poltroon Posted June 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Forgive me ratsun, for i have cyn'd, its been more then 6months since my last... damn, that long? oh well, back at it anyway... picked up beenani's kit from pugz (thanks!), so had find a donation ready pickup for the rest. Found a willing longbed, eager to pass on its otherwise unused parts for a worthy retrofit cause: now to clean this crap up for re-use... Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Some one's spending money on his truck.go broke or go home.haha Quote Link to comment
poltroon Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 got some new bucket seats... side view... look pretty slick, i think anyway... Now I can find a nice center console or reasonable cup holder! Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 looking good man. What are those seats from? can you take good pics of the conversion for the ball joints? I want to do that too at some point. Quote Link to comment
poltroon Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 They're out of a 89 shitzubishi mirage, red with gray interior. They're nice because all 4 corners are almost flat (for easy installation), sit low so my tall ass can stop rubbin' my helmet on roof, and have lap seatbelt assembly that can be easily adapted to fit. ... and of course ill take some notes while I install the front change.

poltroon Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 anyone have an idea for a front apron that covers the rod ends that are so prevalently displayed under the apron (and sadly, oversprayed, etc..) on all these 520/521 trucks? I swear I saw one that was like from a 610/710 on a 521 the other day in some picture.... Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 none that i know of,some guys run the BRE little spoiler but not my cup of tea.I say lower your truck more and just spray it black and call it a day.haha Quote Link to comment

poltroon Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 have this center console idea i'm farkin' around with, what do you guys think? Its just some mdf prototype, but fits pretty well... so far so good. Quote Link to comment
poltroon Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 some more ideas on the theme: sub at the bottom of the console: ... and I broke something on my camera, but you should at least get the idea. should be able to add a 3" drop shelf to either side and attach it to the center console, giving enough clearance for a couple 5+" speakers and tweeters: yeah... what a shit picture, sorry...
