DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 So Christmas is coming up in just a little over a month as you all know. My son is finally starting to get old enough to enjoy toys and Christmas, so what better thing to get him than his very own customized racecar bed lol. I am still in the process of finishing it but I will update this as I go along. Now it won't be anything too over the top but will definitley be one of a kind. We painted it the same color my Integra is soon t be, Green Tea Metallic off the CRV's http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/bed.png http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/tysonsbed.png http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/407633_10151264998621907_1555186410_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbs3000 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Haha, I have this same bed sitting in my garage right now. The bolts had torn through so we fixed it up last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurkvinny Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Haha. Your Dad skills > mine. Did you scuff off the plastic first? Or, does the primer make that unnecessary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssFo Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 You need to add a CB radio so he can talk to other racecar beds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted up fix up my kids race car beds when they had them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Lmfao someone posted that very same comment on my facebook! I scuffed it up, rubbed some de-glosser on it and then shot the primer on there. I used the primer just for added peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine just bought a Corvette bed for his son that is pretty sweet. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Jduffey/527477_511968862166480_952283189_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Carbon fiber front lip added lol. I went to autozone and picked up some carbon fiber vynal. 20mins later the racecar bed had a lip haha: http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/558911_10151270322436907_1900950121_n.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/305954_10151270470096907_2045833960_n.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/291767_10151270493131907_1775921676_n.jpg http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p81/alittlelessordinary/644134_10151270493421907_1202655474_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Well I had some extra vynal leftover from the front lip and didnt want to waste it. So I had my buddy who owns a vynal sticker machine if he could use it and do something with it. This is the sticker we came up with. I will post pics in a few of the other stickers we made for it tonight after I get them on the bed lol. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/sticker.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had some friends over tonight and while puttinga few more stickers on it, the anticipation was killing me. I am in the process of uploading the video we took of him seeing it. For now here's pics of the stickers we just put on. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/378957_10151274350151907_1415653942_n.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/306008_10151274350156907_894950616_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
