Copperhead Modified - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

xmitsu10 · 06-06-2007, 10:34 PM

Sorry if this is old news but I just got caught up on my weekend TV (I love my DVR!). Anyways, on Stacey David's Gearz show, he modified the front bumper on his Copperhead '72 C10.

He added bumper material to the bumper ends to make them wrap around tighter to the body. It was a lot of work but it turned out pretty nice. I certainly don't have skills to do it. As he said in the show, it's the details that makes a ride "pop". Hope he shows the bumper when it's chromed and done.

There are some pictures of the bumper project at the bottom of this link http://www.gearztv.com/index.php?em2...&content=shows

I like it.

72BlckButy · 06-07-2007, 02:06 PM

I watched that show this past weekend. The bumper tucked in quite nice, and filled the gap between the fender and the bumper. I'm still partial to the original bumper fit, however, like Stacey said, it's the little things that will set your truck apart from everyone else.

For a mod like this one, most people wouldn't catch the concept, or the extra work and craftsmanship that it took to tuck and extend that bumper.

ColoradoK5 · 06-07-2007, 05:18 PM

Yeah most people wouldn't but the ones that know these trucks would and most importantly you would! good looking mod 4 sure.

LUV2XCLR8 · 06-07-2007, 05:23 PM

Not too shabby, I wonder if Bryan (Yellow69) has seen it yet? He lives
right down the road from Stacey outside of Nashville. (Lucky Ba$tard)

5150 · 06-07-2007, 07:42 PM

nope not yet. Really nice guy, but I can tell he loves his privacy so I always feel bad when I talk to him. Don't want to be one of those annoying morons who won't stop talking.

71chevylowrider · 06-07-2007, 07:45 PM

Stacey rocks, I love his show & I also love my DVR.

71chevylowrider · 06-07-2007, 07:50 PM

Hey Yellow, just for the fun of it, do you think you could tell us what he drives on a regular basis? Not too specific, don't want to invade his privacy,but I'd sure love to know considering the bada$$ rides he's created, does he drive a Classic Hot Rod? Vette? Viper? Plain old brand new truck?

5150 · 06-07-2007, 07:54 PM

What I mostly pass him in is his Lil Red Wagon Dodge Pickup.

71chevylowrider · 06-07-2007, 07:59 PM

Ha! The one he built on Trucks? Man, it would be copperhead for me, I love that truck!

LOW DOUGH · 06-07-2007, 08:14 PM

Awsome, I didn't know what or where he went after trucks. But, I can't figure out when the show plays and what channel. It's ESPN something?

5150 · 06-07-2007, 08:17 PM

ESPN 2(dos, the deuce, etc.)

on Saturday and Sundays

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-07-2007, 08:27 PM

i keep forgetting its on

yellow69 - i hate you.....................

OlChev67 · 06-07-2007, 08:41 PM

I thought about it on the way home, I said earlier if I was him I'd be driving Copperhead home, but I guess if a guy as popular as Stacey is likes his privacy, there's no way in hell you could drive copperhead around, especially to your house, then everyone would know where he lived. Maybe he still sneaks it out once in awhile & does some 300 yd. burnouts like he did at the raceway on Trucks.

68MoneyPit · 06-07-2007, 09:33 PM

that is the goal for my truck. I fell in love with the body style of the 69-72 at a swap meep when I was a kid and was not even aware of the difference with the 67-68. I am now the proud owner of a 68 swb that I found for $700 and with any luck I will be driving my own version of copperhead in the next 1-2 years

mnunn454 · 06-09-2007, 08:37 AM

Yeah, I loved the copperhead series too. It sure opened my perspective as to what's possible with some skill, some time, a dump truck full of $100 bills and a mile-long line of sponsors waiting to give you free parts.

Maybe it's been asked before, but does anyone know if a DVD is available containing just the copperhead shows? There's lots of tricks and details in there that are worth gleaning.

65-72 chevytoys · 06-09-2007, 03:30 PM

I only caught 5 minof it. I wish I had seen the rest.

Frizzle Fry · 06-09-2007, 04:11 PM

I plan on doing something like that on my 61, only a step further. Something like Troy did on Chicayne:

72BlckButy · 06-11-2007, 01:23 PM

That would look sweet Frizzle Fry.

71chevylowrider · 06-11-2007, 01:33 PM

Holy crap Friz, that thing is big, beautiful & sexy, kinda reminds me of a.....oh, never mind

That 61 really is sharp, you gonna bring it to the beach's cruise in maybe? I'd love tosee it in person one of these days.

Frizzle Fry · 06-12-2007, 06:54 PM

Ya, those bumpers are nice. The price of chrome is getting scary though

I'll drive the thing all over the place when it's done. The key to that is working on it again

Tahoe first
