Madness Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Between work and the girlfriend i haven't had time to work on my garage. Its killing me not having a shop anymore. Im pretty sure that im going to sell my 88 toyota 4x4 to help fund this project once again. Its a serious sacrifice but i think the 521 will be a lot more fun. We'll see what happens in the coming weeks, i just need to compile a checklist of everything that i need to do to her, probably be about 2 miles long. Quote Link to comment

Madness Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Finally, I did something to my damn truck! Got to rep the madness name on the door, giving it that work truck feel, after all, thats what these trucks were built for. Currently Im working at a print factory making transit advertisements. We have a 3M product we call "removable" due to the fact that it removes clean from the side of the bus when they are done with the advertisement. After messing with a few vector imaging programs i finally came up with a logo and printed it at work. Applied to the pass door. Spent about a half an hour cutting along the lines and peeling out the letters to come up with this. Started throwing some paint on and realized in my haste i forgot to wipe the door down with wax and grease remover... dumb. So after layer and layer of thick lead based 1 shot lettering enamel it finally covered, and ran. Oh well adds character. Needless to say peeling the mask was a freakin mess but got it all off and doesn't look to bad. By the way, if you ever come across my truck don't lick the door. The white paint i used is an old ass can of 1 shot lettering paint, and it does contain lead! :blink: Quote Link to comment
Madness Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Finished up my passenger side door with a little bit of red. The outline is a little thinner than I wanted it to be but I kinda like it. On another note, I sold my toyota so parts and machining will be coming soon. Quote Link to comment

Madness Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 They are valve stem caps from Coy's wheel and tire. I re-tapped them to accept a common thread pitch. Quote Link to comment
