Nice ride!

If it's affordable I would order an extra set of cladding and have it painted gloss black. Then keep the matte stock cladding tucked away in a guarded safe. :lol:

I've been thinking of painting my stock cladding but don't want to do something that you "can't go back to stock", especially on the cladding since it's rare.

Why would you not be able to put the stock cladding back to matte. They do make matte black paint!

Nice work. You swap is geting close to been finished. Will be nice to see another process come out for sale. New old stock is great,but sitting in a box for many years the plastic still breaks down and the tabs will break easily. Box corners and front fender cladding would be my first choice to reproduce since demand /prices are the highest.

Yeah I had to buy a new front bumper for my truck because the one sitting for 3 years ended up all deformed.

Makes me wish one of the molds I have done was the front bumper mold! But alas, I've been scared to do that piece just yet as it's the largest of the bunch, and the most expensive to replace if I ruin it during the molding process.

I agree that front fender cladding would be the first thing to produce and front bumpers since they fit both trucks. Door and kick panels would be the last thing I would do.

If thats a Syclone driver side eyebrow, I'll take it......:lol:

It's actually for my Typhoon. I have NOS Syclone eyebrows though that I need to make the molds for. Been focusing on the Ty pieces so far, but I've got most of the Syclone specific pieces ready to mold.......just need one more rear corner and I'll have the full set.:tup:

And the front fender cladding is one of the larger, more frustrating pieces to mold. I have not perfected that piece yet.

Dan if you decide to make reproduction front bumpers do let me know. I would be interested in one. I swear my front bumper gets more deformed every time I look at it.

Yeah I am contemplating making a mold before I put my truck back together. A mold that big though..........dang that's gonna be spendy..

Dan, if its worth anything... I think out of everyone who has ever attempted the reproduction cladding challenge, you have always been in the #1 spot IMHO of making the best product. Of the pics you posted in the past before you stopped, I was very impressed with your molds and attention to detail. I'll admit, kinda bummed you dont post pics anymore, but I can understand why you dont (probably the same reasons why I dont post up FG/CF projects I have going on).

I really hope you finish full sets of SyTy cladding in the future and able to see the benefits of your time spent by being able to sell it too. :tup:
