Which defrost vents? You mean the ones on top of the dash? Hell I forgot all about those needing done still haha. I have had a towel covering it up for so long i forgot
For sure man! It’s been way to long haha! I still have to put the big brake setup on it and repaint it. Damn why did I remind myself! Thank you and I’ll post more pictures of it so you can see. Outside looks like a shit box and the inside looks like it’s ready to go to a car show!
Black panels! I got black on black except the pillers and roof! They gray, wanna go all black! Good job! How spendy were the supply's?
Dude I probably have over 800 in just paint and supplies and last night I painted all the trim and still didnt have enough paint. I already went thru 2 quarts of just the sem paint and I'm going to have to go get another one today so I can spray the back 2 big side pannels and the rear window frame trim. I had them make a custom color to match and it cost me 100 bucks s quart! I painted the kick pannels with a spray can of sem landau black and it took a whole can to where it would cover and look OK. The colored paint comes out nice but takes alot to get full coverage. It helps to use a primer that's close to the color. I switched to the dupli-color adhesion promoter and it actually works really well better than the advantage. They can just goes pretty quick a lot quicker than I thought it would. I used a few cans of the Bulldog on stuff to it works as good. But yeah I want you count up all of the paint clear coat the sem paint sandpaper Scotch-Brite pads primer adhesion promoter all that stuff its way up there in price I wouldn't do it again that's for sure. I found companies that sell actual dyes that work badass and I could have just bought a big thing of black for under 100 and would have been good and they say it doesn't chip crack or peel. Look up www.autoleatherdye.com the stuff is badass. There are other companies that sell it to. You can wipe it on with a sponge it they re omend spraying it out of a gun to get a more uniform look
I was way off! I figured 2 or 3 bills. Ima check out tha dyes. Thinking about it! Thays alot of work, its alot of parts and its all done individually? Keep at it bro! Looks good.
And don’t forget he has a couple (few?) grand into the seats.
The seats are super comfortable tho. I have drove it around the neighborhood the last 2 nights and I’m impressed. I think the dura foam from the seat shop is where it’s at!! I was suppose to get the seats done for 150 each but the guy that I had do them is one of those guys who keeps asking for more money saying how hard something was. Hit me up first for an extra 250for more “supplies” and a few. Ore times after that but he did a killer job on them and I’m happy so it’s all good. It’s the material that cost a grip but I got a smoking deal on it. The material I used was Douglas leather , and it’s aircraft grade so it’s fire retardant I guess.each hide goes anywhere from 900-1100 or so depending on the sq. Ft. I’m trying to remember how many hides that I took him. Either 3 or 4 but he used them all.i think it was 3. So yeah the seats have around 4000 into them which just sounds full on retarded if you ask me! I have about half that into them which is still a lot. I don’t see how katzkin or the others can sell them for under 1000 unless it’s shirt materialand mostly vinyl
I had an idea of what his goal was but looking at the pictures!!!! Phuuuuck! Its not what i thought. It looks really good. So????? I am assuming there will be no eating in the car?!?! Lol
Haha that's what a friend of mine asked me also. He also sad "so,...are you going to like freak the **** out if someone spills something in here". Thing is, I dont drive that truck hardley ever.maybe put 500 miles on it in the last 3 years. I mostly use it to just go trash around in the desert with it. So i will try to keep it nice but i know accidents happen. I was talking with one of the Reps at the company Douglas leather that makes that weather and asked him what kind of cleaning stuff and conditioner I should use on their leather and he told me not to use anything at all and if I have to just a light detergent soap and water. He said there were others already treated and will never need that so we will see about that
