TINY's take on a G6

[tech712]

A good tip for your decals is to get a spray bottle and mix 3 drops of baby shampoo and water in it. Wet the location and the sticky side of your decal before applying it. This will give you freedom to position it to your liking. When you have it how you like it gently blot it with a lint free rag gently working the water out. Let it sit and dry for a day in a warm place and it should be fully setup. Just a little trick a good budy of mine taught me for doing window tint.

I've done this for years...
But when your hands shake like crazy it still doesn't help much.....
But I'm sure someone else could use the tip....Thanks

I was sitting here looking at the G6 a little bit ago.My attention was drawn to the ride height of this thing. To me I felt it was a bit to high. So I moved the body posts down a peg and still looked high.So I went to move them down another peg but when I put the body back on it wasn't fitting quite right. The top screw tab for the dust cover on the transmission was hitting the body. WELL...guess what happened to Mr. screw tab.....LOL
That's right off it came.I put a small dab of CA in it's place but it wasn't really needed.But it made me feel better...
Here's a shot of where the tab was.

And here is a before of the ride height.

And one of it after..I know it's not a huge difference but I think it helped.I think it dropped it a good 1/4 inch the pics don't show it very well unless you look at the lower links and the rock sliders.compared to where the body was and is now.

Lookin good. Closing the gap improves the appearance quite a bit. No longer looks like a body lift in the 1:1 world. But heres the question. Can it crawl ? ;p

I think it'll be even prettier with some dirt n scuffs on it. The build is only half the fun. I cant wait for summer for pictures of mine on top of a mountian.

Yeah it'll look better with mud on it. But first I gotta make it all pretty with some graphics. Oh and I live in the mountain state so I know all about the mountains...

I'm glad you like it. When I picked the color I was looking for something different. It's got gold metal flake in it so it really pops in the light. It seems like a lot of the other G6's use the body armor decals and the big G6 sign looking decals. I'm not one to run with the crowd...lol I've got some decals I'm looking to have made. I got a guy checking a quote for me now. He should get back to me soon I hope. If I can't find someone to make them soon. I'll look for some that are already made and not custom.Oh and thanks for saying mines tops...

Looks fantastic, great job.

Just though i'd mention this to you for an idea. Have you planned on making fender wells?

Yep...Sure have.I'm still figuring out how I want to make the rear ones. Plus I'm thinking about doing it all underneath.You know fill it all in so you can't see up into the body.But I don't want to use one of the floor pan kits you can buy...I feel like that's cheating....lol

Yeah that's what sets it aside from the rest too man! Yes, it is a g6er but the way you made it look now definitely gives it that old school "hot rod" look while still saying I can eat up this mountain like nothing haha. I think once those custom decals are on tho it'll really set your rig off! And it's no problem at all too man! I know a beast when I see one n this ones no doubt a MONSTER haha

But I ordered a set today. SO...well see how those look when I get them...I still want the custom ones though.

Great build, color combo & wheel choice are spot on. I use the plastic container that sandwich meat comes in or take out food from the Chinese joint down the street. Cheap and easy to work with and cut. Again great build bud, keep up the nice work!!!
