I'm BLUE Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 My thoughts on rims. (not to anyone in particular and everyone in general) This is a sore point with me because many people actually have fairly nice looking rides but then for some reason they feel obliged to undo everything they have accomplished by allowing their poor taste or freedom of expression free rein to pick out a set of gawd awful rims for their ride. Just my opinion, but rims should compliment the vehicle, I mean we drive/love/care for the vehicle right? I see tiny rice rockets every day with $2500+ in rims on them. I always think of a pig walking around with diamond bracelets on all four hooves. Car first! Get it??? If the first thing a person sees are the rims on an otherwise nice ride, well, what was the point? Car first! Get it? Ask your girlfriend about pearls. Diamonds are appropriate at gala openings with evening dress and hair up. Not so good at work or shopping. Pearls are perfect for any time even jeans and T shirt. They complement a woman's good looks and are quietly elegant and sublime, anytime, or anywhere. Car first! Get it? . Hey datzenmike , You have very sound thinking , and I agree 100% with the rims as well as things in general. You know me I can't let an opportunity to yank yer chain , eh ? :hyper: ;) Yeah , I gave up on the jewelry thing a while ago there , ttttttoooooo much money ! ( I have family in that business , I have been around it all my life , and still have no clue what goes with what , or what means what ! LOL ! ) But a very good analogy in comparison , very sly there :cool: ;) Quote Link to comment

Best Of Luck on this , who knows could be ok condition ( with minimal checking of course :D ) Quote Link to comment
RadioRedline Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Harley got a bunch more on his pushbar, while I Cleaned the shop, washed floor, etc, and touched up my boxliner with the aerosol version. Then I got adventurous and tried some bodywork, had to fill abou 8 little pencil size holes...never done bodywork b4 and this is my first attempt! Read the instructions and Ground down with cup brush and makita grinder and used a body hammer to get the needed areas flat. Then tom i'll sand the bondo smooth and primer the bitch! Also Sprayed 1st layer of primer on my tailgate.. TOm is finish sanding tailgate and primer, this bondo area, and hopefully get tint and my stereo in! Never done those myself either! Thank god the Jedi Master is in the room for any help! Radio Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 The hell? Are you serious? You obviously have a welder, so weld that crap, especially when you have access to the other side of the panel fairly easily. Quote Link to comment

RadioRedline Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I just wanted to try bondo! its like decorating a stinky cake! Radio Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Body work scares me. Wouldn't it be better to dimple those holes slightly and fill with weld? Water will get at the bondo from the other side and it will swell. Quote Link to comment

turbojunker Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 If you are going to half-ass those holes in the door, at least put the mesh on the inside. You'll save yourself a headache. Quote Link to comment

RadioRedline Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Tonite hooked up the other speaker (was missing a couple y adapters) and cut some new rubber mat for the 'carpet" to protect the floors from getting worse until I weld New floorboards in. tomorrow I have day off would like to strip some more off the 720, and maybe tint this truck.
