Zebra madness

[kach22i]

I did it, after many years of dreaming about it - daring myself, I went and did it.

It's not a Land Rover on African Safari, but I can pretend.

Ingredients: One 16 year old Geo Tracker - black. 10 of the cheapest gloss white spray paint cans I could find, and one gloss black no-name can. Three rolls of the cheapest masking tape and some Naval jelly for the rust.

I still need to do some touch up and clean off the old tape glue with mineral spirts, but it's done and I can now focus on other things.

If it were not windy (gusty 10 mph) and if I used the good paint and good 3M tape it, could of came out much nicer. For all the work involved would of been worth it to tape it and have a professional spray it. The next $700 car I do this to will be better - might even fix those rust holes.






This is not the first time I've done something this silly. In 1983 I painted my orange Ford short box van giving it black tiger stripes. In 1984 the Detroit Tigers won the world series, maybe there was a connection.

Those aren't rust holes anymore, they are close encounters with a Rhino.

Genuine Rhino hits I tell ya, it's worth more now.

Who's the crazy one now?

WOW!

Takes courage to make a statement like that! But hell it was worth it!

Purty spiffy for a rattle can job! I think I might get me one of those, the old Silverado is KILLING me at 3 bucks a gallon. Wanna swap?

Should do modification and add porpulsion unit behind and drive her in water......

Does anyone know where I can pick up a cheap aftermarket ricer wing?

I only need the straight horizontal wing/ rear spoiler and side winglet parts, not the vertical support struts.

Used and slighly damaged for $20, not new for $200.

I did not want to get into Paypal and all that - never purchased anything off of e-bay before. However because of your link I found this new wing for only $35. This is tempting.
