So I finally started...

dbornotdb · 06-12-2008, 11:23 PM

I suggest some 1/8" or 1/4" closed cell foam as a backing and then the suede.
Should look sick on those panels.

that's a very clean idea

Kenny_Cox · 06-13-2008, 10:46 PM

Thanks for posting those Jon! I came up with the idea because I didn't know how I was going to go about putting fabric down there, and getting the edges to look perfect. We all know that when you wrap something, it comes out perfect! So I enlisted the help of a pro, and he made me some molds! Woo hoo.

Kenny_Cox · 06-16-2008, 08:33 PM

Bun of a Snitch!! I looked at my panel today, and the damn thing has some sort of bubbling going on, I don't know WTF is up with that. I am going to work on it some tomorrow to see if I can fix it... Also, the headers are pretty much mocked, tomorrow they will get welded, we are making the templates for the firewall right now. I took a couple photos just because things were getting boring.... headers, and the truck in the garage. LATER!

Sorry they're blurry, stupid camera.

Kenny_Cox · 06-16-2008, 11:56 PM

Bubbling solved. I cut the panel to shit! Time to start over.

xtucking22s · 06-17-2008, 01:10 PM

Any clue what caused this bubbling? that sucks hardcore

Kenny_Cox · 06-17-2008, 02:31 PM

I don't know, maybe improper prep? But i did all it said to do. I got some 36 grit (they only recommended 60, but Jon (epicenter) said he uses 36) and sanded on the panel, it should've bonded fine to the wood. But it didn't. Maybe somehow it got wet and that caused it to mess up..... The bubbling is beyond me, I thought it was a defect in the paint, but it wasn't, because they were like little rocks for god sakes, I am probably just going to pay to have it done, which sucks, because I wanted something to be done by me lol.

dbornotdb · 06-17-2008, 06:53 PM

Pics are gone.
I didn't get to see them.

What happen?

Kenny_Cox · 06-17-2008, 07:24 PM

Check your email brotha, I explained it. The panel looks like it did before now, with a big hole in it.

Chappy316 · 06-18-2008, 03:04 AM

wow that was a long thread...

its a shame the beginning is missing so many pictures...

still looks great, cant wait to see it done!

dbornotdb · 06-18-2008, 11:32 AM

No pics in the email.
Get on AIM. I am home for awhile today.

Kenny_Cox · 06-18-2008, 11:47 AM

Alright Jon, I'll get on in a minute. Also, thanks for the kind words on the truck, it'll get there someday!

Kenny_Cox · 06-19-2008, 12:07 AM

Got my headers back today... (sorry I didn't take photos yet) and I am going to be sending them to Jet Hot next week. Also, did some more work on my door panels that I cut apart haha. I think things are going to be coming together more speedy now. I have to take the body off (probably this weekend if weather permits) and my dad and I will make some templates for the firewall, strap the bitch to the cart, and hopefully be taking it to the body man next weekend! As soon as I get it there, and things progress on that aspect, I will feel WORLDS better.

AVdime · 06-23-2008, 12:34 AM

we need updates! I wanna see this thing done. haha

Kenny_Cox · 06-23-2008, 01:01 AM

HA you funny guy! Nothing really got done, I worked on the panels quite a bit, but that's about it. Dad got tied up with some problems with his dually, had to replace the fuel pressure regulator, and the main air conditioner line, after his new belt tensioner rubbed through the line! So, I have a funeral to attend tomorrow morning, bball game tomorrow night, TUESDAY, the body is coming off, officially, for the last time before it's blue!

lade-lo · 06-23-2008, 10:02 AM

I remember just a few weeks ago they stated that there wouldnt be another chapter of NR added for quite some time, regardless of location and rides..., you guys must have impressed him!

Taylor

Kenny_Cox · 06-24-2008, 08:52 PM

um, the other frame you and richie built, Garret I do believe is his real name lol. Eric, and Al. He didn't say it was a for sure deal at all, said we need some work to do, and it would help to attend a show that some NR members would be attending. So, we'll see.

Cool shit tho, for sure make it happen!!!

Taylor

Kenny_Cox · 06-24-2008, 11:15 PM

We are going to try, he mentioned going to the All Star show, which would be possible, unless... I get my job back. Chances are damn good that I do, and if that happens, no way would I be able to make it. If we go to the all star show he said it would drastically help us speed up the process, while if we don't it's still possible, just more drawn out. We'll see what happens.

AVdime · 06-25-2008, 02:05 AM

no mo AV wha??

2001xBlazer · 06-25-2008, 03:09 AM
