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

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,

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

well played sir

haha even with my cablemodem it slowed my computer down dam .... i want the train horn..

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

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.

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?

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

Thanks everybody


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...

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?

sneaky bastard. Looks awesome

great work. 35 minutes after the page loaded.....good job, tho.

looks sweet time well spent....

Looks amazing Ken. Great mini-restoration.

didnt slow my fios down for a millisecond :yahoo:


anyways the new paint job looks good. how much was the paintjob?

I'm not at liberty to say :ninja:

MY FiOS OWNED THAT PAGE!

thats a nice lookin' lil' car you got there. hope to have mine looking all purddied up for ASS 09, since I'm still in Iraq for 08, I might even be here for the 09 show, but I'm hopin not. Kinda want some time with my daughter and wife.

Nice paint job. I especially like the wrinkle black on the valve cover, nice touch.

That's not the way the Y pipe is supposed to feed the mufflers. It won't flow as well as it should.

sounds like someone struck a deal. :thumb:

I noticed that too. Maybe thats why 3 shops said it couldn't be done lol.

your car's looking mighty sharp! hopefully I can make it to Lansing for friday but if not, keep it nice for ASS '09! i need some tips and tricks on fixing things on my car

not to crap up this thread, but about how much should it run to have the passenger front and rear door repainted? I still haven't got it repainted from the keying incident and it looks crappy.

ken that has to be the cleanest shop i have seen in a long time, what paint system do they use, nice job

looks like someone is getting ready...good job

Now please dont tell me your running your intake like that....hook up the pipes and place that filter down there.

bad ass

He has a CAI Converted to a WAI for street use. When he needs to. he hooks up the pipe. lolz.






Ken. I'm hating you alot at the moment. What you had done is about what I need. Shoulda Went for a Hood Scoop though. lol.

Kidding. Looks clean man.

I know the "Y" pipe is backwards, but flow isn't affected that much. If it was put on the correct way in that location, it would have been a 90* bend.

Thanks everybody, those going to ASS, you'll see it tomorrow. :yahoo:

who painted the car ?

have a nice trip everyone and drive safe. sorry I can't go :cry:. I will be there next year for sure. if I wasn't out of work for the last year :rolleyes2:

very nice, except for the engine cover, not a fan of it.....

like the cover. gm part number ?

Car looks effing sick dude.


Man, how does effing New Hampshire get FiOS before the damn outskirts of Boston.

wait wtf is that a dash over lay!? wtf is that............its like half a dash???

Where did you find the "3400 SFI" engine cover? I would LOVE to get ahold of one!!

Where did you get your V6 emblem from?

Wow, Redog, it looks really nice man. Who end up doing the work in the exhaust for u ? When i get mine done i will need a reliable shop.
