Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado) - Page 14 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

menace121978 · 09-29-2009, 11:48 AM

check it out!! this is almost how she's going to look!! the color is spot on, the wheels will be Coys and the grille will be either the factory '78 or a thin bar t-rex billet, and i need to ask him to put a 1 piece window... Keep in mine this is a rough draft. just a basic template and Joseph is still working on the final product. jdurant defiantly has some skills!!

well whatcha think! i'll start a thread on the finished product and update this one when i get it.

**nlped** · 09-29-2009, 11:55 AM

VERY Cool!!!

SBTork · 09-29-2009, 01:23 PM

That looks way cool. I like those big slots if someone would make them like that they would be awesome on classic trucks. I also really like the color.

Now that you're inspired.....GET BACK TO WORK!!

joe231 · 09-29-2009, 01:24 PM

JohnC · 09-29-2009, 01:49 PM

BruthaMan · 09-29-2009, 05:44 PM

That "maroon" is going to be real nice! Looks like you've made some good progress!

glock35ipsc · 09-29-2009, 05:49 PM

Oh baby, I like it!!!! That's about the color I want for Fred. That, or a little darker.

NICE!!!!!!

JohnC · 09-30-2009, 08:51 AM

Yeah the Red Jewel tint coat off the TBSS's is a beautiful color.

menace121978 · 09-30-2009, 10:44 AM

thanks guys!! if a custom rendering like this doesnt get ya going i dont know what will!! i've got another from him thats cleaned up but it still has the slots. i'll post it up in a bit.

JohnC · 09-30-2009, 10:46 AM

Yeah those slots in a 20" would look awesome!

silvereagle07 · 09-30-2009, 11:57 AM

Wow, Dennis! I like the rendering. It's going to look awesome. I may have to do the Red Jewel Coat on my two tone. Hmmm....

menace121978 · 09-30-2009, 11:03 PM

thanks guys!!

i got the final one coming!!...

menace121978 · 10-01-2009, 12:14 AM

joe231 · 10-01-2009, 08:12 AM

WOW
I didn't know you were making a hover truck

JohnC · 10-01-2009, 08:15 AM

Oh yeah the Coy's look AWESOME!!!!!

BruthaMan · 10-01-2009, 08:17 PM

Can never go wrong with the Coys! I contemplated back and forth for several weeks on getting them, but decided on the old school rallies for now. Still might do them down the road.

Your concept truck is remarkable!

truckincurt · 10-06-2009, 09:50 PM

what are those rims off of ? thanks alot

menace121978 · 10-06-2009, 11:03 PM

these rims are real ansen sprint's. also known as aluminum slot mags.

they are off of my truck

been on there since the truck was just a year old

menace121978 · 10-06-2009, 11:09 PM

BTW Guys.... our loan mod was denied today. not sure what were going to do... this thread is dead. atleast for now.

i'm going to put her back together over the next couple months and play things by ear. i just hope everything goes back together like it came apart... 1 good thing is i started with a clean fully functioning truck so it shouldnt be too bad... atleast the frame and suspension and brakes are new!Dennis

JohnC · 10-07-2009, 08:13 AM

Sorry to hear about the loan Dennis. No need to get discouraged. Not all builds or swaps go as fast and easy as others. While you start putting Silver back together just keep your eye for detail in line. You can still do a lot with not a lot of $$. You are going to have the truck for a long time. You already know how easy it is to take apart. It can be done again later. Keep your head up man, no reason to be down. You have a sweet truck, and no matter what is done to it will put a smile on your face driving it around.

Sorry to hear the bad news, bro. Have been thinking about you the past few weeks and decided to check in on progress.

Hate to hear about the bad loan. Bad enough with the economy that took a dive from the fannie mae/freddie mac collapse last year and now we're learning about all the crooks in the financial housing loan sector as well.

Hope you can recover and *really* hope you can get back to your build. You have an amazing vision of what you want your truck to look like!

menace121978 · 10-07-2009, 08:31 AM

thanks John... i still cant believe this. this was not supposed to happen to us. all the planning and everything... the lender says we've been on time and current for the last 3 years so they're not even going to look at us. they say wait until it adjusts dec. 1st and if we cant make the payment, then they will reevaluate our loan and "maybe" modify.

ridiculous... have to screw up our A1 credit just to have a chance at remodifying this messed up loan were in. theres nothing out there for the good stand up people who pay there bills on time and do what they're supposed to do and didnt overbuy on their homes.

JohnC · 10-07-2009, 08:42 AM

Yeah that's the great thing about our country's economic sector now. People that are working hard, paying their bills, and trying to make it don't get the benefits. Have you looked into another lender? When we first bought our house our loan got sold to two different lenders in a year. So I refinanced with a local bank here. I actually got a better rate, more knowledge, and I know that if I have a problem I can talk to them directly. Maybe something to consider. I know right now a lot of the lenders are not lending money as easy as they were a couple of years ago.
