Very Nice! How did you make the bomb sub enclosure? And what color is that?
|
The "bomb" sub enclosure has a JLW612 in there and started it's life as an air tank on a big rig. Just cut it up, removed the separation inside the tank, sound deadener, 1.5" of MDF for a lip that I used windshield urethane to put in place, auger tubing for the rear portion of the bomb, plasma cut the fins, mounted a lip inside so that it could be taken apart at a later date. Drilled and riveted together, sketched out the "mustang" face wit a bit more attitude, then hand painted to look a bit old. Wanted the brush strokes etc to be evident. Didn't turn out to bad. Also broke and welded a pocket in the top of it for remotes, phone, wallet etc. Swivels up and sits straight up and down when the back seat is in the up position for shows etc.
The color is my own mix, I used Endura single stage paint with flattening agent. I was hopeing for it to turn out a bit more flat, but it is super easy to maintain, and I drive on gravel roads daily and it holds up VERY well. Very happy with it all in all. And cheap to do as well. The color is very strange when it comes to light though, it changes with the light ALOT. And it is very particular with painting conditions as well. Temperature, drying time, how it is applied etc, all chanes it in one way or another as far as flattening goes. The best way is lots of light coates. The heavier it is applied the more shine it will have. PITA if you are painting some parts at home and the main truck assembled in a booth like I did. Made for a challenging project to say the least.

Kinda curious to how you made the flames in the casting on the rear end..?
|
Flames in the casing is basically just me getting bored..lol. I was waiting on parts and couldn't do anything else at the time, so out came the welder when I was welding up the tubes on the 14FF, and just freehanded some flames, then touched them up with the die grinder. Subtle but you'd be surprised how many people notice them...lol.

The airbrushed headliner is sick, and the bulllet holes in tailgate go with the theme.

Ya, the tailgate we used a .40 cal handgun. You'd be surprised how much flack I get when people at shows go "you seriously didn't put bullet hole stickers on..." or "those fake bullet holes are pretty cheezy" Till I tell them that they are real, then the look on their face goes sorta blank and they then think I am nuts...lol. Either that or I have people "fingering" my truck...lol. Kind of funny watching people go up with their fingers and putting their fingers in the holes....then laughing.
