A Man and his Box

Mox: I was the go-to vehicle for a few Neons at Carisile, and the box was deemed the neon ambulance. Hence, "Neon EMT"

Adam: Why thank you good sir. Normally I agree, however, all the white was a boring silver color, and instead of attempting to match the blackish color of the rest of the parts, I went with fake body color.

I agree here Josh. Looks like they went subtle enough with the parts they had silver / CF, but colormatching is most always FTW.

I need to come see this box.

Liz: They are really tiny, but otherwise quite awesome, i must say! Thank you again for 'em!

Adam: Then do it?

We should get together soon. I miss our conversations.. like our in-depth religious conversations! Yeah, I don't know if you remember, you were slightly intoxicated.

I was actually going to ask you how that was going. Join DailyMile and add me.

dailymile.com

and my username is xdudeitsliz

logs your workouts and mileage. Its excellent.

p.s. I really hope you plan to run that 5k. Seriously.. I know you think it will be hard.. but honestly, I think you have no idea what you are capable of. Just keep running and keep it up..

We took last week off because I was sick and my body ached. But, today we jumped right back into it thankfully and actually didn't have an issue. I think the week off helped actually.

I'm not about to sign up for more things haha, I'm active on enough places. Cardio Trainer logs my miles and uploads to their website/facebook so that's good enough for me. That 5k is still a possibility, but I want to completely the C25K before I commit to anything.

seat covers?? or are they next week??

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 6:24 pm

Good question. He had to help a friend with her car, so I wonder if he even knows...

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 8:11 pm

If I know what?

Seat covers came in and the rear seats are installed. No pictures unless sean wants to post the teaser I sent him. I ran out of time and am off to get food with friends.

Just a few notes: seats are ivory so the white is a cream and not bright white like the rest of my stuff. So, not perfect but good enough.

All and all, so far they were worth the wait.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 8:16 pm

I didn't want to ruin your reveal, so I played dumb like I didn't know if you knew they were delivered.

I'll keep the teaser to myself, but I will say they look damn good so far!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 8:18 pm

Fair enough. Tomorrow the fronts will be installed and good pictures shall be taken!

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 11:24 pm

Teaser pic after all. Oh, and don't trust those colors, the white is -no where- near that much of a match:

Liz · Post by **Liz** » Tue Aug 17, 2010 11:29 pm

oooh.. they look good

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 9:40 pm

Only got the drivers seat on today, and it's not 100% on right now. Fuck having things to do after work and then running out of daylight.

Shitty, shitty pictures GO!

Tomorrow, I don't have shit going on, so everything is getting smoothed out, tightened down more, and the last seat on. I -will- be done soon enough.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 9:42 pm

Looks good... I kind of wish they were as white as the first picture makes them look.

I think you need to use your white paint and make that toy box white as well

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 9:49 pm

Yea, I -really- wish they were color matched, but Ivory is the closest I could get and it's good enough for me. However, my shift and e-brake boot are WAY to bright compared to the seats... so those will be changed out someday for something more cream-colored.

You know, what do you expect for $380 leather seats? The stitching and material are top notch quality. I can deal with the off-whiteness of it.

and eventually, that toy box will be slammed and painted to match

It'll be more of a winter project though when I'm bored inside.

LowNSlow · Post by **LowNSlow** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 9:53 pm

No doubt... they look 100x better... oh snap, VIP Box

The wifey and I were talking and if our truck ever ended up wrecked or something.... we'd turn around buy a Box (same body stylea as yours)

What kinda gas mileage do you get?

lol.... so it's the norm for being 30+

Nice...

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:16 pm

Mind you, that's almost 100% city driving. Except, Carlisle is in there where i was speeding in attempts to keep up with people as well, so that hurt the gas.

But yea, 95% city driving = ~30mpg

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Wed Aug 18, 2010 10:29 pm

Looking pretty good!

seat covers look good

Mr Josh Zombie · Post by **Mr Josh Zombie** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 7:48 pm

Annnnnndddd finally I'm fucking done!
I realized today, I'm actually glad they're not pure, pure white... because that'd be near fucking impossible to keep clean. Off-white is more "battle-ready"

Total time: About 2.5 hours
Number of shit broken: About 6 clips
Cuts/Scrapes/Bleeding: I look suicidal
Fit: Perfect
Finish: Flawless
Overall happiness: 10/10

Sure, the wait sucked, but for the price, these look fucking awesome.

And check this shit out, back seat flaps

Now back to doing nothing with the car for awhile.
