The black with red quarters looked really good. Pity you changed it. The reason your painted edges were rough is cause you didn't tape it real tight, meaning making sure that the tape was pasted down tight & stretched fully. Prep is 90% of any paint job.

I was a little new to the plasti dip but I'll make sure to press it down. The red got kind of old to me. I liked it for a while but it just got old I like the all black better. I kept the hood stripe though!

Bought a 4 foot Firestik2 today from Flying J. I'm still researching what Radio I want, but I don't want to spend money on it I just want it to do it's job.

Looking good man! and with the pics you just gotta right click on them and there should be a rotate clockwise or counterclockwise button, then upload them. had the same problem before too.

So today I got my CB radio and Antenna set up (just needs to be tuned) I also got two PIAA lights, I'm thinking A-Pillar set up for those. And tomorrow I am going to get my Stinger welded on my bumper and then that will be finished. So some actual progress is being made right now and I found some money in an old bank account and I have a few things I am going to be selling and hopefully make enough for some quick discos.

I like the look of it but I haven't used it yet because I don't have a tuner.

I was mocked it up above my rear view mirror but i didn't like that the chord hung down. And I tried under my steering wheel but it got in the way. Plus where I put it now, it had just enough wire to run around the passenger tub, under the carpet straight to the fuse box
