ok, that last one reminded me of a REAL ghetto mod i've got...



nevermind that the battery is crooked, and forget where i'm pointing. look to the left battery tie bolt. That is a home-grown piece of all-thread with a deep socket (you know, like a 1/4" drive 3/8" SOCKET) as a spacer to reach the intake.

man, I gotta revisit that one!

kudos on the magnets, but Ihave to admit I did laugh at the wire mesh, great idea though, while ghetto, it does seem like something McGuyver would do lol. I dpon't really have anything ghetto in my car (heckI don't really have anything done with my car yet LOL) but I love the magnets idea cherrybox.

unless you installed it after the cat, i'm not sure how that qualifies as 'ghetto' . lol

give me a magnifying glass, i'm sure I could find something on ya larry

Wow, 2 pages of pride so far. I love it. lol

Kinda working with the whole "torched" theme.
The pics


The video
Kids love it, so I guess it was worth the 500 plus hours engineering it to work.

again, the only way i'd consider that 'ghetto' is if you had to hop out and light it by hand

in the process of shaving my emblems off i ended up scratching the paint a little.. so i ended up putting em back on.. so i painted them (using the Hammered paint)

That's a CLASSIC! I did something like that on my '56 Harley bobber -- I have a 1/2" combination wrench permanently attached to a bolt to act as a stop so the handlebar doesn't bang into the gas tank . . . .

ghetto mod #2: After a couple of days of completing my radio led swap, buttons 5+6 went out. too lazy to fix it. thing is though, if you push the buttons REALLY HARD they light up




but the really funny thing about this pic is youll notice that all four clock leds are lit up (i just took this pic), well, the two leds on the right side of the clock have NEVER worked, now alll of a suddent they work for this photo shoot.

Rob is the king of the ghetto mod! They all look clean as hell, but when you know how they are done, it's ingenious! You'd never know! I am going to emply Rob into my new Make crap into mods business! Him and Clay, basically they will walk around Wal-Mart looking for ideas, and then when they come up with something head into the shop to work it out!

Well buckaroos, if you were thinking about using snap caps to look like cherryBox, forget it, because #6 caps are too small, #8 are too big, and they don't make #7.

You might have better luck with Philip-head tap caps:

...or just use magnets.

the wiring under my hood, or the diamond plate behind the bumper to hide the led tubes, I'll post pics once I get them, the wiring is hidden for shows though

BUHAHA!! Super thread! STICKY VOTE!

how

when I wired my sub to the deck, I didn't have a soldering iron so I used butt crimps. Well I f'ed up a crimp so I had to use a 12ga wire nut . I would take a picture but I had to skin back the insulation on the wire sooo much to fit the wire nut that it has NO slack. I'm scared to pull the deck foward.

Eventually I'll get back there and redo it the right way.

that's how i had to get mine to sit in the middle of the cutout and not burn the sides.
