Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
...the Cheyenne badge looks great, more modern piece though!???? The art that went into these pieces makes it half the fun in putting these trucks together. I love other C-10 badges, but not my '65s...follow your vision right!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Looking awesome! I may have said this before, but normally I'm a HUGE fan of smoothed/shaved trucks. But this truck is just PERFECT with the trim, the sidemarker and taillight lenses, emblems, and the stance with the rims. Great vision and you pulled it together into a SWEET truck!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
This truck is AWESOME! It is tempting/forcing me to spend a small fortune on Porterbuilt parts and start over from scratch on my truck.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
wow...that looks awesome. Could you do me a favor and measure the distance your hood opens. :metal:
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I am just floored with how absolutely freaking cool this truck turned out. I cant find ONE thing I dont love about it. Awesome job with everything! (as usual) :metal:
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks guys I am glad you guys like the truck. I am really happy with the way it is turning out. I have been trying to get the motor in now for the last 2 weeks but I have been so buisy I am having a hard time finding the time. Mario got the drive on the motor so I will post the pics right now. I really am glad you guys dig the build. More pics to come as I progress through the build.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
its right now ....now wheres the pics

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Any chance you could do a "costs" breakdown when this project is done?
I know you call this a driver,... but you actually have a very high dollar build here. (for the average guy) I love everything you have done. I wouldn't change any part of it!:metal: |

If you feel like writing down an itemized list,... that would be great. I don't think most people realized the amount of money it takes to build one of these "on the ground" beautys. (plus it will make me feel better about all the money I spend on my "beaters". Ha.) |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Just think that does not include my labor
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
or any major paint work......
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Just think that does not include my labor
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
My guess,... in my head was around $40k.
(just think if you paid a shop to do all the labor!) I have recently seen a lot of members swear a truck isn't worth $20k-$30k. This is a great "reality check" for all the truck builders out there. Thanks for sharing. Beautiful truck! |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Yup thanks for sharing, looks like I'll be admiring others for a while yet:lol::lol:
...have to do it for the love not the profit, cause there is no profit. Obsessions don't have to make sense, and artists need to express themselves. |

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Damn, Mario did a super job on that front drive set-up - motor looks killer!!! Looks like he's gonna be handling my body & paint now - after your recommendation & talking to him definitely believe he's the man for the job! Hopefully mine will go into paint & body in June. Keep the pics coming on your truck man, your gathering quite the following!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I like your truck better than the $30k blue and white '72.
I'll be looking for it on the cover of StreetTrucks magazine, as soon as it see's it's first major truck show! Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Very subtle motor I like it.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks for sharing the numbers. I was thinking around $40K but you can add at LEAST $10-20K if you hadn't done the labor yourself. Your ride is top notch. It makes me just a little jealous I can't afford to drop cash on my project.....should have gone to dental college I guess. Hmmm
