Great job Cody. I like checking out your mods, as usual, they are unique and impressive.

Can't wait to see it in person at the Snoball500.

Cody, that looks awesome!! Maybe I missed it, but what did you do to prep the plastic? I saw the primer, did you sand it beforehand? Which primer did you use?

I think this should be your DIY entry.

We had some issues with the paint this first time. All my testing with colors and textures was done on the passenger main panel. For whatever reason it caused te last primer to crack everywhere. It was sanded and smooth. When we put the paint on it followed that crack pattern. We ran out of time and put all the panels back in the truck. Afte looking at it, the cracked brown metallic paint actually looks really cool. Kinda like the look I the black plastic on the dash and everywhere else. So plans are to redo everything with a crack in it

And unfortunately joe, I won't be making the snowball. My next semester starts right when we would be leaving. Sucks, I really wanted to go even as a copilot.
