do I also need to buy the prep spray?

 

I would recomend getting some real fine grit wet sand paper and a clear coat that's UV protectant. Wet sand after a few coats of clear then buff it out and it'll look real smooth... Just a suggestion.

 

Thank you again!

 

I've never used the prep spray, I guess it couldn't hurt. Sorry

 

yes sorry to hijack everyone

 

No problem. Ya I used vht spray. I masked off the reverse light so the clear still shows, looks cool IMO.

 

Sub box continued.

 

VHT makes excellent paint products! I use the VHT wrinkle paint for matching OEM honda powder coated valve covers. You honestly could not tell the difference between the VHT cover and OEM new.

 

That looks awesome!

 

 

Its coming along nice!

Not sure if I or someone else mentioned it yet but for sound boxes MDF works better than plywood because it doesn't resonate the sound threw the wood.

 

Thanks!

We (the car audio community) actually prefer Birch ply over mdf. I haven't used mdf in years lol

 

just messing around tonight, apparently the drivers door has been replaced at some point in its life. i did notice when i got the truck that the 2 front windows are different (you cant tell unless you notice the little logos in the corner are different on each window). guess this is why haha.

makes me wonder...



got some goodies in though. 100' of 12ga Knu Konceptz wire, and 20m RCA's (one 2ch and one 4ch) the pioneer 4300dvd i already had.



and im getting some ideas here. not 100% sure, but at first i was just going to mount amps back here and maybe make a large ford logo type thing and stain it to match the OEM wood, but i think i may throw an LED tv there. i was out camping this weekend, and later in the night when we were kinda bored of just sitting around talking etc, i thought it'd be cool if i had a tv and i could just plug my phone into the hdmi port and throw on a movie or something. TV's are cheap enough now a days too. the permanent marker is a rough drawing of a samsung 39" LED tv (only 3.75" deep), and i could put speakers in the barn doors hooked to the TV.

just a thought right now.

a friend mentioned (and i think this would be cool) to somehow make a swivel or something, so the tv can be completely swiveled around so the screen faces the inside of the truck, and then it could be watched from the inside too. kinda cool idea IMO.

 

different door aint a big deal. so long as it seals up correctly and works right no biggie.


i would hate not being able to see out the back window.

 

Doesnt bother me a bit haha
