Johnny Blaze: The Build
#32
Thanks, guys . I am going to look at painting the lower portion black, like many including DonL, have done previously. And probably paint the frame that is visible, for now...cause I'm vain like that.

Don, I believe it's a double D size.
I bought it off a guy in Omaha, from Facebook marketplace. It's like Craigslist 2.0! Or Kijiji for you northerners.
Used some Rustoleum Rust Coverter on both sides, and I'm going to coat it in the same brand of rubber sealant tomorrow.

Found some good stuff at the man mall today.
Got some body colored c-pillar plastic trim;
There is just one 7 millimeter bolt on the inside bottom, then it just slides up.
Also found a spoiler with the rear led break light attached;

Thanks Don. Your rig is looking really good, too.
My wife got me this brush guard almost 4 years ago for Christmas. This was north of 400 bucks new. I would have looked for a used one myself. lol
I have not put the spoiler on yet. I am looking at trying to get it on this week. Wife is gone gone for work, so I can always drive her Buick if I don't get something done..

So this happened.
Found a set of fender flares from the local U Pull it and I Wrench it. Joint collaboration, as there was 2 at each yard.
Paid 15 per at pull it, 15 for both at wrench it. 45 bucks beats 300, any day!
Managed to get them off relatively quickly, too. I used a hammer and a thin screwdriver / chisel, and chiseled off the aluminum rivets. 5 minutes for the rears.
The front took longer, as I was able to unscrew the big pieces.
I was only able to get one bumper piece, as I learned the way to not remove on the first side. So I need the small driver side piece, yet.
Of course I will have to make the brackets to put them on, but there is a lot of info to work with on here. (Thanks DonL and Warthogdriver)
So, yet another project for me to work on.
