea man, I zoomed in and saw it was store 810... I am the Assistant Manager of store # 805 in Toms River NJ. Small world man. That is pretty funny. I was admiring the quality of your work and I saw the all too familiar LP tape!
 
my old car

I saw this and thought I'd share what i did to my old car. It was an 89 cavalier z24. Was my first car and I proudly paid $1200 for it. Had it less than a year and the engine locked up:sad:

THEN I GOT MY RANGER!

Let me know what you think bout the car.

PS.
Nitro, not tryin to steal the thread. What you did to your truck blows my spray paint away.
Great job.

Krystal,huh? I remember a commercial for them from about 15 years ago when I was stationed at NATTC Millington, just outside Memphis, where some idiot astronaut is on the moon, and yells out, "Holy smokes, there's a Krystal up here!" or some moronic thing like that. I don't remember if I ever at there or not. I'm actually surprised that nobody has mentioned Sonic at all. Now there's some chow!!!

Nitro, you have truly inspired me. I get to paint my dash soon, also, but not just for aesthetic reasons. I get to completely replace my dash because some numbnut butthead decided he wanted my cd player more than I did, and he wasn't too careful about removing it. I got a replacement dash for a good price (read "free" here, just had to drive two hours to get it), but its grey and my interior is red. I'm thinking about completely changing my interior colors, because I need a new LH door panel, anyway, but I can never find a red one. Figure if I change the color, it won't matter what color panel I get. I'm planning on doing an LED dash light mod, also. Figure I've had the truck for fifteen years, now, I might as well start sprucing her up! Anyway, your truck looks good. Wish I could make it to Pigeon Forge in July, but I think knee surgery is going to knock that out of the picture. Oh, well.

Sonic! now that is where it's at. Here in Oklahoma they are all over the place and i love them!
 
dude sonic is great, that is where every body goes round here, happy hour is amazing, got yelled at the other day, cuz i bought a rt44 and they gave me this little lottery thing and i won buy one get on free rt44 so i turned around and bought 2 more for 93cents and the manager came out and was like you prolly shouldnt have used this now cuz u just paid for like a quarter of drink and made me leave. but going back today.

Good luck on the knee surgery dude! It's not hard ta do, just time consuming. The major part was done on vacation (staycation). I recommend Frog Tape and 24 pk drink boxes (cut em up, great for cutting in corners!) & painter's paper to cover everything not being painted. At my store there are maybe 6 colors to choose from but go to: http://www.vhtpaint.com/wheretobuy.html . It will show you the colors available and where to buy. Duplicolor & VHT are the same company so find out what you like, get de-natured alcohol and some time. Post them when you finish.

Mine is done and the pics are at my Car Domain site. Look below my signature to link. I have all the pics there from start to finish!
 
:shok:WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!:shok:
Whataburger is the best my friend!!! Anyways the isnt a Best Burger Forum...:icon_rofl:
I JUST GOTTA SAY, THOSE SEATS YOU HAVE LOOK VEEEERRRRRY CONFORTABLE MAN!!!! My seats are all worn out... damn...:bawling:
 
i know man my drivers seat is garbage, i thinking of just puting some foam down and puttin a seat cover over it just to be comfortable.
 
i like the gauges man, i have nu immages flame's installed in myne and there kinda dull i think with the incondescent bulbs behind it.., did you just use blue led 904's (i think thats the style?) to light your dash and blower control?
 
Actually 194 blue LED's. They are a tad dim, not as bright as the normal bulbs but that's from a standard plug in without and added LED "booster" or whatever. I like it a little dim cause it's so easy on the eyes. With all the changes it's like a new truck. Don't regret doing it and wish I'd done it years ago!
 
nice, where did you pick the bulbs up at? i checked out stylintrucks.com and they are really pricy like $20 / pair, if i remember right the cluster has like 6 to 10 lights? its been a while but thats still a bit of money from them maybe you know a cheeper source? and yeah it looks like a great touchup, im kinda inspired to start myne as i am attempting to black out my entire ranger...
