Project Yipes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yipes · 11-21-2010, 01:09 AM

Well my new project was delivered today! I know you guys have seen this build on another thread but I am the lucky guy that gets to finish it

Now I want to start by saying thank you to Marc for the awesome start! It is everything i expected it to be! Also... I want to let everyone know that my wife and I are expecting our first child in April! So as much as I would like to be able to tell you all that it won't be long till it's done... That's just not a reality with a baby on the way! I will get as much done as possible and update with pics as often as possible so that I won't leave people who followed the previous thread wondering what happened to the truck! Well that's it for now, and don't worry I won't be writing short stories every post!

Glad we're going to get to see this awesome ride finished! Looking forward to the build!

gottwake · 11-21-2010, 01:29 AM

Sweet. Looks so much different out in the open. Ive been looking at it from a 4-6 foot distance for three years. Nice stance. That 22 looks huge back there!
Congrats on the new baby...(on the way).

Haha it's kinda like I got 2 new baby's in 1 year! This "baby" just didn't take as long to get here!

gottwake · 11-21-2010, 01:40 AM

Let's see one with her all "lay'd out", next to the 4x4. (in the open)

Yipes · 11-21-2010, 01:46 AM

If it's not raining tomorrow we'll air it back up and push it out for more photos... We were helping a friend swap out his rusty longbed for a "spare" longbed we had laying around when the tow truck showed up today

We had just a enough time to get a few pictures, drool, and get back to work before it started raining here!

**Palf70Step** · 11-21-2010, 09:48 AM

Nice. Glad to see the project ended up in good hands. Nice little gathering of trucks you have!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 11-21-2010, 09:50 AM

Glad this killer blazer made it to oregon the only down side I see is your not closer to me and it rains all the damn time here...

zellway · 11-22-2010, 08:50 PM

Can't wait to see it done. Congratz on a great buy!

6772owner · 11-25-2010, 08:51 PM

Here's a few pics for ya... It's the best I could get due to the weather up here. Oh and the day after I took these someone bought the 4x4 :-)

tasian · 12-02-2010, 10:50 PM

its funny i saw the build on this a long time ago and was just telling a friend about it then saw this lol

so what are your plans for it so far? cant wait to see how this one goes

VA72C10 · 12-03-2010, 01:24 AM

love the pics! So hopefully the 4x4 means this project should move forward fast?!?!

72BlckButy · 12-03-2010, 10:45 PM

In for the long haul...

Can't wait to see what you've got planned.

Well we've still got our first baby on the way so it won't be moving as fast as most of you truck site guys expect it to

But as soon as I get a nice enough day I plan on pulling the body off first and running brake lines and air lines for the bags. Then I have to decide what color to do the frame

And how much $ I want to dump into the undercarriage! I mean it lays frame so no one is really gonna see under it right? Do I really need to powder coat the frame? Other options?????

I wouldn't coat it. Since it lays frame it's bound to get scratched. With paint you can touch it up. With powder it can be touched up but not as easily and it easily can start bubbling/coming off if you get moisture under the powder due to a scratch/chip from laying frame.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-04-2010, 08:21 PM

I would not powder coat the frame Id either do it the same color as you plan on paining the truck or just find a nice black to put on it..

Re-subscribed.....any updates?

I wish I had some awesome updates to show you but unfortunately it's had to take a back burner for a little bit because my father-in-law died, then we had our 1st baby, then my wife lost her job... Yeah life has been crazy these last few months! But I can't help but count my blessings in the fact that we've got a beautiful healthy baby girl and an awesome truck parked in the garage!

I am actually going to start finish work on the frame in the next few weeks so hopefully I can get you some new photos of progress soon

niper0108 · 01-10-2012, 04:00 PM

Any progress?
