Re: Project: "Home Grown"
PM sells are a no-no, but I would be interested in the spindles once you put them up for sale in the parts forum....gotta be fast with the trigger over there

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Received the rest of my sheet metal Friday and my Cross Drilled & Slotted rotors. Cleaned out the garage, and picked up Home Grown from the storage shed, left her out in the rain all Saturday I was out of town
 no glass, no tarp.Anyhow, getting ready to cut the frame up for all my PB products and then fit sheet metal. Anyone have some suggestions on who to use for front grille rings and headlight bezels? I think that's the only parts I still need for body mock up. |

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
One of the fenders I received from Goodmark "In a Triplus box" It looks great, lets cross our fingers it fits the same.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
I like where your going but you DID ask so take it with a grain of salt, but I think new car colors belong on new cars. These trucks always look classier with original-ish color schemes.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
That's a nice blue. I like it. There is a blue sorta like that on newer GM trucks also that I really like.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Just got back from a long evening at the shop with Home Grown, I hate grinding! Between the rivets & the billion odd holes I had to drill I am sore as hell. I was able to get one full C notch installed, and the mojority of the other side all set, minus the frame cut. Pics tomorrow.

Re: Project: "Home Grown"
Sat afternoon, just about rapped everything up, still need to finish a few holes, bolt everything tight, and mock up shocks, then install bags.
Removed cab from chassis to aid in Trailing Arm X Member install. My friend charlie came out and lent a hand, as you can see he was already sitting on the job Went and cleaned up a bit tonight at the shop, tomorrow I will be installing the trailing x member, and bags. |
