Post by: bigblock73 on March 19, 2006, 07:16:00 PM: Looks incredible man, incredible!!

If I may make a suggestion, you may want to consider undercoating your inner fenders, front and rear...will look better and keep from chipping your paint whenver your tires catch and throw rocks.

Post by: ccb on March 19, 2006, 10:50:00 PM: WOW, Thats nice. Engine looks nice in there, I two thing the inter fender need a under coating I would look for a yellow undercoating if black is not you thing. I just see after a month or two you will start to see pitting. There my two cents. Great Job, did you get the interior finish yet?

Title: Re: A Few More Pics
Post by: 123 pugsy on April 16, 2006, 06:14:00 AM: Hey Don.You'll have to call GM to find out about man hours on the frame.Do it quick while they're still answering the phone.

Sarge:Chris sells the kickpanels in the homepage catalog.

I guess thats about it for pics.I got an appraiser coming over on Wednesday.Hopefully ,I can take it for a cruise by next weekend.

Post by: bigblock73 on April 20, 2006, 11:49:00 AM: Wow 123, that looks fantastic!!! I am truly jealous of your craftmanship...it looks top notch!

If you feel like it, send me some good pics to my website address, and I'll add a readers ride page for ya.
Title: Re: WoW!
Post by: 123 pugsy on April 20, 2006, 05:24:00 PM: Hey Don.The grill frame took about 5 hours to fab.The perf. and paint about 3-1/2 hours.

A few pics of how the frame is put together.There are angles on the back to release the perf panel if I want to change it to something else.
Title: Re: WoW!
Post by: DnStClr on April 24, 2006, 04:21:00 PM: Pugsy, that's outstanding. You know what would be slick? Figure out a way to put the Chevy logo in the rectangle on hinge, so it hinges out of the way to allow you to open the hood!
Title: Re: WoW!
Post by: 123 pugsy on April 24, 2006, 07:36:00 PM: My buddy Mark came by as I was fitting it up.He mentioned I should have made that rim around the opening bow tie shaped.
Both excellent ideas.Only yours is still doable.

I'm still thinking of a backlit blue plexi logo with a mirror polish rim around it to come on when I turn on the lights. One for the reciever on the back as well.
