1995 RMW Jade Project Wagon

I will have lots of daytime pics tomorrow when I finish it...only the driver's side is done (and it was 9:30pm) So that was all the light I had! Part of why we had to stop.

I would like to tint the tails for sure...

i hope it turns out for you,.
usually two tone cars have the dark ontop,.

Easy as store bought pie.

Oh my god. I want it.


Do you think I could cover my cargo floor with that? That might look badass.

Looking good.

You could probably roll them up in it like a rug...... "Yous know how to clean up afta yous wak a guy?"

Well, I wont be putting it on till next weekend...but I really think it will look nice.

Looks good. I'm using the same vinyl on my upper woodgrain trim. Looks great on the car. I love that look.

I'm also going to use gloss black vinyl over my stainless. I was going to paint but thought it might chip or scrape in a parking lot. Good ol' vinyl should cover up most but the worst parking offenses.

Can't wait to see more pics in the sun. I think the upper trim choice will make a big difference. I can imagine a few options all of them looking great.

Looking REAL GOOD - Seeing the pics here you REALLY need to think about getting a set of tinted tails, and then black chrome the trim.

It would really set it off well

^^This. The black chrome would look really sweet IMO, and it's fairly easy to do. As easy as polishing the trim, then spraying some of this stuff over it.

So... Where are teh pics????

He's still busy wit da other side yo

I've seen you... and you are WAY too white for that statement

Yo dawg, it ain't da color on da outside. It's da color on da inside, yo.

Wut Up Dawg...

So, this took waaay longer that I expected. I still have to finish the upper trim tomorrow. I tried to get some daylight shots! (but the sun was setting again when I pulled it out) The tailgate was a b!tch. Messed up on the first piece (but I had a one panel cushion built in) Tailgate is not perfect, but it works. I don't ever think I will do this again. When this wears out, its getting a full repaint. Lol

I know my edges are not perfect, but the trim does hide it. I was trying not to nick the car when trimming....I am sure there is a better way (template making perhaps)

I did tint the tails too

Rims next

Looks damn good though.

the color difference is minimal and it almost disappears at a distance. Cool mod to keep the wood, without looking like you kept the wood......

I like this a LOT!

Patiently awaiting pics with all the trim installed.

I like it Chris, it looks good.

Mike

Two words - BAD AZZ, and tinting the tails just ads to it

You call that tint? Pfft.

Looks really good,.... and yes it does blend nicely.

lay a strip of masking tape for a guide when trimming,
use a ruler and do 1 ft at a time,.
use a mahl stick to keep you hand steady,.


that way you won't "nick" the car,.

"nique"

Ok, that looks feakin AWESOME! Black chrome all the stainless and get some black chrome wheels... Damn sexy! Nice!

That is AWESOME. Looks like a very dark brown when the sun hits it just right, but black the rest of the time. Matches the DGGM perfectly!

Looks fantastic Chris, I am very interested in how this project progresses!

Looks great. You must have a ton of patience to put that stuff on!

That looks great! Needs a couple inches less altitude and some 18's and you'd have one of the best looking cars on here for sure!

that car is impressive. I love the dark wood grain. that should have been factory on the darker colors. having it dropped and put some dark chrome (or chrome lip/ black spoke) rims on it would set it off nicely

Looks killer Chris!

Thank you all for the compliments! Its not perfect..but it sure looks a heck of a lot better than what was on there imo!

Spent today stripping the trim...went for the satin black for now. Black Chrome would look nice, but Im starting to wear down..lol

Dropping it is in the plans, was supposed to happen this weekend too...but it will have to wait for now. Putting the trim and doorpanels on tomorrow! Quick detail and then it should be ok to take to the Auto Fair this weekend.

Oh man, with painted trim, that is gonna be sexeeeeeeeeee!

I like the dark wood, that's sharp! Can't wait to see it back together!

WOW!
I love it. Great job. Now I'm trying to imagine this on a white car. Hmmmm. . . .

He makes a nice redwood too....

Might look nice on white?

Well, the trim is on (except for the front passenger spear...it was jacked from being removed before...gotta do some fancy tricks to get it to stay on)

Also have the door panels on (and finally off of the white wagon)

Next I need to repaint the C pillar trim (DGGM) It is faded pretty badly.

The wood looks nice in the sun, and looks satin black in the shade. Kinda like it!

Chris

I suddenly like wood on a wagon..

Looks awesome.

beautiful! Wouldn't expect anything less from Chris though

That really looks amazing. As usual your work is very nice. Thanks for the great pics.

nice combination looks sweet

I like it cause it's different.

Looking great Chris! Loving the dark wood with the green paint.

I,m not sure i like it,. 'cause it's different,.

i,d like to see a pulled back shot in bright sunlight,.needs some nice rims and white walls or something,.

it,s different,..

Nick

Oh he has a good plan for some rims I'm sure of it. It's almost there.

And the only thing I would have done differently would have been to leave the roadmaster front bumer on so the chrome would be there,.. and then cut the lower section off of the olds bumper and graph it onto the buick bumper.

I'm diggin' it... at first I was wondering about the black wood, but it looks good!

That looks AWESOME!

Well..keep in mind tgat I still have to add the chrome trim on the bumper too. Jarrod is working on custom wheels for me, so I think that and lowering it will help more. Pat and a coworker commented on the belt trim. So I might revisit that once the other things are done. Not a bad change for the money though! $110 for the wood, and $53 for misc supplies for paint and such. Just took a lot longer than I thought it would! Did not get any of my suspension upgraded at all.

Looks good, the rims will set it off I'm sure. Kinda reminds me of that Black one with black wood a few years back....

Well....made it to the Auto Fair in Charlotte! So far, folks seem to like it!

speaking of the bumper do they still make the chrome or a black peace of trim? i got a olds bumper and have not decided to go chrome or black on the trim. on mine the chrome is shot

Fuggin awesome

Locally, I could only find a roll of 1/2 in trim...so I cut a touch off that. Could not find a source for stock OCC trim

Man those pics came out nice - Guys I was one of the first to see it in all its glory. And it is sweet.

By the way the white wagon if the background of the first pic looks pretty good to
