Re: Air ride G2 project
Thanks Ron!
I can't wait to get it all buffed out and see what it looks like in the sun. I shot 2 coats of the pearl hoping that it wouldn't overtake the blue underneath. We did some spray out cards with 3 and 4 coats of the pearl and it really made the final result milky looking rather than blue... I sat down last night after talking with a buddy that is an engineer and studied how to wire up the 48v -12v reducer, fuse block and the rocker switches. I know it's very redundant, but I have 6 switches that I can use. I'm thinking of taking the power from the voltage reducer to a rocker switch and then wiring the fuse block as an accessory. The air ride, stereo amp, lights, and usb charger will also be wired to switches to turn them on & off. If I'm thinking correctly, then engaging the fuse block rocker would be like turning on a main power key. Any wiring guru's out there feel free to chime in! This would leave me one switch left to possibly run some blue led interior lighting if I decide to go crazy.... Here are some pictures of this weeks progress. |

Re: Air ride G2 project
Here are a couple more...
The seats are off getting redone and should be back next week. And I think I will have one of my star students paint the 3 gallon air tank black to match everything else. |

Re: Air ride G2 project
Wiring is all done on the dash panels. I ended up replacing the simple voltage reducer to one that operates off a key switch. I used 5 of the 6 rocker switches so I have a spare in case I think of another accessory that I want to add in the future. Not as clean as I would have like but it's the cleanest I knew how to make it.
I found some LED bulbs that plug into USB charging ports, so I placed one in each seat back tower to give it some Led glow at night. I also wired an USB charger into the cupholder so I can keep my phone going while playing pandora. I think Santa is bringing me the bluetooth stereo amp today! |

Re: Air ride G2 project
We got the seats put back on yesterday. I'm super happy with the way they turned out! I asked her to keep the stitching in the same theme as what the stock covers were and I believe she nailed it.
I think the "bolster" or hump in the middle of the butt seat will help me from sliding around too much. Wish I had thought of having her put a cup holder in it that is Turvis Tumbler size.... We also installed the upper front body panel hopefully for the last time. |

Re: Air ride G2 project
Shadow,
I used a Polyvance airless plastic welder for this project. I had a second set of body plastics so I cut skinny strips of the spare plastic to use as welding rod. |

Re: Air ride G2 project
Spent the day at school working on the final assembly. Spent over 2 hours just getting the gas lid to hinge correctly... hind sight is always 20/20 but I should have figured all this out before paint. Nothin' a lil touch up can't take care of.
I had a buddy come by and look over the carts unlimited C54U wiring diagram to triple check that I have all the wiring straight. Have just one question in to ScottyB before I hook up the last battery cable and pray that there is no smoke... Still need to color sand and buff the horizontal surfaces. |
