Current:
Well I've been wanting to try this for some time and never had the nerves to undertake such a large project with flat black vinyl. I've done many vinyl in the past, but this was more complicated.
I wanted to try 2tone semi or flat black upper body line. I got over 10 yds ++++ and went at it. Problem for me was that I jumped right into it after just tearing the interior out for fatmat, so no rest and fatmat is a lot of aches and pains.
So I had to figure out how to do this and decided there was no other way, other than making my own templates to cutout the vinyl to fit the body lines. What a bitch! Contours change everything when laying out vinyl. Went through many templates to get it right. This isn't something I would suggest others to attempt, not for the novice. I made templates out of paper and A LOT of masking tape. I also knew i would be left with hard lines from the vinyl, so i found dark titanium 1/8 pin stripe to hide the edge. Was a good color since i already have dark titanium accents. I'll get into it more, when I get some rest.
Btw, got some Grip Rockers and they should be done on Monday, then I wrap the rear window with the same vinyl and pin stripe to match the rest.

 

I'll take some pix today and more once the rockers are on with the flat black/pin stripe vinyl.

 

Here are some pix, but will try to take some outside today and keep in mind that Grip rockers are not on yet, so more pix to come tomorrow.

 

Some changes were made, took small side rally stripes off and ran the same center rally stripes on the top of the decklid. Mirrors will get done today.....I hope. Big pita!!!!

 

looks great, Jimmy

 

A lot of work! Looks good!

 

Thanks fellas!! Rockers will pull it all in better.

 

HOLY SHIT BRO!!!!!!!! I like where this is going......need to see overall pics.....NOW!!!!

Nice work..
Can't wait to see it with the grip rockers.

..

 

Thanks Chase! Hoping I get the rockers today and that there's no sleet/rain. Keep ya posted.

Thanks Fredrik! I love the look! Really need to see the overall pic.

Thanks Nathan! I still need to wrap the pockets on the rockers and pin stripe. I also opt to not get them with chicken wire and actually found black plastic honeycomb net. It's a perfect match to the grill. If anyone needs some, let me know? I got. 20' of it and um...don't need it all.

Update: 5 yrs and finally my battery is dead. Today I have to go buy a new battery. Will be checking Walmart and Sears. Would prefer not to pay $220 for a battery.

 

Nice...:thumb:

 

Looking gewd Jimmy, can't wait to see final pics.

 

Thanks bro!

Thank you dear! Just spike with body shop and should be picking up rockers this afternoon, but weather isn't looking good.

Btw, spoke with my mechanic on battery and he told me to stay away from Walmart Everlast Maxx and Sears Die Hard Platinum Batteries, they've been replacing a lot of both brands lately. He suggested I go with BJ's, been having good luck with them. $108 , sounds good to me.


Now heading to dealer, my mechanic is getting me their replacement for $120, 750cc.

 

Lookin SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you sir! Will finally pick up rockers today, been almost 2 long weeks. I can't wait to take pix of the overall plan.

 

:kiss: You're welcome honey muffin......:ilovesrtc:

Sounds like a good deal on the battery, but BJ's means something totally different to me. :bigwink:

 

You know it sugar daddy!

 

When can I see pics of the overall ya douche???!

 

Well trying again to finish f'n mirror wrap, what a bitch. Should have them today. Got the grip rockers yesterday and been sanding to fit better, running into issues. Already put flat black vinyl and pin stripe on rocker window. I also put in black plastic honeycomb mesh, instead of silver chicken wire, looks awesome. Have extra if anyone needs some, well about 20' extra, lol.

Btw, don't know if anyone else had this issue, both rockers appear to be too long. With the back ip against the fender, leaves 1/2" extra length at the front. So trying to figure this out. Can't slide it back to even it out, because the clips position will not allow movement.
