I did GatorHyde's monthly billing today and finished early...so dealing with the frame sandblasting de-bockal...I felt like tearing into my rear end. New 5 lug axels on my list and a nice Eaton Posi coming soon....along with a Glock rear disc set-up!

Axels out!

ChevyDude · 09-27-2007, 05:42 PM

Ok...Got my frame back...Epoxy primer and Blackened Silver Train to follow!

The sandblaster is an ass...no quetion about it. Someone just told me he is Bi polar, I don't know this for sure,...that might explain it...but it doesn't make it right. His business name is : Surcore....and I will NEVER NEVER EVER have him do any work for me again.

Lemield · 09-28-2007, 11:39 AM

Alex...ya need some gears for that thang?

I got a set of Richmond 3:08's for a 3 series carrier that are like new....you can have them if you want them....they are just sitting in a box in my garage.

Let me know...

I put 3:73's in the CST.....

The quote was $150....he up'ed the bill to $350....I agrued and we agreed to meet in the middle at $250. The work is nice, but his business practice is terrible. I too, am glad to have it back and will move on the the next step of my project, never again will I use Surcore sandblasting. To all other's get your quote in writing, had I done that I would have had a legal document, I trusted his employee's word. Which was worth poop!

Lemield · 10-01-2007, 01:47 PM

Bob wants the gears Alex...so they are his. I like the 3:73's better too.

Frame looks good...sorry about the blaster...what an A-hole...

ChevyDude · 09-28-2007, 12:25 PM

Thanks Larry...I've already got an Eaton series #4 Posi in 3.73 on order.

glock35ipsc · 09-28-2007, 12:36 PM

Surcore!!!!!!!

At least it is done, and back in your hands! Can't wait to see it in paint!

[hijack on]
Hey Larry - I sent you a PM. I'm interested in buying your 3.08's, I need a set for the Atomic Orange!

Thanks K5! Dealing with the blaster, sucked...but it's over with and was just another bump in the road. Me tooo...want it painted and bolted together!!!

I was told yesterday that my frame will be all painted and ready to pick up this Wed. the 10th. Excited and ready to bolt up the front crossmember.

I needed to weld up the front underside of the frame before it is painted in this area. PO used the factory holes in the frame as "Tow Hook's". Not too bad for my first welding attempt!

ChevyDude · 10-09-2007, 03:11 PM

Just got my frame back from paint. Man oh man does it look awesome! And now bolting up the front crossmember.

**Palf70Step** · 10-09-2007, 05:18 PM

Very Nice!! I can't do that, I wouldn't want to get it dirty, and there are just too many non-paved roads I travel.

ColoradoK5 · 10-10-2007, 09:01 AM

That sure did come out nice!! Looks like you named your project right!!

ChevyDude · 10-11-2007, 11:02 AM

Well yesterday...something came to me...and...I have completely changed my mind... the 383 small block plans are giving way to a BIG BLOCK. So I will be selling all my small block related parts towers, alt bracket, sbc front lowering springs...you get the picture.

Stoney · 10-19-2007, 01:31 PM

Update?

ChevyDude · 10-30-2007, 11:33 AM

Went on an 8 day Elk/Deer hunting trip, Oct. 19-28 th. Saw elk...too far away so did not shoot. Did the awesome spot and stalk (500 yards) on a very nice mule deer. Snuck, creeped and crawled as close as I could get without spooking him. One shot from 250 yards and a 2 mile carry out. Great trip. In case you're interested, I shoot a Winchester bolt model 70, Classic Stainless with BOSS...chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. Awesome rifle (they are not made anymore). Topped with a Leupold 3.5-10 x 50 mm Stainless Vari-X III scope.

Truck: Currently building Original 68 truck 12 bolt rearend. New Eaton 373 posi, all new ring, pinion, and bearings. New 5 lug axels, Glock disc bracket brake kit w' 93-97 Camaro E brake calipers. Blasted 12 bolt housing painted gloss black. New ECE trailing arms. Pics soon.

Modified my wheel skates to roll my frame around, making it easy to move while all the frame work is in progress.
