Just attempting to make this ride perfect...
Thanks for the info on the armrest I'll try that as soon as I get a chance.

Here is what I did to the back of the front bumper. For better protection it has been coated with the same rubberized undercoating I used on the frame and bumber brackets.

So what is the rubber coating you used for the bumper brackets up front? What's the purpose?

Protects against rust, and is alot more durable then paint. It won't chip off if a rock hits it like paint can do and leave a spot for corrosion to set in.

I like how that looks alot more than any other rubberized undercoat. Usually that shit is all gommed up and just looks like shit, that however looks 1/2 ass smooth but gives a little texture, looks good.

Yeah it's good stuff, there is still a few other areas needing to be spayed with it. Like the back side of the rollpan and other areas of the frame.

Here are a few pieces that got primed today. The rear monitor section is only primed to seal the different layers of fiberglass, bondo & plastic in prep for glue and leather. The bottom of the driver's and pass seat trim is being primed for a shot of black w/ flat clear.

Some dust and shit got caught in my drying clear coat so I may need to shoot clear again after some sanding we'll see. The Air Dam got hit with the same undercoating on the back side and is now due for primer and paint. I also did a little bit more on the seats, and covered the driver's bottom with the black cover only to find a cut in the side in the most visable spot....Oh well, guess I'll be searching around for another one of those, or maybe get it repaired enough to not be noticable.


















This is the 2nd row frame from an Avalanche that I took the seats from. If anyone is interested you can have it for $25 (for the box and packing materials) plus the actual shipping cost.
