Damn DM-impressive list!

2Morrow

Damn, Thats a ton of work !

Hondaforlife954

Nice work!

what supplements did you take if any?... or hard work?

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Some supplements, but carb cycling and psychopath intensity when lifting were the real game changers

Majofo

Baby on the way.. I might be getting forgetful as I get older.. but congrats brother..

Also.. again with the shirt off.

iTrader: (5)

Are these what I think they are ? I discussed an idea with you couple months back

DM...was so happy to see an update.
Looking forward to what else you have in store. I need to do my side sill garnish in vinyl too....but I think I'm going to try out the brushed aluminum looking one...can you believe those are $176 per side at a discount!?!?!

Majofo

DM.. any plans on redoing the seats and removing the cheap ass "leather"??

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

what the heck is wrong with the leather? aside from the cracking and cheap feel.

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

MAYBE...I have gone through a few different ideas as of late, but a few of the conceptual items are going to stick. We'll have to see how things pan out down the line, but assuming our bonuses pay out this year, we're GTG

And the lack of a true leather scent, and pain-jane appearance...

DO IT!!! Hey, this part can be a REAL bitch to wrap, Jer - PM me if you need some pointers. You'll make it good as new w/ some creativity!

Grrrr...I forgot about the possibility of doing this, damn you guys, seriously. I've reupholstered seats before, so I am not leery of this task in the least...it's just at around $1200 for the leather, custom inserts, piping, stitching, and embroidery, I don't know if this is going to be fiscally practical next year.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ you should def go for it....I was planning to do it this winter but delayed my plans since I wont be driving my car for 6 months

since you have a ton of more skills than me, I think you will do more justice to the mod I could have done....

next year I might drive down to Think Tank (I know where you located LOL) and we can prolly do the mod on my car + a little new idea I have been having off late....

either way....but dude you worked your ASSSS off....I saw results in 1 year but not nearly as much as you have....hope that was NOT a joke LOL....

Project_CLean

iTrader: (2)

OK..so i just read all 15 pages..shit you not i read everything; at least what you posted lol. AMAZING. Seriously; you dont mess around, your car is coming along great. Hope to see an update soon; good luck with your baby makin'!

ReamzTL2

thats awsome!!! You really outdid yourself with those Mods

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Well, if you've been paying attention to the weather channel at all, you'll already know that the east coast is being RAPED by a winter storm at the end of Fall, I suppose this is nature's trick-or-f*cking-treat, and unlike the Reese's Cups upon which I normally gorge, this is a trick I'll pass on seconds for. Evem with this considered, today was f00king productive! Here's what we got done

The morning involved wrapping the beauty panel in matching carpet, which was kinda tricky considering the 40F temperature. She's ready for install now, but not until the EPIC bass control knob is here, which is due next week. More to come on that!



After that it was time to etch a radio LED board for a customer, we'll solder this tomorrow.





While I am wet as a virgin on prom night for my new bass setup, mass current deadening job did not account for one last little detail, and that was the license plate. So we're adding 3 layers and will build up accordingly.



DELAY: My brother came over for a HONAUX converter install, tranny fluid drain and oil fill...FYI: He also owns a UA6. Once that was done it was time for my wife's B-Day dinner, then I finished the install on the SUPERCOMPUTERS pedals. Helluva a deal for $100, and installation is so goddamn easy. I don't understand how this is taking people more than an hour OR breaking bits.



Lastly, I'm happy to report I've an even NEWER toy, as seen below. WHile it's going to take some time to learn, I can FINALLY capture my mods accuratley and realistically!!! VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!

I think you linked the wrong picture for this....
congrats on your new camera!!!

iTrader: (1)

Damn good improvement on yourself man. Has the number of lady friends increased any?

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Whoops! Good call! I'm really excited to start learning how to use it, there's a D3100 FOR DUMMIES book available I'm going to pick up, I'm really looking forward to getting some QUALITY shots of the car, now!!!





Uhhhh, well...I'm married, so I don't know how wise it'd be of me to be advertising if I have more lady friend when compared with my former. The attention I get as a whole, no matter where I go, is up about 3000% percent, which is ALWAYS a good ego boost!

awesome camera sir, lmk how u like it.. im in debate w/ that one

lights

iTrader: (1)

haha...I have same speakers as well....looks like we have similar things at home...(remember that pic I sent you of my work table?)

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

LOL, you're right!!! I guess this means I'll be sporting a D90 in 6 years as well

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I have a Canon 30D...it's very addictive...especially once you start messing with exposures etc...

Great work, man...amazing what the pedals do for the car. I also redid my sound system setup and cleaned it up and rewrapped my box.

About the vinyl...holy mother of Jeevus...the concave design made it a BITCH to try and wrap. Not to mention the vinyl I got looked more like scratched chrome than brushed aluminum. VERY unforgiving...any crease you put in it would not disappear. I figured out how to do it but it's too shiny for the car. I came up with a free alternative I plan to share, shortly.

DM-you're on a roll. Enjoy the new camera!

Read this thread from beginning to end today. Keep up the good work!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

PS...did the 3 layers of deadener kill the vibrations from your plate? Mine didn't.

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

LOL, Jer - I didn't even check, haha, I'll let you know tonight

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

did you end up doing infinite baffle?

maybe it's my 2 12's. Overkill much?

Check out my thread when you have a chance...see how my side sills ended up. Thanks again for the offer to help me out.

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Anytime, buddy FYI: The deadening on the plate did the trick. Keep in mind this was the thick stuff, so 21mils were added. Only last exterior rattle (none on the interior, FTW) is the 3rd brake light, and I'll be stealing a page from your book on killing that one!

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Another radio board all done up...and that rod there? Well, say hell to my bass boost control knob

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Dude...not to sound gay er nuthing...but you got a really sweet rod!

and just for you...

PS...if you've seen Orgazmo, you'll know what I'm talking about.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

^^^true statement. I usually feel like a pretty seasoned and good modder...until I see DM's updates. Then I feel like a hack.

DeathMetal

iTrader: (2)

Alin and Jer, you guys don't give yourself enough credit, you've done some great stuff, seriously!

With any good fortune this weekend I should have two big updates wrapped up: trunk and bass control knob system. More to come!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks, bud...looking forward to how this bass knob works.
