That's the material I wanted to add to my buddy buckets inserts. I def like it.

joesscamaro · 04-23-2021, 09:02 PM

Looking nice and cozy!

Doing a final buff and wax on the truck. There are many choices along with Ceramics and Grapheen Ceramics that last a long time. I have been using Mequires 2.0 and am looking at their "Ultimate". What are you useing?

bigmoe · 04-30-2021, 11:11 PM

I've heard the ceramics are best left for the professionals to apply. I did some searching on this forum a while back and Klasse All-In-One was highly recommended. I plan to try some when my current Mothers Gold runs out.

I did a little research and think its like anything else. Educate yourself and you can do it. Lots of videos out there on applying ceramics. That being said they are expensive. I have a buddy that had his car done and it looks great. I think the biggest advantage of ceramics is that they last a long time, 2-5 years or more. That is the delema for me. My truck is stored inside and is driven in nice weather. I don't mind buff/polishing once a year to keep it up. Just looking to see if the ceramic is worth the extra cost?

Spent the last week doing buffing and polishing details. Went for an uneventful cruise. Love the paddle shifter. The manual brakes are great not too much effort. The Power steering takes a little more effort than i was expecting, but I like it. Handles like its on rails.

Looking forward to driving it a lot. Few details left. Not sure if you've noticed but some parts are difficult to purchase right now (covid).

vet57air · 06-22-2021, 05:26 PM

My interior guy is very busy. Progress has been slow but hopefully done in a couple weeks.

Thank you. It came from the "Titanium" powder coated wheels, then matched the strip, then the leather.

joesscamaro · 06-22-2021, 08:50 PM

Agreed...I really like the color choice. Going to look great when finished.

vet57air · 06-25-2021, 07:27 PM

I asked my guy doing the interior to do the door speaker grills so they look like a mini door panel. I think he did an awesome job.

Very nice. Very clean install/flow.

Looks really nice! Very clean and a look that will still be "in" 15-20 years down the road.

Thank you. You have described my goal. We love these trucks because of how they look stock. It is so easy to get crazy with modifications that in the end they look like something else. I like mods and updates like anyone and the safety and performance that goes with it, but really tried to keep the charm of the original truck.
