Better late than never! Looking awesome, can't wait to see the outcome once it's back.

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-07-2017, 07:25 PM

We met about paint in April, I just got
the figure back in July, we are moving
forward as soon as he is ready for me.

*We removed all the factory A/C stuff
this past weekend cause no longer in
the finished plans to use stock setup.

The color will be Gloss Black, and Top
will be Gloss White. (Both are primers
of different types in the photo below)

My goal is to debut her painted at the
Orange Beach Invasion Show Mar/18

Can't wait to see it done! Did you ever decide if you were going to put the lower trim on it? If so, I would do it before the paint.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-23-2017, 10:58 AM

No trim, tons of holes deleted, dropped her off 10/07/17,
hopefully back sometime next spring, getting excited.

**lks dcvn** · 11-26-2017, 09:30 AM

That's awesome Craig. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

**Palf70Step** · 11-26-2017, 06:05 PM

Yup....Can't wait to see it at CTC 2018.

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-30-2019, 01:04 PM

Figured I'd throw out an update, NO she's not done.

Things happen, sometimes nothing you can't control.

I have been assured that "It will be worth the wait"

Meanwhile, she's getting a New Penthouse to live in.

**Palf70Step** · 07-30-2019, 09:15 PM

Nice, you bringing the Luv to CTC again this year?

Looking like it, assuming we come? I have room booked
and will probably register anyways just incase. But ......
Wife might have a Conference in Denver same week

She's going to her 3rd show in less than a year, done
almost caught up with Blaze on appearances already !

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-09-2020, 12:11 PM

Still no updates, incase anyone out there is wondering

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2020, 08:58 AM

I was. How's the Luv doing?

She's fine, doing minor maintenance on her here and
there. It's a budget beater so not spending lots of $$
on it. Since CTC18, only been to work a few times, a
local cruise in, and a local cars & coffee. Almost took
it to SETN last month, but rode up with a friend that
day in his. Was great seeing some of the LCTC guys.

**Palf70Step** · 01-04-2021, 09:11 AM

I was, but didn't want to dig up any wounds.

Is what it is, was told this spring, not holding my breath

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-25-2021, 06:24 AM

Don't get excited, nothing new to report.

Just adding a few things here and there to
the pile for updates when she comes home.

700R will be removed/retired permanently
(Attached pic should give you a small hint)

Change over from Power to Manual Brakes
(Willwood Master replacing current setup)

Change over from 20/22's to 18x11 (F/R)
(Attached pic is small hint for test fitting)

Updating entire Engine Compartment Area
(Shipped Mild Slosh Tubz to Painter already)

Still have a few parts to buy, some cannot
be purchased till it's home. (Wheels/Tires)
but have a cool tool now for making sure I
order the right offset/width for new ones.

jjzepplin · 07-25-2021, 07:53 AM

Missed this one. I'm in.

lunatic1968 · 07-29-2021, 06:10 PM

NICE ride buddy. I subscribed

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-31-2021, 07:14 AM

Thanks guys, but it will be in PaintJail 3 years this October
so don't expect to get updates very often till it's back.

LUV2XCLR8 · 11-05-2024, 05:42 AM

This is the update everyone has been waiting for, but sadly it's not what I wanted to post.

I am going 11/16 to get my Blazer, due to health reasons it is not finished. Disappointed
for sure, but I do not hate him. Everything supposedly happens for a reason, although it
seems I have been on the wrong end of it for many situations. (No hate bashing please)

Not really sure of my plans for her just yet, Wife and I have discussed several options...

**jaros44sr** · 11-05-2024, 11:46 AM

Glad to here from you, you got a great looking truck

**Palf70Step** · 11-05-2024, 11:49 AM

Sorry to hear the news Craig. Maybe having it back home and just driving it will be good for you.
