Completed Project jamest's "RE-SAS"

[james t]

Yea, all of it was done with the roller except a few tight areas i did with a brush. : 3 coats... it took longer to sand and mask it than it did to paint it.

i like it.. i painted mine with a roller too. what kind of paint did you use?

 

[james t]

Its just paint supply house "duck boat" paint with a little extra green in it. I think it was Coronado brand.

Rebuilding the front bumper-

Ignore the gap at the top of the skidplate... its tacked in place just so i can get an eyeball on what's going on- trying to make a decent taper.

Also ignore the writing... im marking cuts and ive also got a couple of PBB guys over here helping me as you can see.

IS that your SpeedGlass?

 

[section525]

Yes and he needs a new lens for it.

 

[james t]

Yes to the first, and most definately HELL YES to the second (i keep forgeting to order one) :

 

[section525]

Will you be dimpling the speed holes cause that would look hawt...

 

[james t]

Will you be dimpling the speed holes cause that would look hawt...

No, but it will have "redneck dimples" aka a short piece of tube welded in the hole and then ground down.

1- I dont have any dimple dies

2- Can you dimple 3/16" ?? For whatever reason i thought 1/8" was the limit

3- Redneck dimples are stronger AND uglier. Keeping with a theme here.

 

[james t]

Nothing to update really, still working on the skidplate. Got the taper cut and the bottom end bent.

First pic is the backside of the "redneck dimples" or whatever you want to call 'em. Second pic is front side, which will be ground down smooth.

 

[james t]

Done. Now i can hopefully start on the shockmounts.

 

[FROADER]

With the "redneck dimples" you could essentially turn a couple of them into a CAI. Hook up some hose from them to the airbox... :

I'm really liking the way this thing is looking.

Hahaha :

Nothing new to report, its been monsoon season here so i havent been able to get much done. Dad just got a Miller bobcat 225 so ive been playing with that. Been a LONG time since ive messed with stick.

 

[james t]

Just got home from Katemcy Texas. Beat on the thing HARD. I dont know how i didnt get much body damage other than a mirror. The rocker tubes are bent up bad, cant open the passenger side door. Gas tank is now down to maybe 10 gallon capacity but still isnt leaking lol.

The front Lockrite blew up and i may have a bent inner C or front axlehousing. Ive got some wicked negative camber on the driver's side now.

Couple of pics and a quick vid-
