Default Slow poke build "The Black Bandit"

Ok so just to let everybody know this is to keep track of my build. parts will be put on whenever i have the cash to do them or find a good deal.


all the pics to follow are form the day i got my jeep to present so here we go

this is what it looked like the day i got it home






this was one of the first things i did was to take the stock flairs off and see if i like it this way didnt know that it would be about a year untill i acutualy got a set big enough to acutualy trim them



then i got bord with the overheating issue i had and made a lovered hood and it acutualy turned out pretty good i think

my high tech tools in use





finished product







this was taken for a compairsin shot of my fender trimming but i could use it for my paint also



when i started trimming my fenders i used this



and found out real fast that i need to get something bigger to do this (this was about 4 disks and about 20 min of work)



talked to a friend at work and came up with this



the first pic was a shot to show how i was doing it and the second shot is the finished product both fronts took about 30 to 45 min total





this is what i had left over when i was done



inner fender anyone had to remove



after all this i needed to paint i started with the upper body line to see if i would even like it
the stuff i used is in the first pic and then some of the process and then the finished product











here is what it looks like up close



so i like how this stuff looks and i decided to go over board and here is what i came up with



all finished for now so here so a poser shot more to come
