whats your next project II - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 04-06-2004, 11:34 AM

A few months back I posted a thread asking what you next project will be. Has anyone started, completed, or mad any progress on their projects since then?

I have bought the K5 and redone most of the interior, bought new wheels/tires. Just waiting to get the $$ for the lift to put them on.

My next project will be a lt1 hot cam kit for my truck, hopefully that will make it a little faster.

bigblock73 · 04-06-2004, 11:39 AM

Do we have to ask what my next project will be?

Just trying to finish up Yeller...body will be done fairly soon...then it is just reassembly.

Slonaker · 04-06-2004, 01:00 PM

I have a mostly restored '67 Camaro RS rotting in my garage that I will start working on if I ever get caught up on the truck. Stuff breaks faster than I can fix it.

I'm still messing with the K5....but the '79 C-10 in the garage is begging to be put back together.

8t5Silverado · 04-06-2004, 01:36 PM

a 69 GTO Judge

mhicks · 04-06-2004, 02:16 PM

Right now my son and I are working on getting his '74 C10 painted. Expect to do that this weekend. And I continue to work on my '73 C10. Trying to get it ready to paint too.

ChadM89 · 04-06-2004, 02:35 PM

After the truck, I'm putting a new bike together. Scratch-built soft-tail with air ride, 250 rear wheel, pro-street chopper with a 100-in. RevTech motor and 6-speed close-ratio tranny.

I'm a bike guy.

This was last winter's project:

The Dude · 04-06-2004, 04:07 PM

i am building a chopper out of a 1984 honda 200s atc. so far i have the whole bike torn down to a frame, next is adjust the rake, extend the forks and rebuild the motor.

ChadM89 · 04-06-2004, 04:33 PM

Damn... you've got your work cut out for you! hehe

Sounds like a fun project. Pics!

Gregsmx · 04-09-2004, 05:22 PM

After the Blazer is finished, I'm going to take a break from trucks. I'll be taking this solid '69 Trans Am from restored to concourse. Should be alot of fun.

The Blazer will make a great tow vehicle however!

TIMSPEED · 04-09-2004, 05:37 PM

My next project's are:

1.) Paint/Interior
2.) Fuel Cell
3.) Front Drop Spring
4.) Posi

That should just about wrap my truck up nicely

**N2TRUX** · 04-09-2004, 07:47 PM

Wow this is harder than I thought. First I need to finish the current project(s).

77 Cheyenne- A fresh motor with some real hp this fall.
82 Blazer- Spend a small fortune and finish it.
84 Z-28- Restore for my daughter
67 Fleetside- Buy one already built

NeCrOmAnCeR · 04-09-2004, 08:49 PM

I agree N2TRUX, I have a few projects unfinished:
67 Mustang - starting to put it back together after a full resto
74 GMC - The everlasting project if there ever was one
And as a gluton for punishment, I'll be hauling a 49 Chevy 1/2 ton home in the next week or so.

**Palf70Step** · 04-09-2004, 09:36 PM

I sorta got to finish the two I have now. Who knows what will come after these two. I guess by that time the 96 will become the "project" truck.

C-10volvo · 04-10-2004, 01:08 AM

On the 84: i've started to move my focus from the front fenders to the bed and cab. everything is smoothing out real easy now. i hope to get it primed in a month

as of now, i am on the lookout for a clean audi a4 1.8t 5 speed for my daily driver. thoes things are a blast to mod, and you cannot go wrong with a turbo haha.

87 Shortwide · 04-10-2004, 03:51 AM

Well my truck is in the body shop, so I decided to do some stuff to my wagon.

Got a LT1 4L60E setup for it, put a shift kit in the tranny along with a BTE 2400 stall converter, converted the rear suspension to coil overs, put an LT4 Hotcam kit in the motor along with the bowtie 1.6 rockers and did some other minor mods to it...should make for a neat ride.

TwinTurbo · 04-10-2004, 07:13 AM

Only project left for me is the brake system, still have to replace right front rotor and fix the rear right locking up problem but it's not so bad I can't drive it so I've mainly been cruising.

The project I'm now working on is finishing welding up the frame on my corvette, I reinforced many sections, boxed some up, seam welded the entire frame and am gonna fit a roll cage on it. Also severely modifying the suspension with all new mounting points for better camber curves, more anti dive and revised steering. I finished fitting my Wilwood Integra 6 & 4 calipers. Still to do is fitting the fluidyne monster rad, fluidyne monsterl cooler and the 2 callaway intercoolers.... enough work to keep me busy this year.

Grim Reaper · 04-12-2004, 12:32 PM

Hell if this guy takes my $200 offer It is going to be a 84 Toyota 4runner. Missing transmssion and half disassembled and 90 miles away. It will have to get road owrth and either become my DD OR just be sold at a nice profit and fund other projects.

Current line up includes.
1959 Airstream
1970 Lemans
1968 house that we are going to sell to buy a bigger house.

Yeah, I corrected it. For some reason they aren't letting it link.

Man, this board moves so fast your mistakes get noticed before you can correct them!
