Herculine hood and insert

[Marlin]

Wow, I have pissed off/annoyed enough people that I don't even get negative comments anymore!!! Yippeee!!!! Anyway, I took your advice and ordered a 10" first gen Isuzu emblem in red. I think its gonna be sweet in that yellow gap. Thanks for the idea...
I will probably start on the cladding tomorrow, I had duty today so I was not able to do anything, I forgot about that.
I am liking the look more and more, I will post a distance shot tomorrow as well, its looks pretty sweet, follows the curve of the cladding quite nicely and adds some umph to the front end. It really looks like a tonka truck now.

Comes from spending as much time contemplating mods as you spend actually doing them lol.

Bring that pretty foxfire with you on your next trip down here, I will get to work...I will have her trail ready in under a week, just spot me about 1000 for parts, and you are on your own for tires. That gets you new ball joints with a flip, front locker, OME lift, and some judicial scratches and dents to give it that "ripped jean" look

[atilla_the_fun]

I'm really curious to know how this stuff sticks to the cladding, it looks like it dries really inflexible?

[pbkid]

wow, usually im the kind of person who says thats its your car and if you like it, DO IT!....... but.......damn dude........ damn......

you should of just did the whole vehicle, you know you'll end up doing it eventually anyhow...

Marlin, I mostly live by the advice that "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all".

But just to show you that I am not peed off at you -



I ain't gonna say nuthin!!!!




Mate, I really hope you like it.

Wouldn't mind some of that (flip and OME lift) but based on that last part I'm not sure I'll bring her any closer than across the street for fear of a Marlinstein attack.

I'm with pbkid, just do the whole vehicle. IMHO this is one of the toughest looking VX's out there:

[Marlin]

I had a reason for doing it. The VX was in an accident back in 04, drivers fender is not the original, it is a much lighter after market, you can tell by knockin on it. They did an awesome jobon the paint match, but the paint itself is cheap. It chips if you look at it, and I was just tired of touching it up. No more touch ups for me. I will have to post a distance picture, its actually not so bad. I do need to finish the insert and start on the cladding.
I think the Linex version looks pretty sweet,minus the PVC pipe on the front and the dryer conduit snorkel, but hey, with our trucks, you gotta fab your own stuff.

[Marlin]

Here are the distance shots, like I said, it doesn't look bad at all. Please note that my lawn is a little bit greener than the neighbors.

What is that rear tow hook mounted to? I want one...

Maybe the rear bumper bar behind the cladding, and he just drilled a hole through the cladding to attach it? I can't think of any other place to mount one that would be that high up.
