Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
Truck looks great man youre making awesome progress. Did you have to modify the Suburban seats to get them to fit?

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
Yeah that satin does look good. I would shoot it and the step side. Maybe it will help sell the stepside faster! That way you can have more funds for the SWB.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
For a quick sale I would pass on shaving the doors. You will limit your customer base, which will possibly extend the time to sell.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
your fleetside is SICK man... i love how that thing looks... i'd sell EVERYTHING else but that truck. you will regret selling it as soon as you see it pulling out of your driveway. and keep the door handles on... just my .02!! good luck w/ what ever you decide.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
well, had the truck on craigslist for a day before a LOT of ppl convinced me it wasnt worth getting rid of considering all the work i put into it, i love this truck, and i really need the money, but my family said we can hold off and hopefully get rid of the others even th GF begged me to keep it, considering she didnt like it very much since day one, but, did get an interesting trade offer
has a fresh 454 and turbo 400, bagged front and back(not done yet) and the interior is also not complete, great looking truck, but considering all the work i put into mine already, it didnt seem fit, granted, it rush me in school and i'd get it painted faster, but, it wouldnt be MINE |

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
Yeah I don't think you would be gaining much. Some of the body work is done, but yours has other things done to it. Not really worth the hassle for a trade. Plus like you said it's not your work in it! Glad to hear you are keeping the swb. Hope things work out.

asmentioned before tho, i replace my carpet, i tried cleaning it, but was way gone, afteran hour of scrubbing and power washing, still looked like crap, i figured it wasnt worth it to put it in, so i got a 10 dollar roll of carpet and some glue from oreilly, and got to work, was my first time, but turned out ok (carpet is temporary til school funds come in for the real thing) |

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
well, i drew this one a while back, and still really like it, but may instead of orange, do lime green, or, a tribal flame job, i have been obsessed with flames since i was small, loved hotrods, always drew flames in my spirals books, and recently went into a tribal phase, so why not best of both worlds? its a very rough sketch (to keep you guys from ripping my head off lol) and i kind of like it..

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
I like these designs much better than the original one. Your doing a great job of designing flames.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
thanx! my dad was also very suprised!! and only cost 22 dollars! you actually need 2 rolls, i only had enough for one, so under the seat back isnt done, but, its temporary, but looks good, its weird how much the carpet can change the look of the interior!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
thanks for the compliments guys! and yes i did do all the airbrushing as well, (first time airbrushing as well) and i didnt agree with the painjob at first either, but it belongs to the school, its a joint project including auto tech and auto body, it is to showcase our skills and hopefully get the school more students
