Hooter · 01-03-2005, 12:45 AM

wow thats good work! I would never even imagine tackling something like that!

c-1072 · 01-03-2005, 12:46 AM

here one more .

**Canadian694x4** · 01-03-2005, 12:47 AM

Wha?! Amazing Dude!

c-1072 · 01-03-2005, 12:57 AM

I love nothing more than to take a sawzall to a truck and just chop it up ! The hard part is piecen them back together . I must admit when i saw the pictures i thought i was crazy (I never looked at them when i took them ) I find it very intreuging to find out just what holds these trucks together , call me crazy but what can i say it sure was fun .

68w/sbc406 · 01-03-2005, 01:00 AM

thats some nice work. a friend of my dads bought a @$$holed lexus GS430, cut the back end off at the rear window pilliars and welded a new rear clip back on. he is also a painter so he didnt get killed there either. IIRC he is into the whole car 4000 bucks, and you cant even tell what he did.

c-1072 · 01-03-2005, 01:06 AM

They totald this thing out for 10,500 i do paint work but as you can see my garage just isnt set up for it , not to mention i an gettin kind of burned out on this one . I was up past midnight all last week tryin to get a solid chunk or work done . I pulled all the dent from the roof tonight . I will be slinging the bondo tomorrow .

chevjayfsd · 01-03-2005, 01:17 AM

Wow!!!! Nice work man!

silvertonguedevil · 01-03-2005, 02:13 AM

That's amazing! I wouldn't even ponder the thought of trying it

That's impressive.

SweetandLong68 · 01-03-2005, 04:38 AM

5.9 Limited....Those are sweet.. I have driven quite a few of them and they are pretty quick. I heard that the rear ends have a problem of staying together. You heard anything of the sort?

WOW, I would have thought that was headed toward the scrap heap. You have talent.

c-1072 · 01-03-2005, 07:26 AM

Yes i do believe the all have rear end problems its just that the ones with the 360 brake mone ofter beacause of the power . I realy dont thing there is any difference in the rears for all the motors except maybe gearing . I drove this before it was recked and it was alot of fun , almoust as fun as my shortbed dackota with the 318 .

sorry to get off the chevy subject i will always love the more .

Blue Beard · 01-03-2005, 08:51 AM

That's one hard lick she took....how long to get it back to where you have her now?

67ChevyRedneck · 01-03-2005, 09:36 AM

Awesome....and I'm worried about fixing my rockers.....EXCELLENT WORK!!! I can't wait to see your truck!

arkracing · 01-03-2005, 10:13 AM

Nice Job c-1072. I'm assuming you have some bodywork background to tackle a project like that???

were you able to get some good used parts for the doors/rear gate? - what about the quarterwheelhouses used clip or did you get a new one? have to do anything to the floor?

i'm just curious cause i'm a damage appraiser for an insurance company and that is the stuff i look at all day long - and if it was me i would have said..."yep it's totalled"

nice job on the reconstruction surgery. - how will the "salvage/rebuilt" title problem work in NY - do you have to have the veh. towed to a state inspection station???

Andy
P.S. - thanks again for the wheel - as soon as i put the column back in the truck i'll get a chance to see how it looks...it might be a while...

CPNEJR · 01-03-2005, 10:16 AM

Sweet

you definitly know what ur doing!!!!!

I'd be like "where the H*ll do I start"

c-1072 · 01-03-2005, 02:16 PM

Arkracing i do need to get it reinspected at the antitheft unit . i will just toss the old dealer plate on it . as far as the paperwork involved many are intimidated about it as long as you have the reciepts with the vin included you are ok or in my case i bought an 97 jeep wrecked in front and cut it up myself . I sold some parts off it to recoupe some money and this way the entire quarted panel i removed got cut where i wanted it to be cut . i have been toying with cars and trucks my whole life , never worked at a bodyshop though . As for what i replaced it was the entire rt side quarter inner and outer , outer rocker ect the only piece left was about 16" of the passenger rocker and winshield post .the floor was slightly damaged mostly in the rear . i just chopped the damaged pieces one at a time till i felt i removed the damared areas .

69sixpackbee · 01-03-2005, 08:14 PM

Too much work for me.

Brainchild · 01-04-2005, 12:21 AM

I have done some work like that,and it's not easy.Good job,looking good.

I think you should get some REAL GOOD stuff for your truck after that.

Warbones · 01-04-2005, 02:00 AM

Well, what I WANTED to say started with a swear word. So I'll say this instead. Great work!!!

PHOENIX · 01-04-2005, 01:25 PM

Can you get a picture of the electric radiator fan?

*Randy70C-10* · 01-04-2005, 01:34 PM

I do body work, but you truly amaze me. Post pics when you get her done!

c-1072 · 01-04-2005, 07:04 PM
