Looks and sounds awesome! Can't wait to see it finished!

Mr Pops · 12-03-2011, 11:15 PM

Awesome

Saturday night picture time.

After the boys and I re-tarped the house for the coming rains, we got on the fenders.

Just walked in from painting them.

sboris · 12-03-2011, 11:45 PM

Awsome. Always nice to have good help!

VA72C10 · 12-03-2011, 11:46 PM

Cool! Really looking forward to seeing the full view of this monster painted....especially when you get the trim on

Its actually a little strange looking since I am so used to the current model looks of crew cabs. All the new trucks have very little space between the rear tires and the front wall of the bed, really chopped looking - especially small import trucks. My crew cab with the short box looks so much better with the larger proportions between the wheels, so good in fact that the rear of my truck almost looks bobbed or too short. Kinda strange, but I think it's just that I'm not used to this full short box look with a crew cab.

Sounds perfect.. looks great... not to long... not to short..., needs trailer with Restored 65 vette on the back. Was that all for today... Professor Drew.

04 and up half ton crew cabs have the 5.5 foot or bobbed bed. the 2500 series crew cab run the 6.5 foot bed. i like the 6.5 foot myself it looks more in portion to me. keep up the good work and merry CHRISTmas form arkanasas.

Great to see it drivable Drew. Keep up the great work.

I have seen a few trucks & hot rods with the tail pipe routed under the rear axle tubes rather than over like typical. Is that possible with your ride height and suspension travel? It will definitely quiet things down if you can make a tailpipe out the back fit.

jbclassix · 12-06-2011, 11:45 PM

I call shotgun when you get more seats!

When I built my shorty with the Corvette front and rear I ran 3" under like a Corvette and it worked real well.

**Dieselwrencher** · 12-04-2011, 12:37 AM

Congrats on getting those test drives in and getting the fenders painted!

**youngrodder** · 12-04-2011, 12:45 AM

Nice work.. The truck is really coming along nicely..
good luck keeping the house dry..

Marc

VA72C10 · 12-04-2011, 01:12 AM

It definitely has a different scale, but once the hood is on and the trim is on I think it's going to be spectacular! Like you said...I prefer the proportions to the current crew cabs.

tomsprojects · 12-04-2011, 01:29 AM

Drew what is the wheel base on your truck?

drewskiren · 12-04-2011, 11:38 AM

4 inches longer than any 99-06 Silverado extra cab.

**oldman3** · 12-04-2011, 12:21 PM

Looking real good.....Jim

7dee2 · 12-04-2011, 01:48 PM

She's a beauty Drew!

I have to agree with everyone else, sounds good IMO. I would hold off on exhaust work until the interior is in (all sound deadner in place, panels mounting, windows rolled up) then make your exhaust mods if you feel it is needed.

Check out the link below to my hub garage for a little mid year corvette eye candy.

Dinos63 · 12-10-2011, 10:51 AM

awsum!! sounds killer!!

classicchev · 12-04-2011, 02:12 PM

I agree with you Drew, does look horrible!!!!

So when can I come a take that ugly thing off your hands so you dont have to look at it anymore??

Still cant wait to see it with trim.

Now wait a minute, I didn't say it looked horrible. Just different, but if you really want it I can let you have it.

NOT!!!

Low Elco · 12-04-2011, 03:08 PM

Great job and congrats, drew, now, quit watching football and go put the grille in!

docrock · 12-05-2011, 02:41 AM

very cool. thanks for the video

VA72C10 · 12-08-2011, 12:51 AM

Awesome! Glad to hear you are enjoying it. I imagine it will be just slightly quieter when you get things like glass in it
