Shawn made me do it!

Since we're posting car updates (and my car has NONE since last year, anyway) I thought I'd post my play-mod/mock up of what dubs I'll choose to roll on at this years CJ.

Also... I know the car has rust, it's dirty, and everything else.  It's been sitting there for more than six months.  STILL don't have the rear end fixed, so you can see how in-line my priorities are. Still can't decide if I want to keep silver caps or spray them too.

Silver caps looks great. Kinda replicates the 93 Cobra R scheme. :)

Ugh.. I saw a late 80s (I think) Rustang GT the other day that was red with the wheels painted red in that rattle-can quasi-anodized-look stuff.. and the plastic headlights were taped over (with red tape) to make them look like little round headlights.. it looked hideous. So be careful what you wish for when you ask him to paint the wheels red. That car made my obnoxious electric-blue-trim dash look *almost* normal.

It was a red similar to the red on this, only a bit paler red.

BTW, they look fine as they are now, Brian.. but they'd also look good with the caps painted to match. Whatever ya do, it's still far better than the 8 wire hubcaps I get to stare at every time I walk outside. :sleep:

Neither has shawn, but yes, that's him.  I said "shawn made me do it" because that was the inspiration behind painting them.

all of our cars have something in common, who cares if someones car looks like another, we cant all have uber different cars

find some spare caps, and paint the spare
It's Gumby's fault.
