Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

Just an idea I have always wanted to see. It would fit in with your trucks look. Is to shave the holes on the top of the dash and not run a dash pad. The rest looks great shaved like that but it may need some "pins" (von dutch style) to break it up a bit.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

we actually tried to fit it in, but it's got a small ding in it and it was bowing on the outside so it wouldn't fit in there.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

Just went by to drop off the lenses for the LED's. He's been held up by them. For some reason Suicide Doors sent me clear lenses and not red ones. Clear would be fine on anything else but not a red blazer

I took a few pics of the rear and one from the side.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

I was so hoping you wouldn't fill in the factory tail lights and go with lowers. Just my opinion of course.

I was checking out this thread at work and was hoping it made it to paint. I guess it will soon.

Paint has been ordered, but still got a few things to do. All of the bag stuff has been put on. Tank and compressor are tucked underneath really nice

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

Just got back from Jason's. The UPS man brought the paint today so I ran it over to his house. Took some pics of the latest progress.





Here's a some picture of what he did with the latches. Looks alot cleaner then the original concept.

Re: Project Topless 365/24/7

Also ordered a new steering wheel for it yesterday. Was going with the old black Astro van wheel, but it just won't do now.
