[Driveway Dreams]

Hey, at least you guys are close enough to eachother to help him. I am trying to help from over 1000 miles away.

[menace121978]

to the top for progress pics or something!!! come on dude we're all on the edge of our seats here...

and btw, its been in paint for a year now! i think "somebody" needs to make up there mind on the paint color already!!!

[draggin86]

Hahaha has it really been a year? probably not! anyways i did make my mind up on paint! lol see this is why i dont get married i would change my mind the week after i did it ! haha... ill post the pictures i have on my phone! i need to get some good pictures of it.. i know i am lame...

So i ended up setting a grant roll pan which took a while to get but was well worth the wait.. it brings the rollpan flush with the tailgate... I also decided to put some Hitech led's in the roll pan. they will be completely flush smoked and cleared over when the paint is all finished. I also completed the inner fender wells and flushed those up with the stock fender lip they will be painted body color and put some clear bra over then to prevent chipping. the inside the fender wells will be seam sealed and undercoated.

as Dennis as mentioned i have changed he color on the truck about a million times im pretty sure the painter wants to kill me by now i am set on

this color

[menace121978]

looks sweet bro!! those pics of the new color really show it off good!! need to get the bed off the truck and get it home so we can finish it up... then let Rich get everything else done. like the cab and front clip.

[draggin86]

Ooh yeah i almost for got i did get a Painless stand alone harness for the motor.. with tuned ECM. So if any of you guys swaping this motor want to know what wires you need and how to setup the relays and fuses let me know i can take some pictures for you and draw some stuff up! that way you can mod the factory ones with some peice of mind! haha the guy also through in the harness for the alternator!

Looks good man, I am debating hard on bagging my truck. I need to get a welder so i can make my own 4 link and all that, do you think with a mig welder i can do it, my garage only has 110 volt outlets so itd have to be a smaller one

[draggin86]

I would not attempt and frame work with a 110v welder.. here is my advice i have been building trucks for a while.. i don't want to sound rude or anything, but if you want to bag your truck save up and do it right... it's not something you can wake up tomorrow and say well i am going to build a truck! You have to have some sort of plan and money at you disposal to build a truck.. if you want to save some money then you need to have the know how on welding and fabricating with some competence in suspension design. (In no way am i saying you don't from what i hear you went to school at Wyotech). Now if tools are you down fall from getting to your goal save up or find someone to do the parts you aren't able to do yourself. thats my .02 cents

[54Caddy]

hahaha.. i know what needs to be done right and all that, after all i did build my truck so i know it is an expense to do anything, and build a few cars before this truck. The welding part i have that down thats not the issue the issue is the small ****ty apartment garage i have to work out of. Ill get it done no problem have enough connections to use equipment, just thought id ask and see what you thought. I may be young but not dumb at what im doing.

[draggin86]

good man i am young too im only 25 lol! get it done right i don't want to see any busted ass **** driving down the road.. I work in EMS and i just see those hacked rides makes me cringe thinking of all the people it could hurt!

[54Caddy]

hahah damn my buddy almost killed him self because some ****ty fab work he did i had to redo it. I've been looking at the KP components 6 link kit and i am going to price it out and see if i build it if it would be cheaper or just order it. We will se how it goes also looking at building a 4link for my 54 cadillac

[draggin86]

looks like ill be bring the chassis back to my house to get all the plumbing down and wiring get it up and running! Dennis you better be ready my friend! lol! maybe some home brew drop member action!

[menace121978]

[draggin86]

funny story about pain code i saw an audi on the forum i am on and it had a great color on it so i PM the guy and he would not give me the name or the color or the code! it pissed me off! so i found this color and it is beautiful! and exactly what i want! thanks to my girlfriend and dennis talking me out of 350z blue lol good call! haha

[(541)COLD_beer]

damn bro you like to build them the right way! I've always wanted to build a laid out chevy. i had a 60 c10 short wide but then i fell in love with prerunners and havent looked back... till now! my wife HATES bagged trucks though but I'm have tempted to slam my 85 crew cab

[draggin86]

thanks dude! funny i was going to look for my thread to look at the paint color and there it was at the top! haha I was thinking about building a prerunner one of these days!

[menace121978]
