The Lair

Here’s a look at bolt on sliders removed 4 years after install. I’m removing to clean them up, skin the top like a step, and repaint, as well as coat the frame rail and plates with anti-seize like butter on toast. Not saying the corrosion is that bad but it’s there and if I let the sliders stay bolted on longer than it would most def manifest to frame rot. If I was to do it over again I’d do weld on sliders. And no I’m not gonna cut this set up and weld them on.. wanna see how all the anti-seize does. Possibly next go around I’ll weld them on if I get the same corrosion results.

You are a shamless selfpromoter lol

 

Wrong forum sorry

 

First mod to the Mako. Be honored Randy.

 

Also got Joe in too.

 

That blue looks so nice in the sunlight.

Also why did you name your car after a cheap autobody shop that paints cars for $500 & does a shitty job at it?

 

I think its named after the mako shark.

 

That could be argued and would make way more sense.

 

For Randall

 

Lol thats maaco. I’ll agree with Tyler and guess he’s naming it after the mako shark.

can’t wait for more to be out in the wild

 

Yes its named after the Shark.

 

But Mako sharks are grey & your car is.....................baby blue? What gives? Is it a rare species that is only know to exist on the coasts of Africa or something?

@FadedComa care to give your opinion on this?

 

Its grey! The new paint reflects the sky a little.

 

Must be a subie thing. My paint is either gray or a weird blue depending who you ask and how the light hits it.

 

Watching randy's video and shameless season 8 at the same time is a lot of work.

 

It is grey, but the color is called cool grey khaki if im not wrong. Which is going to appear blue-grey in most lighting. Especially on camera. My guess is it just reflects blue more than any color, which is why it looks blue.
