nice exhaust like where it exits. but one question, since you took out spare tire was there enough room to be able to do dual exhaust over irs?

 

[reg442]

Yea there is room but you will be limited on what you can do

 

[Expedition]

clean up the frame!

i had my truck undercoated when i first bought it in 06 and it now looks like that again, i have no garage and pittsburgh always snows so there is always salt down. any suggestions on what to do to keep it from looking like shit?? keep in mind i don't have a lot of $$$$.. lol

 

[nvycrmn]

walmart spray can undercoating. cheap way to undercoat the truck. wont last super long but will do for the winter.

 

[GAINMOB]

so reg442 where you been at?

i've been working overtime @ my main job and taking a lot of side jobs to get the kids christmas and school shopping done. yea, thats right i get the kids (4 of them) the things they really want for christmas before the summer is over and then we don't have to worrie about it later.. also been working on a diffrent project... 1969 cutlass 442, hence the name reg442..lol.. the expy is boring to me now that i still can't make the floor shifter work...

 

[reg442]

shave doors and get poppers...its on my list...

shaved door handles? idk about that one, i had a 75 cutlass and i had nothing but trouble with them and i refuse to use them again.. thats just me thou. post some pics when your done thou i would like to see cause that will change the look up big time if you do all 4 handles. sorry i never got back to you on the tpms sensors best i could do was 78.00 each

i thought about lambo doors too...but thats old...it was going to be 90 or 130 degrees forward...again, thats old now...but i'm defenitely doing shaved doors...right now $$$$ is the problem...my wife wants me to retire from the Air Force in 6yrs...i want to do it in 10yrs...she's afraid of the fighting in afghanistan...says i came back different this time...turned into a soldier for 15 months...Air Force dont go outside the wire...i dont think im different...but when you're fighting for your life everyday...i guess...defenitely not like being back in the hood on the streets...but thats all i had to revert to...

AND HERE I AM TODAY!!! i loved it though...thats probably what has her concerned...LOL

what probs did you have with the shaved doors?

 

[GAINMOB]

Remove the roof rack, get the arizona beige running boards, paint your mirror caps on the mirrors, remove the window visors, post more pics of the front and rear, also debadge the tailgate if you haven't done so...

i wouldnt take off the rack...change upper/lower grills...i like visors but not in-channel...so i'm going with outside visors PTM...NEON!!! blue neon underbody kit...dust shield behind wheels PTM blue...thinking about green for mine...blue interior lighting

does anyone know if they make mirror tint in different colors?

 

[reg442]

@ bhsoulja 1st off thanks for fighting for this country.. i can understand that it may make you a little diffrent to the people that are used to the person before the war. anyway back to the truck talk. i'm glad you didn't do the lambo doors.. they went out with spinners..LOL. i haven't found a grill that i like yet,i did see 1 that was not a bolt over it was the whole grill mesh with the ford emblem and bottom too much but 635 was out my range. so i think the factory grill ties in good with my wheels. no neons for me sorry. and NEVER use dust sheilds on a everyday driver... you will burn thru brakes warp the rotors and damage the chrome on the wheels..

 

[GAINMOB]

no prob...all in a days worth of work...rather fight for a cause (America) than banging on the streets with 2 opts...dead or jail...yeah lambos are old and i never liked spinners...unless theyre Davin Street Spin wheels...i'm not a fan of the FORD emblems...i covered mine but what about painted mesh or painted vertical billet grill...i like the contrast of the EB trim myself and thought about getting my grill PTM green...not sure how it'd look though...wish i had the vertical...they werent out when i got mine in 05...i dont think they were...i saw on Carsponsorships.com a neon grill...i might have to check it out...i havent found the right mesh grill thats attractive to me yet...

thanks for the pointer with the dust shield...noted...

Shaved handles are cool....but for daily use I would pass. We shaved the handles on this wide body Charger we just finished and already there have been some problems with the remote and solenoids.

It does clean up the look though...
