The extra effort you are putting into the fenders will pay off big time. Looking awesome!

**67cheby** · 09-01-2010, 09:33 PM

every hour i work on them i keep telling myself the same thing, there is a ton of hours in them already and i have a long ways left to go, thanks Eric for the encouragement

I have one under my 5.7L. But it's going on top of my dropmember C4 in my Blazer.

I know, I shouldn't have said anything, but I just had to.

Good Call Mike!!!!!

Stay FOCUSED!!!!!!!!!

colin_havens · 09-09-2010, 07:46 PM

I think that was the right decision Mike. It hard to not keep wanting to do more when in the middle of a project, but sometimes its best to just stick to the origional plan. I looked for a second at doign a motor swap on mine, but decided against it because I wanted to not prolong the build anymore. Some day, after i repaint and new wheels, I will build myself a nasty carbed LS motor to swap in. Until then and during the motor build, i will still be able to get in my truck and cruise whenever I want a break. Keep up the good work and get that truck done!

**67cheby** · 09-10-2010, 09:28 AM

thanks for all of the support guys... like Colin said its hard not to just want to do more and more, i just have to quit 7 years is way to long...i just have to give up .....i will never catch GVIZZLE....i will never catch GVIZZLE....i will never catch GVIZZLE.....maybe if i keep telling myself this i will quit trying

GVizzle · 09-10-2010, 05:38 PM

Yeah you can.........ship your truck to the Porterbuilt shop for a while. Its all Nates doing.

**67cheby** · 09-10-2010, 05:42 PM

I wish i could......

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-10-2010, 07:01 PM

I agree on the good call as I have been limiting the modifications id like to do as I have not drove the truck in 10 years so I feel your pain..

lowdownstar · 09-11-2010, 08:01 AM

You guys made me feel alot better! i was pissing and moaning about two years, well i wasn't but the boss is! I can't get over how long everything takes to get done, and you don't want to rush it and not do it right. 67cheby your doing it right in my book. truck looks great!

Ray

**67cheby** · 09-11-2010, 10:20 AM

i have got to get it done.......i am tired of seeing all of these other trucks running around mine is getting done...well the body shop said they are starting back on my bed on monday (so we will see what Paint Prison has in store for me !!)..... and what is she talking about 2 years......thats nothing

lowdownstar · 09-11-2010, 11:18 AM

that is what i've been telling her! But i screwed up when i bought this truck and told her i was buying a "driver".... I drove it two hundred feet before i started to take it apart, that was two years ago. lol Then I found this forum and that nathan guy and now you know the rest of the story! lol

good luck my friend, i hope we both get ours back on the road soon!

Ray

**67cheby** · 09-11-2010, 11:24 AM

that sounds like my summer distraction this year, i said honey all im going to do to this little dune buggie is buff out the paint put the motor in and get it running , sell it and make some quick truck money......well it didnt really turn out that way !!

lowdownstar · 09-12-2010, 09:52 AM

It never does but you did sell it and made some cash for the truck so your a head of the game. Keep the faith, we will get them done!
