I would like to do bucket seats but I have 2 small sons so I am going to keep the bench seat so we can ride around together. Thanks man, long road ahead but eventually it will be done.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Yeah definitely got to make it family friendly that's for sure!!

With time it'll come along even if it's a slow process it'll get done believe me the wait will be worth it :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Just got the price back on the Boss 338's here locally and they are 500$ Cheaper....Looks like I will order the Boss rims later this week.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Sweet bro!!!! You getting chrome or what? I meant to ask that earlier

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Chrome

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Oooooo prettttttttttty!!!!!!!!! :metal:

I must admit, I might have to copy your rim selection I was already going to do chrome but DAMN!!!! those are sharp man! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

alot of texans up in this thread lol itlle look killer with those rims plus i second the stock color

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I third a brown paint job, but that darker color is not one of my favorites. You could have some fun with the paint and two-tone it differently like this one (belongs to a user on here)

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I've seen several people on this forum with these wheels. I wanted the Foose rims but can't see spending the extra 500$ for a rim that looks almost exactly the same.

Dang I'm impressed! we have pretty much a build thread full of Texans :lol:

I wonder where all our guys have been hiding! :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I got some ideas sketched out for my bench seat and for a custom emblem for the tailgate of the truck. The bench seat will be a combo of black vinyl and gray cloth. My plan is to have the portion with the stitched lines the gray cloth and the rest wrapped in the black vinyl. I sent the idea for the emblem to Billet Badges to see if they can make it for me. What you think?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

That should look siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick!!!!!!

the tail gate emblem is different haven't heard of anyone wanting to do that but I'm sure it'll look sick!!

I like the ideas it'll look sick!

Re: Project Platinum C10

What made you chose the theme Platinum, I hadn't ever thought about it and it's really creative!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Back in early 2000 I bought a Ford f250 and they had a platinum edition that I loved with this paint scheme. I've loved it ever since and when I bought this square I knew how I wanted to paint it.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I was wondering if that was the motive behind it, they were definitely a beautiful truck the newer models are not all that. Got to say it's a great paint scheme to have chosen! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks I appreciate it. I see you have a build thread. I'll have to check it out when I have a little time.

Your welcome man, I'm amped to see the paint job now. Yes sir I sure do feel free to come join it, not much has been going on lately but would love to have you join and chime in don't be a stranger!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Took the factory grill off yesterday evening to clean and paint it. I'm hoping the paint shop can paint the brown line going down the center of the grille. I need to replace the headlight but it actually still shines bright! lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Eh......it's just a little dirty! Just use a little windex it'll come right off! :lol: Hey if it still shines bright why replace it? :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

lol :lol: Somehow it got water condensation on the inside of the lens. It is actually clean on the outside!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

nice!!! kind of makes you wonder how water got on the inside though. But I know the slightest opening can cause it.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Well I ordered some big mirrors for my truck as it has the small sport style mirrors and low and behold, one had the mirror glass broken on it!
:/ Putting them back in the mail tomorrow morning!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'm not sure if you're interested in it, but I know Autozone has some big mirrors for sale of course there not the metal like our old ones were but they fit good. Just a suggestion

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Well the company I ordered them from is sending me another set so I should have them by this weekend!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Sweet!!! Looking forward to seeing them! :metal:

This is the item I purchased. Not a bad deal. The mirrors looked great but the glass was broke on one.

Re: Project Platinum C10

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I called DJM Friday and they said that it will take a week or so to ship to me from California. I'll be out of town Friday until Monday so I will do it sometime next week or week end. I would love the help and appreciate your offer!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll be home from work in a few hours but I only have 1 week off this time. Then I go back for 3 weeks. Depending on my schedule I wouldn't mind at all if the timing works out

Re: Project Platinum C10

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Well welcome to the party all genders are welcomed here!!!

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

x2 welcome to our Texas Family Build Thread :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

x3 now we need updates of the texans build !

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Haha, nothing has happened really. Waiting on the lowering kit to come in from DJM and sending the mirrors back because one came in broken. I am contemplating about pulling the engine to change gaskets, cam bearings, etc..... It would be a great time to clean the engine compartment and clean the engine up also. The engine is a stock 4.1 L inline 6 so I hate to put much time and money in it. I plan on running this engine until it blows because it runs really good right now....:lol:
