Where did you put the stinger foil? I noticed immediately that the doors had a lot of vibrations.. Anywhere else you suggest?

My truck has both a layer of Roadkill and Overkill.

 

Covered floor from firewall to back wall.

Headliner from front windshield to rear window.

Doors have Overkill on inside of door and Roadkill on the skin closet to door panel. Speaker mounts are mounted on a layer of Roadkill.

Back wall has both layers plus the oem pad with just enough opening for distro box, which is also deadened.

 

The center floor has two layers of both, wanted to build that up since the sub directly fires into it.

 

I have zero rattles at full volume.

Thanks Chris!

 

Stay tuned, I have a few more things to get done before I just say "Okay, need to take a break"......I mean......"Dammit! The Kooks and Whipple are just going to have to wait until Spring"......

 

Honestly, I am going to have to take a break on the big stuff and enjoy my truck in a state of "Everything is done for the meanwhile" rather than "okay, I will leave the back seat out until I get X done".....8 months later the back seat is still not in because I have 1 more panel to get finished which is still over at Kyle's.............LOL

[UofAZCats]

Truck looks great and that sound system must be incredible. Congrats on a great build.

 

Can't wait to see the next step.... because there is always a next step.

...and just because I think this is a good picture, a little "Rollin Dirty"!

 

...and before someone asks me why I went with SLE lights over the SLT/Denali Lights, its because I think they look better......

looking good. how did you do your emblems ?? Photo's of front end with light bars installed. Please

Front end photos will be coming when I finish my "Front End Refresh". I do not have a lightbar installed as of yet, not sure when I am going to do it. Maybe not until spring since I have alot on the plate right now.

 

Emblems (How to Stryker your Emblems): First thing I did was order a new set of all my emblems I planned to keep on the truck. I order from GMPartsNow.com because I have dealt with them in the past and they are really good to me. Anyways, ordering a new set provides you with a template that the emblems are adhered to which allows them to be sprayed and mounted with ease. Remember to outline the emblem location with tape before removing them so you know exactly where the new set is to be placed.

 

1. I used the Dupicolor Shadow kit for my emblems. Comes with the paint and the clearcoat, and is more than enough to do all the emblems on your truck.

2. If you went my route and purchase new emblems on the templates, they are pretty much sterile and do not need to be cleaned, make sure to wear clean nitrile gloves when messing with these.

3. Peel back the top layer of film from the template and set aside (will be used again to mount the emblems). As long as you have not touched the emblems, no need to clean or primer.

4. Make sure the emblems are laying flat when painting.

5. Spray a light/medium coat of shadow (just to get them covered and tacky). You should see how it pools up on the high portions of the emblems and moves away from the sharp edges.Wait the recommended time on the can.

6. Spray a medium coat of shadow. Once again the paint should stick to the high portions and run away from the sharp edges. Wait the recommended time on the can.

7. Spray a medium/heavy coat of shadow. This should be the last coat of shadow, and the high sections of the emblem should be black by now and the sharp edges should be shadow/black-chrome in appearance. If they are not, then your coats were too thin. To practice, I cleaned a few of my old emblems that were removed from the truck, and used those to get my desired effect.

8. Once the emblems are ready for their next coat, I used the clearcoat and put 5 coats of medium clear on them and let them sit for at least a day to cure enough to go on the truck.
