Fab'd up a mounting plate. The cabin fire bottle and some electronics will get mounted here.
Attachment 71773 Some rust encapsulator and internal frame coating sprayed in the rear frame rails, inside the tubs and the rockers. Attachment 71774 Some sealer in a few places. Attachment 71775 Masked, scuffed, cleaned. Attachment 71776 Sprayed with Raptor. 22 tip, reduced by 10%, 12-18lbs. Used about a gallon.

Wow what a nice finish! I like that so much more than the ruff finish. Beautiful job.
|
That looks amazing! Nice work.
|
Looks killer
|
Fantastic! Great job, John!
|
wow I love the finish of the liner that way. What gun you taked for that?
What is the equivalent in mm for the .22 tip? and last question, what you taked to disolve the liner. Thanks |

No real fancy gun..Devilbiss Finishline. Think it's a $200 gun. Tip sizes are in mm. So that is a 2.2mm tip. I used PPG DT885 reducer. It's pretty expensive for this... I think you could use any good urethane reducer. Pressure and material volume adjustments make the texture and thickness. This was my first time spraying it and I'm a total rookie with the gun. Honestly, it was very forgiving and responded well to adjustments including pattern. I dialed it tight for small areas and then to around a 4" spread for flat areas. Don't mess around after you are done spraying...get to cleaning the gun!!! |

Thanks for taking time to respond.
I will try it soon, I got dt1855, I suppose it will do the same job as the dt885. |

Powder coated the rear-end.
Attachment 71888 Syringed in a little gun metal gray (color matched to the wheels) into the Currie letters, just for fun. Attachment 71889 |

Long, long way to go here but here is the start of the headliner/A-piller panels. Capitalizing on it still being on the rotisserie.

Headliner
Love you how you matched the front angle in the back with the rollbar!
Very "trick"!! Or as the kids say these days... "that's fire!" LOL |

One layer of 3/4oz and one of 1 1/2 ounce mat.
Attachment 72103 Even with a skim coat of filler, the whole headliner shouldn't be very heavy, it's pretty thin - if the filler made it to heavy, I take a splash mold of it and make a new part so there is no filler at all. It'll get covered with suede later. Attachment 72104 A layer of primer to insure the shape is uniform. I'll cut it all out this weekend. Attachment 72105 I oversized the mold in the front here just to help with shaping this area. This will obviously get cut back to fit nicely to the windshield. Attachment 72106 I'll put the seam at the top of the A Pillar. Attachment 72107 Attachment 72108 |
You’re doing an amazing job, that looks great. All of the work you’ve done on this build is top notch. I love coming back for your updates.
|
I really like this idea. It would allow me to have the cage tucked up closer to the roof and I'd still be able to finish it out and look nice instead of fighting putting a headliner in it. Consider this another stolen idea I'm taking from you lol.
|
Man, that looks good!! I like it...
|
WOW the headliner mold is cool!

Take it AJ!! but I know you will do something cool to it - looking forward to seeing it! Let me know if you want any more pics. Not sure if headroom is an issue for you but it was for me. Under my headliner is 1/2"DEI insulation and then I used 6 RingBros billet washers/1/4-20 to bolt it down the roof where I had welded threaded bungs. You can't see it in these pics and I masked over them while glass'n but it's all tightened down and in place before I did the mold work for the sides/front and back so that roof piece would be in the exact - up as tight as possible, location. I'm working to integrate a handle to ease entry/exit over the door bars and also for a hand hold for the passenger, (found a billet one from GZilla - need to machine down the feet so it's up tighter to the A-Pillar). And also going to integrate in an overhead console (sunglasses holder/map light/Homelink) - spent a few hours at the junkyard and found that late model Honda cars have a cool one that fit in the space well - ordered one from a 2020 Pilot. I'll post pics as I get that done. |

wow, that headliner is pretty badass

Looks good. I had planned something similar in a first gen build, but I was going to bury it in the structure so it was minimally obtrusive.

John, where'd you get that sweet set up? PM me a price too if you don't mind. I'm in the market for one too.
|
That headliner is awesome. You are an awesome multi talented builder.
