What did you do to your non-G body project today? [2020]

That thing is such a gimmick it amazes me at the dumb sh*t people will buy.

They're even available with built in speakers for "tailgating". 🙄

Or wait until you get rear ended and need to replace it.

A guy at work has a Ridgeline with that setup. It actually doesn't sound bad for not having any actual speakers. It uses the plastic bedsides. Neat gimmick, but nothing i need (he doesn't either).

I'll take a square body with an HEI, a Quadrajet and an electric choke with manual locks and roll up windows any day. Then I'll tailgate with my bluetooth speaker that looks like a guitar amp.

I can see it now, 5 figures to replace a tailgate and a bumper.

They'll be totaling trucks over fender bender'd tailgates.

Except the trucks sticker for $60k. Ridiculous!

Woo hoo, had just enough paint to finish the visible part and the underside will get some rubberized coating when everything finally dries.

Now all I have left is a wasted unibody support under the driver's floorboard and the rust demons will be exorcised for a year or two.

I need some of those for my Camaro. The rocker panels always take a beating with body contact.

wasting another $374 on the ford
anyone ever run across factory exhaust on fords of the era that was double wall? it legitimately is, all the way up. why. nothing fits over or in it, and the outer wall has rust holes in it. so duals it is.

Double walled keeps the heat in to light the converters off faster.
