Nothing special by anymeans

But didnt really stand out so I went a different route and painted the valve cover while I was at it

What'd you use as a template for the flames? Any procedure on which colors first? light to dark or what??

I actually cut the stencils out cereal box
The cardboard thick enough that it isn't flimsy but still leaves a pretty clean line
I had a few since they get loaded up with paint
http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp120/Stangshcky12/2C596E40-79C1-455B-817C-82A76EE63316-1995-000002B12A24510C.jpg

I started with a mineral grey base, then went to ppg pure pink pearl
http://i403.photobucket.com/albums/pp120/Stangshcky12/227BF791-EC34-47BA-8BA2-4D32325BDB01-1995-000002B1ED88C600.jpg
Then did some in dodge ps2 silver, pxr black and pretty much finished with mineral grey again
I touched up with all four colors so it doesn't really matter what colors you use
Just depends on how light or dark you want it
Finished with a spray maxx 2k clear which blows away any other clear in a can

Gotta thank schroedermp and usmc1188 for making me want to paint that stuff and there how to's to do it

I picked up a bullydog gt tuner used
I can't get it to work on her truck but worked fine on my buddies 06 5.9 so I have to give bullydog a call and see what they say
I'm figuring the truck needs an update reflash (obd port might be bad too) either way it goings to cost more money

Painted some headlights for her too

Going to be ordering top gun CAs for 2"-3" of lift to stop the rubbing on the bottom of the flare (hopefully)

I Installed the same arms on mine about a yr ago, work like a dream. Kinda look better too, since they are the bigger tubular design

Also....got my valve cover off, since I had to pull my injectors :fca5278d:......but I digress...I tried my luck at drawing some flames on a box..HA! Looks like some crap a 4yr old would do.....but I got the colors I want to use.....just got to figure out a good way to get flames transferred to the box

When you did the CA did you have trouble with the cam bolt on the lower arm?
I figureing I'll just order extras since it'll probably have to be a one day project

If you aren't in to big of a rush to paint it pm me your email address and I can draw something up for you to use as a stencil, I'm not site if I'll be able to get around to it till next week though

Midnight Smoker
12-11-2012, 10:52 AM
No I didn't have any issues at all beside the upper bolt on the pass top control arm.....It hits the exhaust & you gotta cut it in half and replace it or pull the down pipe. Local hardware store should have it.

As far as the flames go I just printed out some stencils, I'm gonna transfer over to the cardboard to spray with....Starting to get kinda pumped to see how I can make them look. If I could ever get done with this kitchen renovation...:uhoh2:

I hear ya, I'm just going into finals so I don't have any time to do anything I want to get done and our Christmas break is super short so I don't think I'll get much done then either

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out, hopefully better then the last person who tried it haha
What colors are you going with?

Midnight Smoker
12-12-2012, 11:04 AM
I got a white as a base and then a dark sillver metallic, a lighter silver, and Sublime Green....Thinking it should look pretty good together but we'll see lol.

As far as your control arms go....not sure if you have access to a lift but I didn't. I just parked my truck uphill a little, and put a ratchet strap from the brackets in front of the control arms up to the bumper, loosened my CA bolts, and put a little tension on the straps. Worked like a dream, then once you've got one end of the new arms bolted in ratchet the axle forward alittle more with the straps and the other ends will pop in :anitoof:

12-12-2012, 07:09 PM
Thanks for the tip!
I'm hoping to use my cousin or buddies lift, I did the spacers in my driveway and it wasn't much fun
Did you do any kind of pitman arm drop?

Midnight Smoker
12-13-2012, 10:59 AM
No, but I did upgrade my stabilizer (Caught an unbelievable deal on a carli stabilizer) and I put an adjustable carli track bar on to recenter the axle. Not sure what inch spacer y'all are running, but I threw some 3's under mine and it pulled the axle over and 2"....

Stangshcky12
12-13-2012, 06:56 PM
I just have a 2" now
I dont really want to go much higher right now but we'll see how things work out

Stangshcky12
12-19-2012, 10:04 PM
Ordered a set of RC adjustable control arm for $180 shipped
Thinking of going to a 3" spacer in the front, maybe 3.5" and 1.5" in the back


Hmmmm

12-19-2012, 11:19 PM
not sure how your truck is setup but will putting that big of a spacer going to strain on any thing else???

Stangshcky12
12-20-2012, 04:02 AM
Looks like its probaby going to be a 3" spacer since there's one by chance on Craigslist within 5 miles of my actual house
I'll need a track bar drop bracket, sway bar drop brackets and probably a drop pitman arm and the blocks for the rear
I just put shocks for 2"-4" of lift on this summer
That's basically what the $800 procomp lift kit comes with and it'll work out for right around $400-$450 this way
Most of it will be temporary since we'll both be out of school this time next year too

They got here pretty quick, UPS guy wasnt happy with how heavy the box was
Gonna go ahead and order the lower cam bolts and upper passenger side bolt to save myself some hassle later maybe

spec-d is the brand of lights i have on my truck

Stangshcky12
12-28-2012, 05:28 AM
I have lights everywhere
There's just a set of stock tails in that box that I'm going to open up and put LEDs in and the TYC box was a set of 4th gen dodge tails that I got my dad for Christmas
I bought a set of LED tails for her truck, I think they were spyder and had nothing but problems with them till one literally fell out as she was driving to my house, they're ripped apart in my room now with her stock headlights too lol


I went ahead and ordered all new bolts for the control arms from spohn figureing I'll have to cut most of the old ones off

Round 1 went to the truck
Good news is the lower cam bolts seem to be the only ones seized
Bad news I'm going to have to take off the down pipe off toget the passenger side upper bolt off
It's just spinning and I can't get a socket on it

Still haven't decided what to do suspension wise yet either

It was about 60*F here so I spent the day cleaning up the truck,got the salt off, put new tails on and took lots of pictures
