BrothersGarage Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) Welcome and great pics! If you right click them and get the URL then Ratsun will auto load them for you like so: Can't wait to see where it goes from here, what are your plans? 2 hours ago, Crashtd420 said: Welcome ...

That looks like a carbon kevlar pattern and they are typically done by hydro-dipping the part if I am not mistaken. like so: Edited February 20, 2020 by BrothersGarage 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Looking good so far! 1 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 Yes it was hydro dipped. The color went more green tone than I wanted but better than nothing. cheers 4 Quote Link to comment
greenthumb Posted February 20, 2020 Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 That box looks like it’s almost brand new! Looks like a very solid project. Were you lucky enough to get a solid box, or does that pic represent a lot of restorative work? carry on 2 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted February 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2020 The box had no rust and minor repairs. I do have another box with some side rust and bondo repairs if anyone needs a bed or tailgate. Thanks for looking at my Dat 3 Quote Link to comment

MR2PLUS Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Guess the pics are not going to load😩 1 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted March 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 Well 1 pic came through, I guess it’s better than none. 2 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted March 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 It would appear I’m better with a wrench than a photo upload. I’m trying to get images from imgur to load here on this post, but alas I’m unsuccessful. Any thoughts as to my possible mistakes? thx 2 Quote Link to comment
mainer311 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I can access the picture above directly from imgur, so it seems like you're at least doing something correctly. Make sure the copied link always has the ".jpg" on the end of it. Usually the forum tools automatically flag it as an image and inserts it into your post. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I always set my imgur pictures to "private" or "hidden" on the imgur site prior to uploading them. Of course, I'm doing this all from an iPhone, so it may vary. *https://i.imgur.com/YFMQwfN.jpg* Edited March 16, 2020 by mainer311 2 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Thank you mainer311, I did check and it does have the jpeg. I have tried to send 1 pic at a time to no avail as well.thx again 2 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I cannot find any other photos other than the ones he has posted so far in his account. Are there more photos? 2 Quote Link to comment
MR2PLUS Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Hi Wayne, I want to load more pics(6) but I can’t get them to load from Imgur. Any help?/ideas? 2 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) You cannot get them to load onto Imgur or you cannot copy them to paste them here, I went to your account and the last photo I seen was the one of the side of the shiny black box and rear rotor.

Wayne, they are loaded in imgur, I can copy them but they will not load up rats in. There should be 6 more pics after the left bed side/bark rotor pic. Thx for taking time on this. 2 Quote Link to comment
