got the basic structure of the Console laid out. Now its time to figure out what to do about the damn shifter. when i go to put the console in its going to get in the way

ouch.. looks like you have your hands full. That is going to be a biatch if its all one piece. Or somehow figure out a way to disconnect the shifter so you could keep it all one piece and the slip a pin or something to reconnect the shifter.

Finally got the truck all wrapped up as far as fab work goes. I dropped the truck off last night with my boy Brian at RF Customs to slap some paint on a few things. Then it comes back for final assembly. Haven't figured out if we should wrap the sides in black leather or the same black carpet. I'm leaning towards the carpet but we shall see if it gets painted
As you can see from the pic, the seam just wasn't thought out correctly so i moved it

well i got the truck all done & its currently in Vegas for SEMA. So here's some pics to show the rest of the progress
Freshly Painted Liners
Striped the darker purpler with a lighter purple outline courtesy of my boy Big Johnson
Test fitting the console after paint
got the sub hooked up
This is where my Halloween weekend started to go to shit lol. Thursday evening i started the final installation / clean up of the truck
Interior almost done
Had my baby helping me polish the wheels
Interior all buttoned up
Since the compressors were sponsored, they had to be visible inside the bed. this is a temporary setup for SEMA so this will change
By morning i was all done with her & got her loaded on the trailer to haul it to Austin (3.5 hrs) from my home so another club member could haul the taco & his ladies C10 that they built to SEMA
I left my house around 10.30 & my buddy told me to be prepared to work. I thought he was kidding cause he was literally killing himself to get this truck ready I roll up on his house to see the truck in this condition
Interior guy was almost finished & the front suspension was all torn off. Brakes still needed to go on, motor still needed to be wired, & the air suspension needed to be plumbed & wired Needless to say we werent able to get the motor wired up but we got everything knocked out before morning.
I left his house after we unloaded the taco & it was around 4 am & i drove home (3.5hrs i remind you). So all in all i was up for 2 days straight & slept all weekend. I didnt party saturday night & i didnt trick or treat sunday night lol. I can say it was all worth it cause these truck came out sick!!
Need to get some motor shots because its just as pretty as the exterior lol

the neon is still at my ex wife's house.............she is being a cunt
Posted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 8:27 pm
Most ex's are. Just kick in the front door like my dad did. Unless you've already signed over the house to her, that is...

we have a temporary restraining order on each other as part of the divorce process that prohibits me from entering that home without permission or damaging any of the joint property.

Oh. Well then, that would be a bit of an issue.
