Re: Project Platinum C10
Ahhhh yeah I have to admit that doesn't look good. Which I know that's stating the obvious, what could have caused that?

Re: Project Platinum C10
It's normal.
Don't freak out. Chevy put it there to clear the massive cat back in the day. There are threads on here specifically regarding that part of the frame. It is normal. I know I freaked out when I first saw mine.

Re: Project Platinum C10
The PO took out a leaf spring and it sat about 1" lower, and I would have had to replace the springs to do a flip kit. I just installed a set of 2" shackles. I think I still need a bit more so I am going to get a set of hangers, I think it needs another inch or two. What do you think?

Re: Project Platinum C10
I went and talked to the paint shop yesterday evening and I have to drop my truck off July 8th to get started. I'm super excited!! I have attached some pics of his work. I think I am going to strip the truck down (Trim, interior, grille, etc...) as it will save me 400$. The paint in the picture isn't wet sanded and buffed, just straight paint and clearcoat. I am going to get my truck wet sanded so it will remove any orange peel. Oh and please excuse my ugly mug! lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
That's going to look even better since it'll be wet sanded!

Re: Project Platinum C10
Thanks man! I am excited. I have picked out a few colors I am thinking about using. Please provide some input guys. I have picked Gun Metallic for the top color and Alabaster Silver Metallic for the bottom.

I love the grey that's on my Accord it kind of looks like that Gun Metal color it has a dark tint to it, but when the sun hits it, it has a a little bit of shine to it.

Re: Project Platinum C10
Nice!!! The painter told me to choose my silver and several different grays and we can put them side by side in the sunlight to determine which looks best!

Re: Project Platinum C10
So I was near the tire shop yesterday and stopped to look at my rims because I hadn't actually seen them yet. Snapped a pic while I was there.

Re: Project Platinum C10
I am not sure where I found this pic but I think it would look nice with the two tone like this, lighter on the very top and bottom and darker on the doors hood, ect. I threw one pic in for fun< lol

Re: Project Platinum C10
I don't know how you can stand to have wheels and tires at the tire shop and not on your truck. I know you're trying to wait until after paint but that would drive me crazy
