Project NORUSH - 71 Build - Nothing but the Best
Always dreamed of building a 71/72 C10. Bought a 71 K5 2wd in July. Flipped it a couple months later. Bought a 70 half-done project. Flipped it 2 weeks later. Finally settled on what's described below.
She started out as a damn nice built '71 C-10 SWB with a 6.0 Swap and a half-resto done. Upone getting truck it was nice, but I wanted it perfect. I'm going for a Pro-Touring Cruiser that a 70 Year old or a 17 Year old would kill to have. Cory Scott with Kustom Werx in Conroe, TX is doing the build. He has built some of the baddest most recognized classic trucks in the Street Truck world for decades. You may not know his name but you would recognize his work. It's the best and it aint cheap lol. My last name is RUSH hence NORUSH but truthfully build will be done in less than 6 more months (started 3 months ago). Literally not sparing any expense or cutting any corners. Suggestions are welcome b/c this is my first classic build. List of Purchased Items:
List of Work to Be Done:
Undecideds:
Obviously this aint everything but it's a damn good start. I'm really open to ideas and input since I'm going balls deep on my first classic build. I'm no foreigner to the modded Chevy world, but this territory is a little unfamiliar. Like I said this build should be one for the record books. I know a lot of these get started and never get done and are a lot more fluff than fact but no bull this is gonna be a good one fellas. Pics so far.... As she started.... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...01652888_o.jpg Rear Shot as she started...good pallet but not perfect lol.... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...41981356_o.jpg LQ4 swap (6.0 like Ls2) already done. Runs great. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...17499184_o.jpg Have original un-cut dash going in and hidden a/c https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...93877923_o.jpg Bench has gotta go... https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...20338210_o.jpg Let the Madness Begin.... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...46400236_n.jpg Oh hell...rip the motor out let's powdercoat everything.... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...71078852_n.jpg No Turning Back now.... https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...47830225_n.jpg F me.... https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphot...16280377_n.jpg Wheels I'm leaning Hard toward. Like the Boss but the lip is tiny and want Billets. Kinda wanna do HRE but these have such a classic look to them and no one else really has done them yet...Wheels also kinda look like Old Chevelle SS Wheels and that's the theme I'm kinda going towards http://i536.photobucket.com/albums/f...S/IMG_2481.jpg 99% Sure on this color. Chevelle Shadow Gray. Thought about some type of black stripe or accent to tie in theme more. Most likely nixing that idea.. http://www.classicmusclecars.com/ima...oom/1986_4.jpg More Pics to Come.... |

Re: Project NORUSH - 71 Build - Nothing but the Best
Everything is back from powdercoat and being assmembled. Should be a roller by end of next week.
Went ahead and orderd the wheels on friday.. Billet Specialties Mag-G - 20x8.5 and 20x10. Gonna go 315/35 in rear. Wanted to go 12" wide but tire selection was crap and really wanted to not get too wild with it. http://www.billetspecialties.com/ass...L59G_Mag-G.png http://www.billetspecialties.com/ass...Mag-G-Side.png |
Re: Project NORUSH - 71 Build - Nothing but the Best

Re: Project NORUSH - 71 Build - Nothing but the Best
I keep going back and forth between Chevelle Gray and my original plans....I'm 99.9% sure i'm going white/black/white/black two tone with trim. So torn. Love this truck below. It was my original inspiration for the build....
Take a look at this sucker. Truly a work of art if you haven't seen it http://www.philferrarihotrods.com/pr...touring-pickup |
Re: Project NORUSH - 71 Build - Nothing but the Best
This truck is going to be sick, Im a big fan of the two tone. Big Al 71, where ya at man, this is all you.

I tried to get Big Al to part with his before I started this lol. He keeps texting me white/black two tone pics to taunt/tempt me lol. I want the full 71/72 trim no matter what paint choice I go but the choices are 1. Black/White Two Tone (roof white or black????) 2. All Shadow Grey (1970 Chevelle color above) 3. All Jet Black. (never gets old in my book) |
