CP’s Talon Rebuild

[906UP]

Got the dash nameplate done tonight. Spent my lunch getting the nameplate done so could install real quickly tonight.
Went pearl white background to tie in the speakers as well as match the outside. Also repainted the nameplate to match interior trim and the blue on fenders rather then roll cage. I custom tinted that as well.

From certain angles the white has a 3d look because it’s 1/2 below nameplate on opposing side of the clear Lexan. I love that, doesn’t just look like a sticker.

Blue automatically comes on with key but when switched on it’ll light up whatever color speaker/rings and soon headlights, whips and ground lighting does as well as beat to the music.Passengers will remember they are in a Talon not some pos RZR😉

Son of a b!tch!!!......I'm gonna have to run more wires

What amp/stereo/head unit are you using?
I like the idea of using a carling switch sized control panel.

Wish I had your skills. Very nicely done. About time to get it out and dirty

First trip out will be a month away. Hopefully from that point on its go time.

Finally had a little time to get the light bar mounted. Didn’t want it to stick out and still be able to remove windshield so simply cut two slots into the windshield so the mount bolts to the cage. Went with smallest single row I could find and it’s mounted below the front edge to stay out of harms way best possible. Wanted it mounted below windshield but just didn’t seam vision would be there, front end and break over view is drastically different then Pioneer.
Also repaired the bent up wiper arm from previous accident and picked up a nice wiper blade. windshield didn’t have top rubber strip (figure originally did) but pulled had extra door seal from my pickup build that fits super tight.
Fully attached roof and headliner, that’s all solid. Wires ran for future accessories so things aren’t through separate looms. Going to order up 6 switch plugs for now for empty switch holes.
not done but 100% rideable. Still waiting on a couple things but pretty well ready to hit the trails😉

Looking great!

Looking great!

Thanks Mopar. Almost took her out into the MX track in back yard last night but I’d been drinking pretty heavy finishing her up so though better not. Wanna get out and ride bad but got three after hours jobs next couple weeks. Anticipation is at an all time high!

Yea you don't want to screw up all that hard work yet! You have done a great job in resurrecting that one for sure.

Don't do it, get it 100% before you start riding.

I know. It’d turn out like last Pioneer. It’s getting done as much as possible, ordering a few last minute things Friday

Are you going to take her out for a short shake down ride?
