Redog out of hiding!! 56K beware
 
Wonder why you haven’t see too many pics of Redog lately?

Redog’s been in hiding getting fixed up for ASS.

Start off with something simple, like tucking the wires of the train horn



And putting it on hinges for a better mounting



And




And what about that pesky hood chipping, car getting keyed, and a little bit of rust?









And the rear bumper was effed up too



Redog lost some weight:









Getting primed and painted











I had the underside of the hood painted and the fender rails painted too. These were never cleared at the factory









The rear bumper took the most time and money
















Redog 06-09-2008 11:45 PM

Then off to the booth:






Painted:



And out of the booth:





Still something missing?


Which brings us to the next item done:



And I was told by 3 shops it couldn’t be done, but,









Redog 06-09-2008 11:46 PM

But the pipes aren’t exactly perfect :(

Remember how bad my dash was?


Well I fixed that too!!





With a lot of glue and weight LOL!!






Got some things powercoated
Like my wiper arms: (Flat black)



Front valve cover (Black Wrinkle)


My intake piping (Mirror Red)

New rear brake rotors centers in Silver (They rust)

New FAZE gauge: (Oil Pressure)
(It’s not hooked up yet, my mech has an idea on how to hook it up with a sender bracket and a stainless steel line. He thinks it’s too close to the header, and too much weight on the brass. Sounds really cool, and I will post pics later. This won’t be done until after ASS)


I picked up this too:


I painted it "black Satin"



Still working on the sunroof trim, going to try flat black vinal around the edges

Took the wheels off and took them to a self serve car wash, then waxed them inside out!! Came out between 80% to 95% clean inside.



Repainted the caliper brackets on the front:

And the center of the front rotor

Now it’s ready for ASS ‘08

I wish michigan wasn't so far away( and gas wasn't 4.25 a gal).

bluesmobile00 06-10-2008 12:57 AM

thats great, the exhaust is my favorite! i like the train horn too, on a different page, that made me think of this, my buddy has a big (old) ford 150 with i think 4 inches of lift, we are kinda hickish out here in this part of ohio, but it looks pretty sweet and is great for mudding, but i love the jeep better, any way he wants to find a way to put a fog horn in the bed. haha

nice work looks good.

can't you just hook the oil pressure gauge up where the stock sender is ? I swaped the stock sender with the autometer sender and done.

Conehead2467 06-10-2008 01:45 AM

very nicely done... could you maybe tell me how you went about fixing that peeling problem on the dash? as mines starting to come off like that as well. do i jsut pour glue all over the underside and press down?

Alerosaint 06-10-2008 01:56 AM

Thats a clean ass ride...now i want a paint job

Redog 06-10-2008 07:02 AM

It hits the header, plus it's not a really a good idea to replace the stock unit. It controls something else that happens when you start the car, I don't remember what

i like the train horn thats awesome. i used to drive a lancer with an oogha horn like the cars from back in the day people were always suprised when i blew it at them. i could only imagine the shock of a train horn.

thats how mines hooked up and it throws no codes, works fine, and runs no different at all. :huh:

nice and clean. good job ken.


does anyone else have a problem keeping their brakes from squeeking on the sliders w/ them painted? the grease won't stay on mine to save my life...

Daytona 06-10-2008 08:54 AM

Nice work, Kenny! Now I know why you couldn't afford to make the Delta run any quicker. Mind lending me $7K to do my Alero next?

AGT 06-10-2008 09:40 AM
