15.5 mirrors got a high build primer today! I took I'm pretty excited to wet sand and paint these tomorrow and hopefully get them dipped!

P.s. These are for display so that's why the stems aren't taped off. However I'm gonna wet sand the s**t out of them tomorrow and make them ice rink smooth
Did you sand them smooth first or just build them up with primer and then plan to sand them smooth after?

Installed some airbags in the rear after getting the levelling kit in.

Built a set of mudflaps for towing the trailer. Not entirely happy with them so going to make another set with the bar higher and closer to the bumper.


Then I vinyl wrapped the gold bowties and started painting letters with black chrome. I will get a better picture of them when I'm done them all. Just the tailgate done so far.

Sanded them a little prior to a big build but I don't like to go smooth on textured plastic because you can't redo ABS plastic like you can primer. I'm not the riddler yet lol

Got a trailer done for our son who's 5. We were cleaning up some old toys the other day and this plastic trailer needed to go. A few weeks ago we were at an auction and he wanted me to buy a small metal trailer but it went for more than I wanted to pay. I got ready to throw this plastic trailer away and realized the axles and tires were in good shape so I made him a 7" X 14" with a 2 1/2" dovetail and 6" ramps and painted it his favorite color and floored it with aluminum tread-plate and put wire mesh on the tongue like our big one.
