Nice progress, did you figure out which holes you need to keep for the go pedal?

jmedero · 07-07-2013, 11:29 AM

I'm a kit 90% sure I'm doing it.

Rob he used the raptor liner kit I will be ordering it this week.

Buck I did thanks. I realized I have a pedal set up for a 90's truck. I think I might be missing a part or two. Should just order the lokar setup. It's nice.

Decided to get off my butt and stop watching other build their trucks. Welded up some more of the fire wall and started to do my most favorite thing in the world..... Body work. Amazing how much sand paper you go through so fast. Need to stock up.

Thanks. The top of the drip rail that runs from side to side on the fire wall. How straight should that be? It has a natural frontward slope to it. As of right now it's a thin coat of filler to level it off. Should I be making that lip flat with no forward slope?

Working on a slight detour here.... Just doing research on a couple of diff options for a brake upgrade. Got a call Saturday and my motor for the Burb is done!!! Woohoo. He also told me my Nova motor will be done tomorrow. I guess I better get busy here I'm running out of room in the corners of the shop. I guess these are good problems to have.

On our bolt in ifs for the c-10 trucks.

1.We have one that uses a mustang II spindals

2.We have one that uses a c-10 spindal

On Juans set up the upper and lower a-arms will have to be changed to our a-arms that have the c-10 ball joints in them

The guys at Scott's throwing down and making my custom trans mount with drop out center section can't wait to get it at the house.... Come on UPS.

jmedero · 03-11-2014, 07:46 PM

It has been a long time on any updates. My motor and tranny are done and I picked them up today. I'll be painting all the brackets and accessories black. I'm not find of the tranny color so it will prob be black soon. Time to get this project back on track.

jmedero · 03-11-2014, 08:11 PM

Now I need to find one of these.

likaroc13 · 03-11-2014, 10:49 PM

Git r' done Juan! Good to see an update. Congrats on getting the motor & tranny back. Looks nice! Hope things in P'cola are going good.

jmedero · 03-11-2014, 11:44 PM

Thanks Phillip. How's it going man? Pcola is good man. Working like a mad man, but that's a good thing when you sign your own check. Lol

Glad to hear business is good! I'm sure it's about to really pick up for you. I know I'm glad to have nicer (consistently) weather rolling around. Things are pretty good here.

jmedero · 03-12-2014, 05:22 PM

Glad I don't have all that winter weather anymore to deal with. How's black Betty?

Yeah, we actually had a bit of a Winter this year. Not so much last year. We had that ice/snow front that came through in early Feb., which was not very typical for the area. Can't complain too much though, because lots of folks have been hammered with Winter this year.

Black Betty is resting comfortably. Hope I can get my dad going on it again soon. It would be nice to get her on the road this year!

jmedero · 03-12-2014, 10:21 PM

Nahhh just give me the Address where she is and I'll pick get up. And put a stack of $5 bills in her place.

Sounds like a plan...

NOT!!!

justpball · 01-17-2015, 10:11 AM

Hahhah^ good stuff

likaroc13 · 01-17-2015, 10:54 AM

What's up Juan? Saw a Facebook post recently with pics of a recent detail job. Keep up the good work. If I can get it worked out, I might have some detail work for you once the weather warms up. Hope you guys are doing well. Lot of changes for us the past few months.

jmedero · 01-17-2015, 09:44 PM

Sweet man let me know.
How's my truck doing? Lol

She's still resting comfortably.

Been talking with my dad about getting her back going this Spring hopefully. We just recently moved to TN, & we're about 2.5 hours from my hometown. My goal is to get it back on the road now that I'm closer & able to help. Dad was diagnosed with cancer in Oct. though, so we're trying to get him on the road to recovery right now. Long road ahead still, but things are looking up. I'll get with you when I'm ready to give my Tahoe some attention.

Looking forward to some updates on the Burb!
