Re: a few pics
Sweet!
Your suspension bits are very nice - how much drop are you going for, and who didyou get them from? All you lack is finishing up. |

Re: a few pics
Thanks guys!
The suspension components are mostly stock. the bump stops are shaved off the lower arms and then just painted and new ball joints/cross shafts. The spindles are cpp either 3" or 2.5" drop on the spindles. not sure how much drop exactly but there are threads on here that spell out that setup. pretty cheap and effective! then all I did was a air bag plate on the top and cups in the coil pockets. Also I got my C-Notch bolted in this weekend too. On the cab I got the inner outer rocker panels done cab corners in. welded up gas cap hole, shaved firewall and some of the floor. also media blasted the cab. so it's ready to go to paint, but my pocket isn't yet. haha all I need is to get a bunch of money to Finish it up! LOL |

Re: a few pics
bmfpeterson, the picture attachment feature has been taken away momentarily as we swap to a new server. It will be down for a few days/week.

Re: a few pics
I would suggest 'rounding-off' the corner of the pass side firewall so it matches the drivers side. Do it now..... vs. after the bodywork & paint is done because once you step back & look @ it, you'll ask yourself "why didn't I do it" . . . .....

Re: a few pics
hart rod--- your not kiddn about those wheels! that has been a big factor from the beginning but I want to build the truck that way so i might have to go sell some crack or somthin. hahaha
I think they should look pretty *****en I am getting my paint done by a shop called elite automotive finishes. a guy by the name of chris. I have seen a few things he has done and it looks great! chandler speed shop recommended me to him. scott at chandler speed shop is a pretty knowledgeable guy. he has a later 70's c-10 with a worked 454 in it!!!!! Didnt know they had a show at thoroughbred.. I live right next to them!!! |

Re: a few pics
gloss Black (heavy on the gloss!)
the painter started at $8,000 and then we went to $7,300..... I told him to go back and do some more figuren and call me cause he does good work and I really wanted him to paint it... so he came back at $6,000 said and done and there it sits. he told me he would start on it in a couple weeks. which I'm a-ok with because I definitely don't have the $6000 right now! haha whats up with your truck mike? |
