Some DA parked his Dodge so close to the Beastmaster I couldn't get the seat out the side door so I couldn't put the rear carpet in today...arrg!
What I did do was try the duplicolor graphite wheel paint on one of the nasty wheels...it came out kinda odd...

I love this thing.

I came up just short of what I needed for carpet with the berber remnant so I decided to use some cheap outdoor carpeting from Lowes. It went in pretty easy, just need different hardware to screw the floor in with and I can get to the seating issue. I will probably make a throw mat outta the berber left over to put at the feet of the rear bench.

I tried a different paint on another wheel...this is regular hammertone silver. Opinions?

Duffil · « **Reply #188 on:** Jul 22, 2007, 09:26:14 PM »

yeah, silver looks WAY better. Are you gonna try black as well?

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #189 on:** Jul 23, 2007, 07:18:31 AM »

I think I may just go silver, the paint went on much better. If I had the time and inclination to really clean the wheels up the graphite paint would prob go on much smoother, but it just look like crap up close. I don't wanna get into more colors cause I will be painting wheels for the next 6 months.

i actually like the graphite color a little bit better, but i think with the look of the silver on the beastmaster if you plan on keeping the chromed trim tha tthe silver fits the vehicle better
the silver looks more liek an oem would

jimbo74 · « **Reply #191 on:** Jul 23, 2007, 07:29:10 AM »

als owanted to add that the beastmaster is looking tons better than it did when you first got it...

Thanks Jimbo...I am thinking of hitting up the PnP to check out some seats after werk today...see if they have some comfy captains chairs for me.

jimbo74 · « **Reply #193 on:** Jul 23, 2007, 08:45:51 AM »

some of them actually hve pretty good seats, i got a set of sr5 toyota seats that felt good still for $75 for the pair with the seat belts....

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #194 on:** Jul 23, 2007, 05:27:03 PM »

Alcoa's would look real nice on there.

Went over to a couple salvage yards to see about some seats and holy smoke they think those things are worth their weight in gold. Cmon, 2001 Escape seats for $350...no wonder they are all sitting dusty in a shed.

So I got to exploring my options and decided I can probably fix up the seats and seat tracks I have enough that they will be usable for the time being. I certainly have other MCR necessities I need to buy that are higher on the money list than seats. The other thing is, none of the seats at the yards have armrests...vans need armrests.

So here is the fixed up passenger seat bottom...get them cleaned up a bit and throw some new covers on there and call it good for now. Here is the before and after...little better and the sliders at least slide now.

Damn CTENG, I havent been on MC for probablly 2-4 months and this is the first time I saw this thread.............COOL AS HELL!!!!!!!! I would so pimp that thing out if it were mine. You are doing some good work there man. I am suprised the apartment manager hasnt bitched though.

If it were mine I woud be thinkin, shag roof and a disco ball and some old style craiger 5 stars!!!

I would also stick some tall home stereo speakers in there for the tunes and CRUIISSSEEEEEEEE.

So, you are doing this to go to CA for the next big run??? When is it? I am dying to wheel California

september 7th is when they plan to leave i think

Rocksurfer · « **Reply #200 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 08:33:12 AM »

Campfire Girl would have expected something like this to show up in my driveway, now she thinks everyone one on the board here is just like me. We all buy ugly old trucks and think they look cool........

.... and to that I say

Lady Di · « **Reply #201 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 08:34:02 AM »

Wow, this is coming along great! And I agree with the silver on the wheel even though I'm a bit late.
We (the Mammoths) will be leaving FL either late on the 6th or early on the 7th, we figure we'll probably be in CT's area by the 9th and we'll hook up somewhere along I-40 and caravan from there

You guys absolutely must stop by, lunch is on me.

Lady Di · « **Reply #204 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 09:23:40 AM »

are you along I-40 RS? Let us know where you are. PM me the details.

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #205 on:** Jul 29, 2007, 07:34:49 PM »

Went and found the cushiest seat covers I could due to the beat padding in the seats. They aren't GREAT, but I gotta say they are COMFY. I am going to trim and tuck them a bit to get a better fit. only question now is should I use black vinyl to cover the armrests, or some of this upholstery fabric I picked up for the rear bench seat?

BUBBA · « **Reply #206 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 06:35:01 AM »

If the a/c works good i would say go with the vinyl,if not you'll just end up with sweaty arms.The upholstery fabric would probably be the best choice.

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #207 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 07:22:46 AM »

Incredibly, the AC is pretty darn good.

BUBBA · « **Reply #208 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 07:25:11 AM »

in that case go with the vinyl,it'll match your seat cover better

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #209 on:** Jul 30, 2007, 07:26:11 AM »

I think that is what I will do.
