Re: Something different thread
Not sure if this is even a Chevy, but it still may give you some inspiration for your truck:

Re: Something different thread
From the Speedhunters article, one of the best grill mods I’ve seen.

Re: Something different thread
It's funny how it all works. We dont want to drive our newly painted hotrod because it might get a rock chip. BUT, we drive our brand new vehicle everywhere and dont think twice, lol.
Paint jobs cost too much these days, gonna do my own and drive it, hope for the best. |

Re: Something different thread
Theres a video out there where folks hang foam pool noodles on the sides of their cars in parking lots!! FWIW I hear automotive paint has skyrocketed along with all other kinds of paint.

That's part of the reason I decided to paint my 64 Suburban myself. I just started last weekend. It was over $600 for 2 gallons of paint. So I can't imagine what it would cost now to pay someone else to do a paint job.

Re: Something different thread
Wasn't kidding about the tinted hippo (rhino) liner on mine. Had the fender skirts, running boards and bumpers done in black on the 54 and its like bulletproof.
On same note anyone noticing they are designing parking lots now with a direction toward maximizing capacity and reducing space for each vehicle? Seen some injure themselves and adjacent vehicles trying to squeeze out and get past the mirrors. Also seen those in beater who slam doors into nice paint jobs on purpose for fun/envy issues. |

Re: Something different thread
Last summer had a person slam his door into the right door of my truck. I got and looked at the scratch in the door. I asked him to be a little more careful as I had a lot of work in the truck He said" What the F*** - Its just an old truck" Almost decked him.....

Re: Something different thread
Use that cell camera and take pics of door and the guy and his plate. May not get a dime but might worry the heck out of him and maybe prevent a repeat.
