The Truck Project. Part 3. --The Interior Part 1--

Here is the interior of the truck after taking the dash and plastic parts out of it
The thing I love about my truck is that everything comes apart with either
a screwdriver, or hex wrench!

Here is the dashboard. not a very good picture but oh well...
(btw that is an airsoft pistol in the pic)

Here are the a/c vents. they were black but I took them apart and cleaned them.
painted em black and red, and put it back together.
I think they look pretty rockin!


Here is a plastic side panel from the cab of the truck.
quite nasty.
most of the panels were in this shape or worse


more random panels to be cleaned and painted...


Starting to paint the panels...


Here is a neat before and after shot of the rear panels.


Side floor panels after being painted.

Random cab panels after painting.
looking much nicer :D



Unfortunately the rain has delayed my installation so....
I shall get back to ya'll with shots of what it all looks like in the cab!




The Truck Project. Part 2. --The Foglights--


Here is the truck before installation.
I originally wanted the foglights to go above the bumper between the turn signal lights,
but there were no mounting brackets that would fit right there.



After the installation.
Zander's behind the wheel hamming it up



Lights, Camera, Action!


Later that night.
Foglights only



Fog's and Bright's





for $20.00 i think it was a good investment. the stock lights on it are horrible.
Even with the brights on it didn't light up the road.

of course now the problem is solved :)

Sharpening Iron Night with Joseph

About a week ago Joseph and I decided to hang out for the night.
He brought along his mower blades and shovel,
and I drug out the sharpening wheel from the depths of our garage.
Here are just some neat pics I took of the sparks while he was sharpening.



One of the mower blades



A different angle on the sharpening.
using one of my many speakers as a stand for the sharpener.



A neat shot. It reminds me of sparklers on the 4th of July



this is just a sweet shot of a ton of sparkelies (sp)
I tried slowing the shutter speed down to get more sparks.
I think it worked :p
