I forget what did those coils you used come out of

Keep going!

the coils are out of a chevy astro van and they are the rear coils. I know a guy who is going to use them front and rear on his jeep. I love the way they flex. It's amazing. I can get like 10 to 13 inches of travel out of them and compress them flat. the only bad thing is once I put my 4.3 in I will have to change them out.

Well I just have the passenger slider, grill, plating on bed and paint and I should be crawlin. I'll let everyone know how she does. I'll keep you updated untill then. If anyone knows where I can get a front grill let me know. I need one, and don't really feel like making one.

well here it is ready for paint.

gotrocks · « **Reply #100 on:** May 11, 2006, 02:59:03 PM »

what color are you going to use

stanley02 · « **Reply #101 on:** May 11, 2006, 03:23:15 PM »

I am going with gunmetal gray on the tub and black on all the tubing and bumpers and all the extras.

gotrocks · « **Reply #102 on:** May 11, 2006, 03:39:39 PM »

single stage?

stanley02 · « **Reply #103 on:** May 11, 2006, 03:46:13 PM »

are you talking like only one coat or clear and the whole shot. I plan on numerous coats and a good clear. It should look good enough to scratch up.

one word.....SICC

Your toy is looking sweet

gotrocks · « **Reply #106 on:** May 11, 2006, 11:56:52 PM »

single stage paint (ie. you don't put a clear over it, its already fairly shiny) not just one coat of it. you answered my question by saying that you're clear coating it. The reason I'm asking is because I can't decide on what I want to do for my paint job once I get there. I'm going to shoot it myslef and don't know if I should spend the money on a multi stage paint job

stanley02 · « **Reply #107 on:** May 12, 2006, 01:53:46 AM »

If your into bashing and scratching your rig all up then I would deffinently go with a stage one. If you put a clear on and shoot it yourself, any time you may want to tuch it up then you will always have to clear a major section of the vehicle to blend the clear. Flat paint you can just shoot it and that's all she wrote. that is kind of the way I see it. I am going to do it nice once and whatever happens happens. As far as I am concerned the beauty marks I get after the paint will only make it look a little more natural.

gotrocks · « **Reply #108 on:** May 12, 2006, 10:50:44 AM »

my thing isn't so much about the look but the cost

stanley02 · « **Reply #109 on:** May 12, 2006, 11:05:42 AM »

ah yes...the cost thing. didn't even think about that and I know paint is expensive. How good are you with a decent enamel rattle can?

gotrocks · « **Reply #110 on:** May 12, 2006, 08:33:31 PM »

oh I don't even want to waste my time with rattle can. I asked my friend if he wanted to do some real flames on it for me. We'll see it'd be totally sick if I put real flames on my toyota. Deffinatly not typical for a wheeler.

stanley02 · « **Reply #111 on:** May 13, 2006, 12:17:17 AM »

Yeah that would look good

toybuilt · « **Reply #112 on:** May 14, 2006, 07:30:40 PM »

Those flames are sweet

6.72:1 · « **Reply #113 on:** May 14, 2006, 10:12:49 PM »

HOLY FLAMES BATMAN!

gotrocks · « **Reply #114 on:** May 14, 2006, 11:52:13 PM »

6.72:1 · « **Reply #115 on:** May 15, 2006, 06:58:49 PM »

because my friend is donig them for free, and I can get the paint for next to nothing. I won't have much into my paint job. I'll get my supplies for jobber cost or less and the labor is free. (sorry for hijacking)

I can't afford paint!

I can barely afford primer to keep things from rusting!

(Add to the apologies for hijacking)
