That stuff looks great man, i dig the billet cranks.

You have one of the cleanest interiors ive seen ,

How do you like that in dash head unit?

I used to be into car audio, but its been so long im not sure what to get, but would love to have an in dash unit that has dvd/cd /usb and back up camera along with bieng able to be controlled from my steering wheel. ( would be in my Dmax).

I used to have infinity kappa components, they were really clear and rocked!

Thanks Tim, I love it so far. I basically stole it, so I can not complain a bit. Seems to be a nice unit, is pretty strait forward. Has all the goodies, blue tooth, all so can you can use your phone and all through it. I have a few more twists for the interior. I plan to have the console trim surround and cup holder surround hydro-dipped the same color as the denali dash ring, even though I opt to go back to manual, I think the gun metal will accent the the dash trim nicely. As for the kappas, i know there is a ton of other top line stuff, but these have been good to me, as my old kappas were, so feel no reason to change.

For the small tank you're looking at 7k just for the equipment and that's a max size of 4'. You will still need the film which for a good stock will cost you another 2k. It's not cheap to get into hydrodipping and the learning curve is expensive and steep. You have to fly to Florida to take the class too. So for 10k you can start a hydrodipping business.

Well damn we posted at the same time LOL, yah that is where the buuuuttt came in, to get a nice set up is a bunch of money. How long you think before he is up and going. I would rather keep the loot here on the site then out siders.

No idea to be honest. Probably a month atleast. The equipment gets delivered Monday and next week he is going out ot Florida to take the classes. Then Ill have to meet up with him and we are going to make some test runs on my interior trim pieces. I plan on getting rid of all the wood trim and make it carbon fiber. Once we get it done Ill post up a thread and see if there is any interest. If so then Ill consider becoming a sponsor and get a price list together. I used to think hydrodip parts were ridiculously overpriced but once you find out the cost of admission just to start then for the film to do all the interior trim pieces on a crew cab at dealer cost is close to $100 bucks depending on the pattern. It doesnt take long to figure out why getting this stuff done is so expensive.
