Colorado Zack's build

putting Zack's rig back together
I think Zack painted the black on the grill already , but because of his drive , lots of bugs , so I cleaned the carcases off + the argent part was not that nice , so I taped , sanded and painted it

and .. also front seats are done ...
added some new foam , as Zack was saying they weren't comfortable anymore . Zack has the roof off quite a bit , so he wanted a product that would work in the out door environment .. the main "fabric" is rated @ 400,000 rubs , and the vinyl is 200,000 .. so should be wear really well and last a long time .

working on the smalls
1/4r windows in ...

IMG_0624_zps6h0lsyyo.jpg~original


wipers and mirrors

IMG_0634_zpskntlu1nf.jpg~original


also went to try the rear window with the key , and dag namit ! it didn't work , so I tore it all a part again . on initial inspection , I noticed the ground wiring was not in great shape

IMG_0627_zpstbwck81y.jpg~original


somebody , some where down the line ? .. used a test light on the wires . a lot of the wires had "pin" holes .and The wires we're very badly deteriorated , so I ended up splicing NEW wire and re looming

IMG_0631_zps8cqe8olz.jpg~original


new back up bulbs , cleaned the lenses , and lubed the lock

IMG_0623_zpsw7b4a24x.jpg~original


I don't remember if the window was working or not when I got it , I think it was ? but the stress of gate removal was maybe what did it in .. in any case .. it works perfect now !!

new ball joint spacers installed

so .. a little incite on the panel builds ..
Zack asked for a " water resistant " solution to the deteriorated and warped cardboard backed interior panels , so as you saw in the previous pictures I made some FRP backings .. as well as the rear panels I already make , the interior has begun ..

so started first with the rear panels ..
covered in foam , and then "stitched" new covers ..

IMG_0649_zpsydjvteut.jpg~original


IMG_0650_zps5vgu7t8s.jpg~original


I guarantee these new backings will NEVER warp or rot

.
 
Zack is coming on the 24th , so yes , I am done now , and waiting :)

but here are a few

new door panels

IMG_0700_zpsihjfxscw.jpg~original


and stripes .. cant show the "final" product , but will post these .
Zack bought these from james dean creations , and brought them with him when he dropped the truck off . because of the flared and round fenders , we couldn't use the whole kit , in fact , it was a bit of a challenge to fit , but we did it .. I wish we could have done our stripes .

anyway ...

IMG_0688_zpstck7c9wt.jpg~original


as you can see , they would be great for a stock unit , but this is now far from stock , so we did have to modify



.
 
Truck is beautiful. Where did you find the clips for the sail panels? Been looking for those for awhile now. Thanks.
