Noob from VA

[BowtieLady]

Hi all! I'm a noob from Williamsburg, VA. Technically, I'm from TN, just got stranded here a few years ago and haven't made it home yet. I own a black 02 TB LT that I've accesorized in pink. No, its not my fav color but started cause my hubby told me if I put any pink on it he wouldnt drive it. I put a pink bow tie on the grill, but he kept driving it. I kept adding little things, and he kept driving it. Another bonus is that I'm no longer asked if its my 'mans' truck since its obviously a girls. Lol look forward to learning some more diy tips and ideas to finish my truck like I want it.

next on the list is removing that horrid horrid grey molding on the door. But i did see some pink led cluster lights today I want. gotta convince hubby to take dash apart first. So far, he's held his ground and refused, but I'm thinking when I find a 2Din Deck to put in, I might can convince him to kill both birds. lol I've got new door speakers on the way, so i'm going to convince him to let me paint the grey door panels black. you know, while he already has them out and everything lol

Welcome.. Glad u made it over..

Thanks for the invite! i had noticed there wasn't much activity over there, but I was still searching the archives lol I would like to eventually have seats re-upholstered in leather. Found a local guy who's pretty reasonable, but he won't touch them cause of the air bags

Welcome to GMTNation! Wow, you've went all out on the pink!

Except for the embroidery on the seat covers that are being done right now, I'm pretty much done with the pink. Well, cept for the ground wire for the stereo I'm putting in and rims if I can ever find any i really really like that don't cost 4 grand.

Welcome to the fray!

thanks for having me!

Thanks! Oh, the mod bug has been released, just having to restrain it right now due to budget/time constraints lol

Thanks. I'm excited about new ideas for her. She's not looking too bad but is still a work in progress. She does run like a champ though, Ive had her nearly 2 years and so far only had to replace the battery last week. Cept for the time I ran outta gas and ummm used a water jug and fouled out plugs, wires and a coil. :blush: Oopsie, $100 later, lesson learned.

Lol yeah we all struggle with the holding back of mods because of money/time
If you husband paints those door panels, make sure he uses adhesion promoter and paint for vinyl. I didn't and after a while the paint from my door panels started to fade off from where you grab to close the door. I eventually just bought black door panels off an SS so I'd never have to worry about scratched paint or fading.

oh, I'll do most of the painting, he'll just do all the physical work of taking the panels off lol.
we got a can of primer we used on the center bar and i got this for the bumper,

but I guess I'll have to find a diff paint for the interior.....I'll research it here before I do anything lol I'd like to do that too, but i swear I don't think yankees believe in junk yards. The few junk yards that are around don't have any TBs in them anyway. Which is a good thing I guess - lol

AutoZone has the paint/primer you'll need for using on interior panels

Yeah they'd carry it too

You should create a build thread for your rig. A lot of us that are really into modding do. We get a lot of good ideas from eachother
