i like the red ones much better, the clear ones look autozone'ish and would go with purple undercar neon and roll call stickers

Good Morning All,

Adding the final Touches to the Wheels

So how do take a set of Wheels from Billet Specialties to the next level
www.billetspecialties.com
Paint the centers of course.

Bob Thrash picked the color and Kenny sprayed them.

Looks awesome Marty !!!

I love the wheels :thumbsup:

Perfect, look's good man! Those 16" rotors?

16 good grief... only ever seen a 15 inch brembo setup and they were bigger than a vinyl record! but 16! where did you find those rotors?? Donkz cars?? boeing???

Wilwood does, you just have to build a truck to put them on. You need 16" rotors to stop 24" rims with 44" tires I suppose.

Truck looks good, I wonder who will have theirs done first you or me. We have a Feb 1st upholstry date.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but yes Wilwood sells them, I need to have custom hats made since I'm converting to 5lug, but I love the look of big brakes filling up a wheel, 20x8.5 up front and 20x15 out back, the rears will be 14 4pistion fronts 16 6piston.

Back on track, whats next?

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

thank you - I know i've said this many times. But if it was for Guy's like Kenny, Travis & Kenny Sr this project wouldn't be what it is today.

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

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.
