SATOSHI MOD --- 1st gen. write-up (lots of pics)

Yea I wasn't to set on it at first because the remaining parts I need are the most costly ones. So if I do go through with it it'll probably be a while

I love the 01-04 front end so much more than my 99's

 

yea id have to agree with you on that. although i have a proposal. you are good with the needle mod... and im good with the satoshi mod.... i send you my dash and you send me your grill...

and we'll call it a day.

 

Are you bustin' my balls bro?!

That sounds like a GREAT proposal

 

hahaha naw man im sayin you need to get that 01-04 front end on yo truck!

 

Haha damn you!

 

make a write-up for it

 

If there isn't already one by the time I do it than I will

 

there is a link on the DIY 1st gen. thread but it doesnt work

 

i really over-did this write-up hahaha



added a video

im done with it. nothing more to add to the wite-up...

 

NOICE!!!!!!!!

 

You are the man, the only ? I had was 'how the eff am I gonna get the hood open?" BOOM, you got answers!

 

i try man. i try.









a little too much on this one, honestly. lol

 

looks like you bondo'd the bottom at first and slowly bondo'd the entire inside of it?
reason to bondo the corners/top ? or am i just a derp.

 

i used bondo to fill areas in the entire inner surface of the grill including the bottom area where there was no need for fiberglass.

i was anal and wanted it as smooth as possible.

in reality i didnt need to use bondo in those areas you are talking about. the alternative would to sand down until it was smooth.

 

also when i was cutting the middle original grill out with the jigsaw i made a few mistakes and made gashes in the inner surface and i needed to fill it bondo

 

alright sweet. this is on my list of to do soon and i appreciate a solid diy thread

 

no problem

 

is that the m4 mesh?

 

M1

ill add that to the build thanks for the heads up

 

No sure if anyone asked already, how much time do you have into this so far and how long will it take to complete?
