Re: New member from DFW, first truck build not starting where I thought!
yea, on most stuff, I think I can end up getting my front and rear roll pan for like 35$ Door shells are about 90$ I picked up fenders for my foxbody for like 28$ each. and that's new aftermarket lol
Salvage it depends how many we have, how long they've been in stock etc..

Re: New member from DFW, first truck build not starting where I thought!

I say 'Great what year, model, coupe/sedan etc.' And they'll stop on one of them and say 'oh Sh!t, I don't know.' I'm like how the he!! can you call and want a quote when you don't even know what it is?!

Haven't decided on paint yet? Those wheels will look killer with whatever color you decide though for sure!

It's running good, I've probably put around 300 miles on it. haven't worked on the truck much this week though, and no new parts will be coming up for a while, I missed some work putting the motor in so my paycheck suffered and rent/electric/water is due along with one of my surcharges. So I won't pick up anything new for at least 2 weeks :/ Any thoughts on the paint scheme I'd brought up earlier anybody?? Satin black, keep my step bumper, and paint everything chrome a Glossy black?

Re: New member from DFW, first truck build not starting where I thought!
My brother built a pretty nice shop out at his place, but he lives like 45-hour depending on traffic conditions. but I have a detached garage at my apt that I pay an extra 40$ a month for... not too bad, I still keep all my tools in teh apartment though :p

Re: New member from DFW, first truck build not starting where I thought!
I want to build a shop at my house but my wife thinks it's a waste of money and I don't have much land. A 1/4" acre lot doesn't leave much room for a shop....lol. Looks like I need a new piece of property.
