Nothin beats smoked tail lights on a black truck, they look deadly

Did my 97 Short box, thing looked wicked as well.

I had it in my head to have them tinted.
Then, yesterday, I stumbled across this stuff at VatoZone.

Interesting...

Anybody want a box of 4x4 magazines?

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Got any old 4x4Power mags in there? Woulda been 1998-2000 or so.

Nah, sorry….

All these are under 2 years old.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

Probably got those in the bathrooms then.

I figured most of us religously purchased 4x4 mag's.
So, no one would want them.

Just figured I'd try.

See if any of your local libraries have a periodicals room still and if they want them. I used to do that with mine when I lived in my home town.

That's actually a really good idea.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

The county south of mine actually has book drop off bins at the local grocery store. Every time I have a novel I've read and can't sell I just drop it off in those. They can figure out what to do with it.

Turbo....

Ive been reading up on DIY turbo install's.
I really only need a few more parts, then, it's goin' on!!!

When I'm done, I'll have spent $600 on my whole turbo setup. (Incl. Intercooler.)
Not bad for 100 more horses.

That's not to say that my tuned Injector Pump, Injectors, and Head Stud kit won't be over $1,000....

So around $1,600 for the an Intercooled, Turbocharged motor;
That won't blow headgasket's at 12-14lbs. of boost.

I'm also thinking about either methanol, or propane injection,
But I'm just starting to look into that.... any tips would be helpful.

I wanna make newer trucks cry, up the hill.....

You're never gonna make the newer trucks cry going up the hill...

Water/methanol mix, or nitrous. No propane.

I meant my friends newer trucks...
I know there's not much competing, it's like a turtle race.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I figured I'd do some stuff today.

Because this is ugly...

Anyone know where to buy this under-hood stuff?
Or an equivalnt product?

This seems baaad....
Where does this wire go?

Eww.... [New wires and batteries soon.]

Can't wait to tear into this thing....

This will look a LOT different soon...

....

For good measure....


This is exactly what the color looks like irl.

So do you have any close ups of the paint's texture? My buddy just sprayed some Rustoleum flat black on his motorcycle's fender and we have orange peel going on. Just a trial to see how it looks but wondering how smooth you got yours and how?

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

It all depends on the prep-work.

I have spot's that are perfectly flat, while others have orange peel.
My paint is NOT perfect.

The way you prevent orange peel, is by sanding the surface perfectly smooth.
Then, de-greasing, and cleaning, the hell out of it.

 

[AJMBLAZER]

He just scuffed the plastic good and sprayed it on and is self admittedly NOT a master painter. Still, the coverage on it and the pitted piece of metal I used as a test piece don't look bad. Orange peely but not bad at all.

 

[TheBeast_88K5]

I love the look it has.

Prime, sand, prime, sand, paint, wet-sand, flat-clear for best results.
