bye bye

 

looks good, im about to start on my sas, so im tryin to get up some ideas...is there anything that you would have done different if you could?

 

yea i would have probably started doing that whole thing way back ,lol. no but seriously i got ONE advice,take your time,dont rush it!! thats when you start doin stoopid stuff!


now for a little update i got so much stuff comming in its just insane,its like its gonna be chrismass sooner than last year!! im doing the body job along with interior right now,im done with pretty much all the grinding.im looking foward to give pics of some more construtive stuff,but i need a little time!!
and for the seats i opted for thoses found them on ebay;
now i know there not corbeau but i was kinda short on the cheez!
keeping more bux for a winch

they are yonaka ronin style seats

 

i have that same welder man now i know it can do some good welds i might get the 220 set-up at my house and start working up on mine lol

 

yea it works alright, but you need to have perfect conditions,meening you need exact rod for situation at the right amp set,wich is hard cause its a damn lever lol,and grind everything good,make sure your ground is very close,dont run anything at the same time,like garage heater ! and stay as steady as possible ,dont change your wrist angle,always go at same speed.and your all set!!


anyway heres a little update;trying to do interior design ! now for those who doesnt want to spend to much doe on interior,and wants somethin dope,heres the receapy;

one can of spray feather(glue)
tissue (at any textile distributor,and color of your choice)
foam(about 1/4 inch)
hot glue,(gun)

for ALL trimmings including;dash,side panels,front panel,ect...every plastic crapy looking parts
USE ;2 cans of gravelgard of premium quality(usualy black)

cost= about 60 bux for everything lol

check it out

door panels;



foam;



glue;



tissue,i got this one for almost nothing,and it looks amazing,i just like black its just classic!
the picture looks like crap but its a deep black;



ok now listen carefully
-you have to cut your foam to perfect size,with holes,then glue with feather glue the tissue on the foam
-then you insert your whole set of foam and tissue inside the lip of the window trim,then you glue the back side of panel for nothin to be moving there
-then you featherspray the rest of back panel as it doesnt need as much strenght as the window trim part
-at last you revert you tissue inside the panel and you hot glue the tissue while your puting a little tension on the tissue! and voila!!MAKE SURE YOU STEAM PRESS YOUR TISSUE,leave no ugly deformation as it will show for sure!!

ILL UPDATE THIS POST SOON IAS I GET MORE PICS OF PROCESS !
trace and cut;


make sure you have some extra on the sides



steam press;



glue with feather spray and cut the side snug with foam(the part that goes underneath the window trim);

heres how you make it fit,heres the tricky part,you have to hold that piece inside the trim while you flip the tissue along with foam,and shoot hot glue as close as you can to the inside part of trim!
then you finish the rest of surface with featerspray as it doesnt need as much strenght as the upper part!






but heres the result:
side panels;






visors(dont use foam for visors);

picture was taken before finished product,need to trim a little more on the sides!!

picture was taken before finished product,need to trim a little more on the sides!!


roof; (the roof is real tricky,try to feathespray small areas at a time.cause ull get screwed!)
start by hot glueing the trim part inside dont put to much glue cause its gonna show!




back panel;





NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A PERFECT HOT ROD INTERIOR,but for those guys that need a fresh inexpensive hot look and comfi interior, im saying go for it!!

 

alright now i know wut your thinking why the hell he bought some gravelgard?
well my friend,heres somethin i discovered and might be the next generation in matter of simplicity when it comes to interior design!i was kinda real tired of that ugly grey,used and abused!

i didnt wanted any kinda paint for dash ,trimings ect(scratch off easily).. so i tought to myself why not gravelguard,look hows it pretty lol:

NEW UPDATE;

STILL WAITING FOR MY SEATS;

 

Got the axle stripped down this weekend...the trunnion bearings literally fell apart when I took the knuckles off to get the pea soup out...but all the new stuff comes with the rebuild kit. Other than needing some more cleaning/blasting/paint all the parts look good. Burnt a hole in my pressure washer hose so I didn't get to finish cleaning them all up but should this week as long as the weather holds out.

Been a busy weekend catching up from being sick this week some.
