audiofanaticz Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Its getting cold here so the rims have to come off, the stock ones had heavy clear coat damage from the salt on the roads so plastidip to the rescue! Looks goofy, but not as bad as it did before with the stock wheels.. So much front wheel gap!!! I needed to fix that! Much better, but thats about as low as I can go on stock torsion keys. At least my charging system is working okay so far! Since I was doing recones I needed to reup my CA Glue supply, so grabbed a few pounds of this stuff, and about 64oz of activator as well. Id like to get the headliner back in, but its falling apart pretty bad. Black Lights FTW Got some SMD SunFlash to try for a while, plan is to cure it with the black lights, its not optimal like the sun, but Ill see if it works. Covered the top side of the headliner and mat where it was creased or edges where breaking. Tracking for the 4 UFO BTL recones, thanks to Nick @ Fi for the hookup on them!! Tracking for the 2 SA-18 recones that I popped and another thanks to Nick @ Stereo Integrity which is who made the options for SA-18s to be a thing before they where released as a factory option!! Oddly enough thats 2 to many Nicks to email back and forth with regarding recones at the same time from 2 different companies. LOL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RainStryke Posted October 30, 2014 Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Those wheels may look goofy, but I bet your ride is a lot smoother with those beefy tires. I hated messing with that activator on my last sub rebuild, I accidentally sprayed some on before my spider was in place and it dried up the glue on one side before it could even stick to the spider. Damn stuff makes that CA glue dry in half a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted October 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2014 Took about 30minutes to cure. Which is about on par with regular resin mixed with catalyst that would of been properly mixed. Black lights do not seem to put out enough wattage in the needed spectrum, and if you wanted to do it with lights you would need a High Pressure Sodium lamp. Sure was nice not having to rush to apply the resin and the mat tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiofanaticz Posted October 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2014 Oh and the SA-18 recones came in today for the 2 that blew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofanaticz Posted November 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 Put the headliner back in along with the a-pillars, b-pillars. This box came this morning at 9:09am, which had the recones for the SA-18s as seen above. Had to clean up the baskets. shimmed the coil out with xrays to make sure it was centered in the gap. Folded the surrounds up. Laid a couple beads of rubber toughened flexible CA glue on the spider and surround landing, dropped the recone assembly in, clamped the spiders attached the rubber gasket to hold down the surrounds, then applied activator. 30minutes later to freshly reconed SA-18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broke_Audio_Addict Posted November 1, 2014 Report Share Posted November 1, 2014 I really like the way the truck looks with the blacked out stock wheels and the beefy tires. 1 Quote That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
