What did you get done this weekend? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:33 AM

I actually had a productive truck weekend along with everything else. As always I played sports Dad for my Daughter. Friday night was volleyball practice and Saturday she had a basketball team party. We played Lazer tag and had a ball. I had the high score on both our games.

I went to Dallas to see my buddy Keith (n2billet) it was his birthday, so I went there to wish him happy birthday. He and his wife had a party out at her Moms place in the country. This is their garage/party room. The front looks like an old country store and has an office inside. Then there is a two car stall then a 50's diner style party room in the corner complete with booths a jukebox and a mirror ball on the ceiling. Next to that is another two car stall, then yet another two car stall. Almost every inch of the walls are covered with vintage signs. This place was awesome...

Here's my buddy Keith and his wife in the diner/soda shop...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:42 AM

Ok, now to the truck stuff. I to my 77 to Stoked Out Specialties to drop it off. They are going to install power windows and door locks. There are a few issues with my paint that they are going to fix, and re-dye some interior parts. Basically get it tuned up for the Summer show season.

Stoked out got a new sign up on their shop-

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:45 AM

I got a chance to check out some of their latest progress on the projects they have been working on...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:47 AM

Sweet 48 Chevy they took in that was a bondo bandit. The body was hidious and covered with huge chunks of bondo...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:48 AM

Here's a classic Mercedes they are building. It's been converted to LS1 power...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:49 AM

This is the shop owners new project. It's a 62 T-bird that will soon have a 330 hp small block Chevy motor...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:51 AM

This will be running a Scott's IFS. Here's the cradle mounted up. They built the frame rails from scratch...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:52 AM

And finally some pics of my Blazer. There not much to show right now. The front clip is off...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:53 AM

And the interior is gutted...

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 02:55 AM

A few questions. What exactly is all new on it? Also, what is all included? Was it a lowered set-up? Lastly, what kinda ballpark price are we talking?

low 84 · 02-23-2004, 04:08 AM

did you not see the other thread? lol

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 10:21 AM

No, I guess I didn't. I got in late last night from my trip and downloaded the pics. Oh well maybe next week I'll get it posted early enough so we won't have two...

Actually I was kind kidding, but since you asked. Maybe you should PM me, and I'll give you the details...

Izzy · 02-23-2004, 10:26 AM

Schweet.

That garage owns all.

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 10:31 AM

Izzy, you should see this place. The inside is done with cedar siding just like the store front. The ceilings are done in old tin, and the walls are totally covered in old signs. He has some really cool cars too. You can see a couple of them in the pics...

Sounds awesome.

I'm working on our game room now. So far we've got a 35 year old coin op foosball table and a nice digital dart board. Next comes tine signs, big TV and some neon.

When I was little the neighbor behind us had a car similiar to the one in those pics, had the hand crank horn.

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 01:06 PM

LOHRTBT · 02-23-2004, 01:38 PM

That is awesome !!

How much for the front end?

**N2TRUX** · 02-23-2004, 01:48 PM

Dave I haven't given it any thought yet. The plan is pullthe entire crossmember. I guess I need to decide what it's worth. With this and the rear end set up someone *cough*LOHRTBT*cough*could bag a truck really quick...

He won't even let me fix the cancer on his bucket you can forget bags. Remember he's selling it.

LOHRTBT · 02-23-2004, 03:11 PM

I do want you to fix the cancer..but I have to have it running and driveable to get it to Davis Homo!! haaha

SCOTI · 02-23-2004, 03:17 PM

Guys, that place was the coolest. A little bit out in the boonies.... but way cool.

Ken, Cheryl was giving me grief on the way home.... I told her I could live in that ..... no house needed. Of course for some reason, the house is a bit more important to her

.

BTW, I sent her a copy of the pic (of the guests of honor) & told her to look around @ some of the people standing close by..... apparently you were able to get her in the pic (she normally sprints away from anyone holding a camera).
