Joe Dirt's 2000 Ex-El-Tee "Deuce"

[Joe Dirt]

I'm pretty sure it's a lie, but I hang on to that hope...

 

[BigRondo]

You gotta have hope. I don't see the extra pounds going anywhere soon.

The interior looks excellent, but the camera flash makes your hair look a little thin up top.
This little grimy area is driving me crazy!

 

[Joe Dirt]

I tried cleaning that, it's worn through the plastic though.

Apparently Sean is trying to drive Joe to drink. What he will drink is another story because so far he has a very WIDE variety of tastes from oil to beer. Hopefully he doesn't try the grim juice he has when hes done cleaning lol

Joe I hate our reflectors too, I miss my lights! I planned on doing the swap in the next few weeks


I figure your the one to ask; is there anything I can do to like "blend" my paint where I took the pinstripe off? Its surprisingly not as bad as I expected, but on the front fenders you can tell up close. I also want to strip my badges to be replaced with newer styles and blend that too.

Haha!! Just a little poke to the detail master

I missed the fact that you dig Henry Rollins first time round mate, he's bloody awesome. Altho' this is coming from a bloke who probably has more dog hair in his X than carpet and only ever think's about detailing his engine, but for the life of me I can't see half of the dirt residue that's pissing you off.
I agree with the less light making you thinner policy, I'm only 200lb when it pitch black.
Apoligize for the incoherence of this post, I'm sobre.

If it's anything, It'll be the Meg's APC. Sean, you'll understand, it makes your heart grow fond. The stuff smells delicious...

I can't stand how dark the truck is with just the domes. The front doesn't bug me, but I like the floor illuminated so mini-me can get out safely. I'm planning to just tap them to the puddle lights, the wire is already in the door.

Didn't you see the filth on the rear seatbelt bracket?!?

Rollins is the f'n man. I met him in East Lansing before a spoken word gig, and the guy is straight up smart. Pleasure to spend 5 minutes chatting. Haven't written lately, but I did email him and got an answer on an old reissue CD I was looking for about 2 years ago right before he left Indie 103.1 to go back to KCRW. If you like bizzare combinations of music, check out his show:

Just finishing the panels, armrest pad, new panel for the pass. rear, then the cargo area. I want to find a new carpet, as the old one has a massive chunk of epozy glued to it. For now, I can just put my new cargo organizer over it, but I'll know it's there.

Once warm, I can then tackle the exterior, including quite a bit of paint correction. Lots of scratches, but I think the new eg's Microfiber DA system will take care of it.

Wow- still a lot to do... Ugh! Probably won't be any new stuff until next week though.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Oh- Brian- the stripe ghosting... It's tough. If you can hit it with some Ultimate Compound and buff out- it might help, but it usually is a condition that sticks around. Kind of a trade off- no stripe, but maybe some ghosting.

 

[lynchy wa]

Thank's for that link mate! Wicked, I didn't know he had his own radio show. It's now added to my favorite's. Can't believe you met him, foccacian awesome. I'm off to sniff some meg's.

 

[Joe Dirt]

I'm off to sniff some meg's.

You're the lucky one- In my 37 years of life, I've yet to meet ONE woman named Meg.

 

[lynchy wa]

That would be a good name for a band - Meg's Armpit's.

 

[sean99]

A good punk name would be: Tainted Peach and the Green Wieners

 

[Joe Dirt]

What about "Peachy Taint"

 

[lynchy wa]

The Green Growler's maybe? (That's just begging for my name to be in front of it!)

Greg's Green Growling Groover's - coming soon to a Irish strip joint near you (they start off naked and slowly put their clothes on.)

 

[Joe Dirt]

I grabbed a blade and fixed the black marks that were bugging Sean.

...douched

Cleaned up the armrest pad and console.


Here is a 50/50 of the armrest pad, no flash:

And the pad done, no flash:

With flash...

I installed the pad, and realized that something was amiss...

yep- I forgot to clean the outside of the rear control cover/cupholder. WTF?

...after cleaning, so freakin' nice.

Door panels are all cleaned, I still have to run an extraction on the carpeting on the bottoms, but all is well.

 

[1AJeremyD]

Joe- In honor of you, after getting out of a Celtics game, I saw my shifter knob was dirty in the numbers and it drove me insane. Well actually the 30mins I had to wait in the parking garage drove me insane but the cleaning soothed my soul lol.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Cleansing- whether automotive related, or soul related- is liberating, eh?



In other news, I was contemplating a lawsuit against Sean for using my picture earlier in this thread. Problem is, I then used his picture of my picture to show a picture of my scuff mark. With an interest in keeping the peace, I am dropping my thoughts of a lawsuit for copyright infringement by Sean for using my picture so that Sean does not sue me for using his picture of my picture.

Get the picture?
