Centers were sanded with 180, then finished up with Red Scotch Brite

After that they were sprayed with Self Etching Primer and then sprayed with base coat clear coat.

BTW - the clear is a Satin Clear not a gloss

Agree with Marty on this one, I talked to Kenny tonite to see if I can help him out with a few issues he's facing. And he asked what I was up to and started talking about one of my projects, a Willys Wagon, and that got me in trouble... Now I feel like I need to get it done at a faster pace then I was planning on. Kenny is doing great we BS'd for a few minutes, but he still sounds like he gets worn out easily.

P.S. spy photos of the truck to come in the next week or so. Known for a fact, Marty will have not seen these.

Good Morning All,

When I started this project it was my goal to team up with all of the best builders and build my dream truck.

But it doesn't stop there, in order to build a great project you need top of the line parts.
That brings me to today's post.
When we were looking for sound deadening the choice was simple - Cascade Audio Engineering

www.cascadeaudio.com

I know most of you may have never heard of them but trust me there stuff is far supieor to the mass marketed stuff.
Each kit - yes each kit is designed to satisfy your projects requirements.
Options include:

Car Noise Control Dampers
Car Noise Control Barriers
Car Thermal Products
Car Noise Control Gasketing
Car Sound Level Meter

For Project Syborg we choose Noise Control & Thermal Protections.
VB-2HD -- Vblok Vinyl Heavy Duty Dampening Sheet (.075" Thick)
VB-4 -- Vblok Barrier Pad; New Super Flex Barrier 37 x 54

When it comes to vibration damping sheet materials, there simply is nothing better than VB2 (.040) and VB2HD (.070). VB2 and VB2HD are lightweight, highly formable, vinyl based damping sheets that contain a silica mica and ceramic load incorporated to convert panel resonance (vibration) into low level heat through friction. The VB2 products are odorless and offer excellent cosmetic integration characteristics and may even be painted to achieve the ultimate in OEM appearance.

When applied to the surface directly behind the door trim panel as a replacement for the flimsy, plastic vapor barrier, the VB2 products perform a variety of functions.

Primarily, they act as a viscoelastic vibration damper lowering the resonant frequency of the sheetmetal, plastic or fiberglass substrate. VB2 and VB2HD will effectively turn the doors into a much more solid enclosure instead of the "tin can" that comes from the auto manufacturer. The products feature an extremely aggressive, modified acrylic adhesive that is stable to 250°. VB2 and VB2HD are also Class A fire rated making them acceptable for commercial and residential applications.

Secondly, because the materials are much more dense than flimsy plastic, they act as a vapor barrier and airborne sound barrier when applied over the access holes leading into a door cavity. Low to mid and high frequency road noise may enter a passenger compartment through the doors as well as back wave energy from door mounted speaker systems. The VB2 products perform extremely well in this application to block these irritating road noise and prevent acoustical short circuits.

Professional automotive builders worldwide choose VB2 and VB2HD for the lightweight, high performance characteristics as well as for the extremely clean look of the finished installation. Please feel free to contact us should you have any questions or comments regarding the installation or application of these products.

Good Morning All,

This post is for all of the people that were concerned about the taillights.
Yes, we agreed we needed to do something different with the lights.

So after searching everywhere I found a set of lights that look pretty darn good.

Found them on Ebay of all places
Item number: 360125458410

Once the Line-x is all cleaned up they should blend in well with the back of the truck.

Marty your just like a women at a bar, show a little leg here and there to get our attention but never deliver the real goods.

I seen those TV shows, you can build this stuff in 7 days, and here your dragging us along for 7 years.

GRR, what leg I do see does look good though.
