::jumping in:: they make those type of paint in a spray can. i think you can find them at kragens or sumthin. the name of the paint is "chameleon" or sumthin of that sort. and mirage

All the paint on my car is tamaya acrylic enamel. First I sprayed silver with a lil bit off there clear orange mixed in with it. It made sort of a gold cause I was out of gold and didnt want to go to the hobby store. After that I used there clear yellow with a couple drops of clear green to get that lime yellow color. The green was almost just the straight clear green with a lil bit off the yellow in it also. You could have also used a silver base instead of the gold but I wanted a darker color. Also a lil trick I have learned off of the net is that you can thin the tamaya acylics with windex or alcohol instead of buying there brand thinner. Oh and one other thing I forgot. You cant see it to well in the picture but on the hood I tryed to make it look like marble but it doesnt show up well in those pics. To do that I spray it black. I try and give it a heavy coat so it doesnt dry to fast. After that I have a plastic grocery bag near by and I have it already as wrinkled up as I can get it. While the black is still wet press the bag on the paint and pull it off real quick and it should leave it marble looking. If it pulls off to much then just add more black and do it again. Hope that helps out a bit.

That's a great body style, and it looks great lowered in the back...

Praise the lowered.

You're talking to me, right? Well, the rear-end( bed and rear window portion) is made of an old credit card covered with electrical tape, cut( a lot of trial and error), and super glued on. The original rear end was cut by heating up a knife and easily slicing through the plastic.

tegboi, where did you get those rims & tires?

Here's my attempt at a Ford Ranger. I have added a mesh grille, fog lights(not-operational), and more of the body lines since i took this pic. It should be ready for paint within a few days.

tegboi 02-04-2003 11:22 PM

the wheels were from a modifiers kit. a civic si. they're like racing hart c2's. (type of wheels) and the way i have mine installed, they do not roll, but i know you can make them roll. just a lito bit of modifying.

Also if you are asking me about the tonneau cover, i made it out of styrene plastic. i have easy access to lots of plastic styles where i work. I just painted it flat black and added some silver drops to act as the button head snaps. Also since mine is so low i had to carve some of the under side of the tonneau cover before it sat low enough.

That was so completely irrelevant to what this thread is about

midget_man1387 02-07-2003 03:18 PM

what's funny is the fact that the only reason people are replying to it is becausei found it deep in this forum and replied to it

and, oh yeah, if you respected peoples' opinions, then you wouldn't care what it said

midget_man1387 07-02-2003 10:05 PM

low enough for you?

Yes they are, all fronts. I said bit cause it was shorter to say than nakamichi (easier to spell too "Namikachi").
