painted with Krylon Fusion satin black paint, cost me 9 bux. im gonna wipe the paint dust off it tomorow and do one more coat since it got dark. the flash makes it look weird in some spots but to the eye it looks uniform and **** good IMO. plus ill be tinting the windows soon and the entire windshield so no sun will hit the dash and mess it up or anything

im gonna wrap the glove box door in tweed. i gotta clean the inside and paint it black just so its black if its opened even though itll prally scratch off if i put anything in there besides paper

this one came out weird, looks a little tan still but it has to be the flash becuase i cant see it in person

new batt terminals, i gotta secure the battery better and fix that rusty battery tray umong other things..... lol

by by exhaust

doors and fenders (and front/rear bumpers) for $100 i bought (power windows/locks)

comin together nice, curious what paint/prep do you do to the dash? I have never had good luck. Also is that shit 4x4? If not it needs to go down about 5 inches.

painting it Intense Blue (stock dodge dakota r/t color) with black grille, rims (already black) headlights, tails, and tint.

minus the lift.

thanks

i just degreased it and used a toothbrush for the parts close to the windshield that were hard to wipe, and the corners etc..dryed it, was gonna paint it tomorow but i decided to just paint today and illl add one or 2 more coats tomorow. no sanding priming or anything. just Krylon Fusion plastic paint (satin black)...they make it gloss black too but i didnt want that

and its a 2wd, i have 2" blocks in the garage that have been sitting around, im gonna put those on to at least level it out, later on i might lower it all around even more, but for now 2" in the rear is all its getting //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

this wasent supposed to be a project dont get me started with a blowthrough

Think I'm gonna build a sealed box today for a few 8s. Not much room so I'm not even gonna bother with porting it, I think 4 sundown 8s on about 1000-1200w sealed (like .3 per sub) will be nice.

if you wanted a dakota for a daily driver i would've traded you mine for your mini...

good work though, i might have to try the tweed thing on the plastic on my truck, its all worn to hell

 

[orangecounty1 10+ year member]

I wanted a truck, I almost got a ranger but ended up with this. It drives pretty good, air is cold, auto ******, believe it or not... I'm more comfertable in it than the mini becuase the mini with the wall is cramped for space and driving every single day gets old.. Now I have a spacious bench seat and plenty of leg room.

That's why the sealed box is gonna be so small becuase I'm leaving the seat all the way back, I didn't wanna move it up to get more room for a box, as the point of this was to get something more practical for a daily

Now robin is trying to get me to do a blowthrough.....lmao
