Picked up a 1st gen Dodge cummins - Page 6

gots_a_sol · 08-26-2010, 08:19 PM

I started to scrape them off, but got bored with that. lol.

gots_a_sol · 08-27-2010, 01:13 PM

Took some time off from body work to address a serious problem of the cummins.

Can you guess what? *edit* I have no idea what happened to this pic. lol

Yea, this little bastard

Mine was out maybe an 1/8". The bigger concern though, was the bolt right next to it was not even finger tight. I put a socket on it and just spun it right out. So I'll be checking the other internal bolts and thread-locking/tightening them as well.

got tired of body work so tried my hand at being a carpenter, haha

This

Goes in this

Which also holds this

The front corners will be cut off parallel to the amp, leading into another section of the console that will run up to the dash and house the 2nd amp (4-channel) and some damn cup holders haha.

Ahhh, the infamous KDP....

In case you haven't looked around already: clicky linky

gots_a_sol · 08-30-2010, 02:12 PM

I made my own tab and got a seal from carquest. Saved $60 over that stupid kit.

gots_a_sol · 08-30-2010, 06:57 PM

more console work

Surprise!

blthomas · 08-30-2010, 09:48 PM

I'd say you're a pretty damn good carpenter. KDP fix is a must. Glad you took care of it.

gots_a_sol · 08-31-2010, 01:03 PM

So yea, ups just dropped off 2 packages

The less significant box, much nicer looking than shitty sealed beam lights.

But they can be better, so time for some destruction

Ahhh, that is what I wanted

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, think that projector is going to be too big

gots_a_sol · 08-31-2010, 02:41 PM

Fug'it, headlights are cheaper than new projectors, so I'll see how it works out.

Slowly getting in there

All the way home. And a little extra, doh. (the projector lens is touching the headlight lens. Will make a spacer ring or something to fix that)

Not bad. Kind of odd on on older vehicle. I'll paint the housings/shrouds silver. Looks too out of place with black housings.

Worked on the console some more. Decided I needed a storage area, so I moved the 4-channel amp all the way to the front of the console. The area is offset so that my wires for the sub amp can run down the right side between the storage area and outside panel.

I made the last 2 pieces for the rear part as well
