Chad,

Want a partner in the shop? I have run several service facilities and I miss it. :)

That sounds like an awesome idea. I've wanted to have my own shop for quite a while now. Good luck! Truck's looking better with each new pic you post. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

I'll go by and take some pictures of the place today. It's really a nice shop, I can just see 3 or 4 nice "driver+" quality trucks sitting out front for sale and a couple in the bays. Maybe a Camaro or two waiting their turn. :D

I talked to dad about it yesterday as we were working on my bedwood. We'll see what turns out.

My bed wood is finished up. I am SUPER happy with it. This picture makes it look slightly more orange than it really is, .. I think it may be the lighting in the garage or something.

Anyway .. Check it out. The two pieces that are lifted a little are the ones that will be cut down around the wheel wells. They're only 22.5" long so of the boards that might have been checked or a slight problem we had planned to use them in the smaller pieces. All the boards are still not cut to length (77 1/8), they're about 2 in + right now. All this wood was right out of the mill, so we kinda planned it this way.

Do you guys think there would be a market for pre-cut, and pre-finished bedwood? We can get exotics too .. Humm.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

absolutely there would but there are companies that have them pre-cut im sure you know but also nowhere near the quality you put into yours excellent work brother :metal:

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Looks great cant wait to see it finished

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Damn, you could EAT off that it's so nice. Great job! :metal:

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Thanks fellas.. Dad and I worked hard on them. They look really nice in the sun. :D

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

I pulled the pics off my phone ..

I was just thinking while this shop is not really as wide as I hoped, the added area in the back would be perfect for a paint booth. (?) There is also a brand new wheel lift in the bay near the office. I tried to get a picture of the office / kitchen area .. you can kinda see inside.

I can just see several C10s sitting out front for sale in various counditions, driver, bagged, bone stock, just some rallys .. you get the idea. :D I won't be able to do anything at least not for a while.

It is on a four lane too, .. I just shot a picture from across the street view.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Couple more ..

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

That does look like a perfect shop! Id love to have something like that but you'll have to have a good income stream to pay for a shop that size....a lot less than id pay in my area, but I'm sure still a substantial monthly investment

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Silverspeed04 -- You're welcome anytime. You're not that far from me. Are you doing the 2013 HRPT in Chattanooga? June 6th.

We need to get a bunch of trucks together and go. I think Dad and I are planning to either go to Birmingham and catch up with them there, then drive back to Chatt or start in Chatt and drive to Charlotte.

If anyone wants to join us, come on down. Matt (68Stepbed) ??

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

I may do part of the HRPT!

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Come and join up with us. I am taking my black truck and my dad will be in a 1966 GTA/390 Fairlane my grandmother bought new. (Springtime yellow, Mag 500 wheels and redlines, SWEET car) We need to put together a big group and all go together.

They are meeting at Coker Tire in Chattanooga. June 6 2013.

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Sounds good to me!:metal:

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Ok, .. so next question / decision.

Front Bumper guards.. On, or Off ? Smooth bumper?

Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop
 

Personally I only like the guards on a 4wd. I think a lowered 2wd looks better without them!
