obi your the jedi .... do some mind tricks

obijuan · 02-24-2007, 01:45 PM

i only throw the mind tricks on bronco lovers. anyway, heres the primed cab. i got it primed up and sanded to see all the imperfections and i still got to put the center strip on the hood and does anyone know where to get fiber optic cable?? i need some for the roof lights.

ScGRaceR · 02-24-2007, 01:56 PM

why wouldnt you use led's?

obijuan · 02-24-2007, 09:48 PM

i am going to use led's. but only one colored led with fiber optic cable will rout to many different places. and be just as bright.

looneybin · 02-24-2007, 09:50 PM

well im gonna guess he is talking about the running lights, which are tiny. with fiber optic cable he could theoreticly have all the running lights running from one single led. i don't know where to get it but ive seen a lot of stupid junk that uses fiber optic wires, like those little key chain wands in gas stations or similar. you might could use something like that

maybe here....

I got some stuff for a Nissan Titan xmod ... they have lots scrol all the way down and go to endglow.. there is other good categories also though

try the flourescent fiber too. .. might work for you indeed

racerx · 02-24-2007, 11:09 PM

I saw someone use fiber optic (I think a very scale hummer) he said he got it at the LHS in the train section.

obijuan · 02-24-2007, 11:57 PM

hmm really? thanks for all the help guys! :thumbsup:

looneybin · 02-26-2007, 05:23 PM

think you change the name of this build enough.lol i don't think the name of any of my threads got changed when i requested

c0astie31 · 02-27-2007, 06:26 PM

you can you a spring mount and turn it, mount it inboard of the frame and extend the lower axle bolts and mount the shock that way, or make a cross member and mount top of shocks to cross member, whould help with strength and alooks, just a idea to throw out there, by the way, your rig looks great, keep it up

yeah the shocks are too long and hit the underside of the bed to do that and they also interfere with the springs when "outboarded" and limit flex bigtime because of the minimal lift. so angled rearward they alleviate all of those problems except looks. i would rather have them staggered like my full size rig. but w/e thanks for the compliments

looneybin · 02-28-2007, 08:37 AM

well i was wondering if the top of the shock could cut off a little shorter and then retapped to accept the shock cap. i just cant find the correct tap to rethread the shock body.

obijuan · 03-04-2007, 01:34 PM

well a little update kinda. not much progress cause my fulsize blazer is getting 4.56 and an auburn limited slip here pretty quick so ive been on that for a while. also midterms are here and i should be studying. but anyways i was working on building the bed and got to the fenderwells where that **** is HARD to get them to curve and stuff. so i said f-it. ill work on em later. got it kinda assembled and im not gonna run a tailgate. i got a chevy one but a mounting tab is broke off and i am gonna build without it. coupla teaser shots to hold yall off.

ScGRaceR · 03-04-2007, 01:46 PM

lookin good!....think of the bushwacker look? (fender flairs

)

obijuan · 03-04-2007, 03:29 PM

what do you mean? can i get curved styrene that i can do that with? or are theyre flares availible?

ScGRaceR · 03-04-2007, 03:36 PM

obi that was a suggestion for a look you should go for!

85burbanator · 03-04-2007, 04:13 PM

looks good obi, ive got some more work to do on mine but i dont have the time really. im also stealing your idea for the bed

more or less one of those things to see if i can do it lol. be a along time before my crewcab body gets a chassis and axles though.

mudplower · 03-04-2007, 04:21 PM
