That dust will wet sand out no problem man
You're gettin pretty slick with that undercoat, looks like it could have come from the factory like that
I hope so, one looks pretty deep...
Thanks, but the only way I could screw up undercoating is by getting it on something I didn't want. It won't even sand away easy, so masking is twice as important. Distance from the tip to the piece is how you adjust the texture.

I’ve got 5 of these delicious creature’s hides in a box, and they match perfectly! Not much smells better then leather!
Got the side of the truck in the shot for some size reference…

Pretty much everything, door panels, most of the center console, sub/amp encloser, etc. If there is enough I might even do a leather headliner.

Thanks
The Dynamat finishing tape came and I finished them both off with one very small section left. So I have another 3 on order to finish this off and for when the engine swap comes. I wanted to follow the curves of the hood for the best look possible. The dynamat logo easily comes off with a alcohol soaked rag, so I find myself in an internal debate on if I should get rid of it. But for the time being I think I'll rock it and see if it grows on me...

Ditch it... it is going one way on some sections and the other way on others.

Ah I beg to differ Sir, I pay attention to these things.
If you'll notice the top of the Dynamat label is faceing inward at the bottom portion of the hood and is followed up the side in the same direction. This was done so that it is upright when standing in front of the open hood on the truck. The only time it flips is at the front corners where it would need to be to keep the Dynamat upright.

That was my point. I figured you INTENDED to orient it so the lettering was upright, but you just can't because of the sides. So you wound up with one pattern on 3 sides and an unmatching 4th side.
Instead of it being the same orientation all the way around, you have flipped orientation on part of it which leads to a break in the pattern and a jarring visual inconsistency. (from a purely easthetic point of view)
if you MUST leave a logo on it (future sponsorship?) Leave ONE logo asymmetrically placed on the back section.
trust me, it will look remarkable if you don;t have any logo at all.

Shopping around for Rotors, Pads, Pad Mounting Hardware, and Stainless line for these Calipers. Basically everything minus the calipers that comes with the 00-06 Brembo GT 4 Piston kit. If anyone has a line on a good place to find this stuff, speak up.
