Chillin's shtuff

I just realized that im posting in reverse again. This is my 1929 dodge brothers fast six. The body i spoke of in the last post. Gonna be channeled over the frame 4 1/2". When its set on the middle frame rails will be only visable 1/4" due to the 3/4" rubber body mounts that will be used. The interestin thing is im actually keeping the hood and side covers. Every rat just hangs the engine in the wind. I wanna be diferent. However its cool as shit to see the engine so it will be easy to remove ;) Night all

On a more positive note. Tada!! Lazy ass got some shit done. Frame tacked up all in place with the proper angles and alignment front to rear. Next is engine and trans cross members and a driveshaft loop. Then in goes the engine and trans. Body on top and all the little stuff like brakes and stearing. You know the non-essentials.

Well.... Got my Christmas lights up finaly. Lol. Need to troubleshoot so no abs srs tpms or esp. Back to no driver aids. I love it wheel spin hand brake fun you know the fun stuff that is all about being fun and inefficient. But the lights are killin me. More than likely its a wheel speed sensor all crusted up from salt and winter bs.

Sleep now. Nomore shitposting.

Its very warm for 1am in northern Illinois. But its a cheapo Chinese radio. No way thats right….

Im also running out of walls. Lol

This truck has my shadowbolt tag on it.  You know i still got my purple and black paint from the other truck.  Maybe i will give her a new look to more suit the plate. I really want to.

The wheels had to go.  I liked them on the wagon not the sedan. so got some blq rotiforms in the flavor of 18 x 8.5 et45 with a set of 225/40 rubbers.  Im getting older and decided to not have much stretch or super low car for a daily.  She still has the splash guards in the wheel wells.  It rubs lightly on hard bumps and corners.  I might have to hand in my euro car guy card.

And some chrome sticky things. I look so angry in the sun trying to take pics.

Now if i could go lower. Stupid axles. Gotta get crazy with the welder soon.

Wheels on! Kind of a big surprise, they ride fantastic for a 40 series. Mirror covers are next. They get the same dip as the wheels. Then I think I'm done for this season. Lol those of you that know me it's not a lie...... maybe bending the truth? Anyway, I must press on got bills to pay and cars to get steady for the season. And roll in pic 2. Time to start the cutlass. She needs radiator, rear control arms, bushings, intake gasket, shocks and springs for rear. Good news everyone! I got all the parts over the winter. Springs came with the car when I bought it.

OK! So last post of the night. Changed plans. Peeling off the dip revealed how shit the respray of my car really was. Whoever sprayed the car forgot to sand it. But more likely thought adhesion promoter was a substitute for doing a good job. Most the respray came off with the dip. Pic one is all resprayed clear coat sanded off. Pic two all white omni epoxy. Pic three all tape outs done. Mix some black with white. Spray the gray. Then black not pictured. And final shots of paint. My dog Izzy too. And my buddy cross the streets foot.

Friend got a phone pic of it. It was driving my coworkers nuts. Like they all got some wicked ocd. Mines selective. P.s. Sorry for the rapid updates. Just got done being sick and shouldn't be doing anything yet. But well enough to be board as all hell. P.p.s. GOT one more coming.

OK I got ahead of myself. Tore all test dip of my wagon. Then realized.... ooo pics. Damn! So hears the one I got when the rear bumper was the only thing still in dip. This color is cotton candy from DYC. 2 color flip. I mixed this directly into the black self thinned dip in a 8g to one quart variety. Let me tell you, this was instant coverage. I was thrilled so only 2 coats went on. light coats at that. Well here's the tough lesson I learned. Plasti dip must go on thick. At least 2 light tack coats followed by NO LESS THAN 4 heave wet coats of base. Then 3 or more coats of top coat. My and my buddy's hands where wicked tired pulling the thin stuff off. It took forever! So thick application. No cheaping out.
