brakes look badass

BudRacing · 08-06-2008, 01:23 AM

Can't you just take a router to the edge of the original amp tray?

i could have done that, but the tray i made before was shitty, plus i left the shed door open the night before last and it got soaked when it rained. i think the 3/4" mdf turned into 1.5" mdf

greencactus3 · 08-06-2008, 01:21 PM

your little white boxes with red Xs suck...
work blocking sucks...

NevurMind85 · 08-06-2008, 06:40 PM

amen to the work blocker. there is a way around that but im always to lazy to work around it.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-06-2008, 11:49 PM

got my connector to run my bass knob through box and be eaisly disconnected. i bought the end connectors and luckily guy at my work had just enough wire and the crimping tool to do this.. i thought it was a harder process putting on the connectors lol..

got my amp tray made and started putting it in..

yes i meant to leave it up a little. i like the look of it.

bmxbang · 08-06-2008, 11:57 PM

dang looking good, i like the look of it sitting up a little as well just to show it off a bit.

kovz34 · 08-07-2008, 12:02 AM

that thing is a beast!

cpolaris502 · 08-07-2008, 12:47 AM

that shelf looks great! i need to start planning my sub box.

BlkS10Kid2002 · 08-07-2008, 10:15 AM

nice man... are you gonna have a quick disconnet setup for the power cables and rcas? that would be pretty cool if the whole thing was easy to pull out. also i think it would look damn sweet if you could color match the ends of the amp to the truck. also maybe make some lil corner pieces for the ends of the amp.

Xtreme24 · 08-07-2008, 11:55 AM

looks badass, chris

yes the power, ground, rca's, remote wire, bass knob wire will all be quick disconnect. i dont remove the box alot, but when i will have to. it will make it super easy. also easy to steal.. but i dont go alot of places i cant keep an eye on it. plus i got an alarm so im not super worried about it.

and paint matching the amp covers is a good idea. ill see about doing that. id like to buy a little bit of the pewter paint and spray them and my door cups. we got paint guns.

and instead of doing the inset part of the box in black vinyl, me and my buddy were talking about it, and think a tan vinyl would look better with the tan carpet. cause i dont have any black on the truck.

thanks everyone else, i cant wait to get it back in and done!

Wicked Mayhem · 08-08-2008, 02:09 PM

got my lines today.

and bought some caliper paint, brake fluid, and brake cleaner. going to buy a bunch of paint to paint the frame and fenderwells as well.

im hoping to start on it tonite. if not, early tomorrow morning!

greencactus3 · 08-08-2008, 02:41 PM

: for synthetic brake fluid....
you are going with braided soft line... why go back to squishiness

BlkS10Kid2002 · 08-08-2008, 02:41 PM

nice man... cant wait to see the brakes all done up... I used the brush on caliper paint but im curious how the spray comes out.

BudRacing · 08-08-2008, 05:23 PM

You got some clear for that caliper paint? I'd highly recommend it. Nice Brake lines BTW.

Wicked Mayhem · 08-08-2008, 07:37 PM

what kind would you recommend? cant it be bought at an autoparts store? thats prolly whats in it, im not flushing the system, so if it cant be mixed o well. im used to stock sized warped brakes. anything is an upgrade

i got some duplicolor clear here. ill see about putting some on if i remember.

and i already got started. got the truck in the air and the wheels off. came in to let it cool down a little before tearing into it.

brackets all done.

and i finally got a fix it ticket for my window tint. it metered 4%

im surprised it took this long to get caught. he didnt notice my tint strip was to dark along with its past the line. im gonna go ahead and remove it too while im at it. then setup an appointment to get it redone.

purplepassion · 08-08-2008, 08:10 PM

did you only make one set of brackets?

Hell, ever since MDF came out, that's all I got. Boat-loads and boat-loads of 1.00" and 0.75" for doing systems in my cars, friends cars and custom home audio/home theater loudspeaker and subwoofer builds. I'm sure over the years I've blown well over $5000-6000 on MDF alone, and that's on the low side!

cpolaris502 · 08-08-2008, 08:52 PM

oh sweet! doing anything to the rears or you just took the wheels off for fun?

and it should say on the bottle of brake fluid if its ok to mix with normal kind.

i have all the brakes and lines off the truck. got the rear calipers apart, about to paint them. friend came over so i bs'd a lil.

gonna do some grinding ont he passanger side spindle after that, than paint everything and call it a night. pics later since im sure someone wants to see a painted blazer frame.

V8Blaze · 08-09-2008, 12:09 AM
