Re: Jeep Driver Hats (2nd Run)

I recently discovered that none of my PMs are being delivered. I apologize to everyone that has messaged me over the past year and not gotten a response. If anyone would like to include their email address in their PMs, I'll gladly respond. Please note that I am not taking pre-orders for the hats, b...

Jeep Driver Hats (2nd Run)

Jeep Driver hat update #1 (read entire post before commenting): I received the first sample of the Jeep Driver hat last week. They made it with an ugly yellow green twill, but I think that was just to discourage people from ordering one-offs via samples. The actual fabric swatch they want to use is ...

Raptor crate

I wanted a raptor crate. I wanted it to be small enough that it could collapse and fit in my Jeep, so I made one. It took three full days of work, and I'm pretty happy with the results. The effect on crowds is even better with a Bluetooth speaker inside playing raptor sounds from my phone. I simplif...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Been a busy couple months between work, the Jeep (and other Jurassic Park projects), and my third child born a few weeks ago. After getting the Jeep back, I applied the door decals, but there was a problem with the "Jeep" logos for the sides. I plastidipped the light bar because I planned to get a p...

Here's the Jeep fresh out of the paint booth, before I got the decals.

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

How about that? Well, the Jeep may be more easily recognizable now, but its true claim to fame has already come and gone. I responded to a casting call a month or two ago for a film being made in the area, and they were looking for period vehicles. I offered up my Jeep (before I painted it), and the...

My Jeep was on Reddit? Do you have the link?

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

Here she is, all masked up. Apparently, my instructions still need a little clarification. I stopped by to inspect/approve the masking before they painted. I ended up moving most of the lines, so I'm glad I checked their work before it was too late. Fortunately, their placement of the numbers was pe...

Re: JP12 Build - Middle Georgia

I'd tried a light wet sanding just aft of the hood where the Jeep would be painted red. I didn't like the results. I asked the owner of the body shop about it. Now, I know it's in his best interest to sell me on more expensive services, but he was pessimistic about fixing that line without repaintin...
