A BIG Thank You To Rokcrln - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BigMike · 04-29-2007, 06:51 AM

I had always wanted to shave my firewall and cap the wire gutter, thanks to Rokcrln for some "motivation". After looking at the threads on Project Lemon Drop I was inspired, and after a quick PM from Rokcrln, I got my butt out in the garage and did something about it. It's not nearly as nice as Lemon Drop, but I'll be happy with it (his angled wire gutter cap is the bomb).

Sometimes thats all it takes to motivate me, I wish I would have been motivated to do this before I had painted the firewall 8 or so months back

...better late than never, right

I know what you mean Mike. If I keep watching what Rokcrln (and you also for one). Just about the time I think I am done with the metal work, wham yo guys come up with kool ideas. I'll be welding on mine for the next 12 years at this rate. But hey, I am building up my skills as a welder.

Thanks for the kind words, but my truck is not in the same class as some of Rokcrln's stuff, he is amazing. I try to do the best I can with the space, tools and ability (and $$$ of course). I am fortunate that I can at least do all of my own work. I always tell people that I am the Jack of all trades and the Master of none (my Wife hates it when I say that).

Oh yea, here are a couple pics for now. I still need to do some fill in welds and remove my painted M/C & Booster as well as my steering column so they don't get scratched, also so I can re-paint the firewall when I'm ready.
