One tiny Kudos for HappyShark! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Well, at long last, I got some more done on the shark.

I've been putting off cleaning my cross member forever (it's so cold out there and the darned thing was sooo grungy) but I finally got it cleaned, painted and accomplished cleaning, painting and assembling my A-arms and tie rods.

Feel kind of silly bragging here since I see folks who are able to do a ground up in what seems months but...it's an other milestone for me and yet one step further on HappyShark.

Who knows...maybe someday she'll be standing on her own tires!!

Oh Yeah...very nice. Wanna come do mine now?

If you ever get bored & need something to do: "COME ON DOWN!"

Everything I own is a "work in progress."

ETsC10 · 02-03-2009, 02:56 AM

You betcha, I can do your parts, too.
...as soon I finish my other 50,000 parts.

Just how many parts are on a Chevy truck?

...yikes..not sure if I want to know at this stage...

hey man, progress is progress no matter how you look at it. if you spend that much time and effort on the rest of your lady, you're going to end up with one sweet ol' lady.

Looks good. I need to scrape 40 years of gunk from my frame rails.

Yes sir, they are. When the shark finally goes on the road, I am NEVER climbing under there again!
