Something Different · 03-14-2005, 03:10 PM

Lookin real good Dave...Now is the truck going to remain the orangenoma or is it going to be greenoma

Baggd · 03-14-2005, 04:12 PM

werd. i have the same problem with my shit.. thats why youre shortening my lower bars, right dave?

cbauer210 · 03-14-2005, 11:05 PM

Damn Dave.....looks like your busting some ass on this truck now.....is it gonna be ready (driveable) for the upcoming show season?

themostoriganal · 03-15-2005, 11:03 AM

mabye we can see it at showfest!

***AVTekk*** · 03-17-2005, 02:13 PM

its not gonna be anywhere near ready, im done working on it for this portion, i have a lot of other trucks scheduled in here for work.

ya shortening the lowers might help but i dunno, its like im gonna need the pinion 2-3" lower to clear that driveshaft. if you look at the pic, the axle isnt even all the way up, it still has an inch to go but the bags are compressed all the way. ill need to either lengthed the chromed dogbones or slap in some 1" blocks...this is why you dont paint/chrome stuff until its mocked up.

Didn't you have a thread awhile back where the kp 6 link wasn't laying out. And you lengthend the dogbones or something? Or am I thinking about someone else?

***AVTekk*** · 04-02-2005, 08:39 PM

it was an old AI kit but its the same as a KP and ya I lengthened them.

that was my truck, and it worked pretty well..

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 02:11 PM

almost a year later, and im back to work on this truck, again! hah should come out mostly finished this time tho, not driveable tho because theres so much stuff he wants to do to it. heres a shot of the floorpans, im waiting for some motor mounts and then ill mock up the V8 and turbo 350 tranny for the tunnel work

Lowsonoma03 · 02-06-2006, 02:21 PM

sweet its about time that poor truck sees some fabrication again! floor pans are nice! did you do those Dave?

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 02:34 PM

of course i did! 16ga with beads rolled in em for some extra support.

just got finished fixing all the pics in the thread too, so theres plenty of SFBD action to be seen..

slam-10 · 02-06-2006, 02:37 PM

awesome. brian must be making some major cash with what has been done to the blazer, and then all he wants for this. cant wait to see it tho.

Baggd · 02-06-2006, 03:26 PM

werrrrrrd! man, you sure love that bead roller of yours dave. i see its been getting alot of use lately. looks awesome!

drps10 · 02-06-2006, 04:52 PM

dave... did you roll the beads then cut it to fit.. or over cut on the piece then roll the beads?

when you raised that up.. did you just take it off that little hump it has right along the door jam there and just go stright over?

get a closer pictures on one of the sections

lowcherrydime · 02-06-2006, 04:56 PM

that truck is/was so sweet i have two videos of it saved on my comp

Chappy316 · 02-06-2006, 06:35 PM

glad to see this coming back to life!

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 06:47 PM

i think you guys are getting confused, again. the last time this truck was in one piece, they didnt even have video cameras haha.

youre getting it confused with the other brians (sn shvdnlaid) GOLD S10.. --> http://afterhoursfabrication.com/bag...ss10/index.htm

this is brians (sn orangesonoma) orange sonoma --> http://afterhoursfabrication.com/bod...iansjunkon.jpg

drps10, i cut the panels to fit and then rolled the beads, they dont noticably shink the panel to affect anything. they go right up to where that hump is by the door sill and just go straight across, you lose maybe 1" of footroom, if that. the panels can be made lower but i like to keep a fingers width of space away from the frame and components.

RedXtreme · 02-06-2006, 06:54 PM

looking good as always AV. Any expected time that this will be done and moving under its own power?

Bdydrp02s10 · 02-06-2006, 06:55 PM

Hell yeah. Will Brian be able to finish the work himself after you get done with the work you are doing?

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 06:56 PM

thanks. well, we wanted to have it running this week, but thats not gonna happen if the engine needs work. but it prolly wont be on the road until all the bodywork and paint is done, and it took the shop 6 months to paint his blazer..

JollyRojer · 02-06-2006, 07:03 PM

i do this every time...

which one has the cantilever cylinders and does the standing dog leg?

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 07:30 PM

the other ones not even close to the same color! and chappy did you even click the links?! hah

BAKO_BLZR · 02-06-2006, 07:36 PM

Nice, how are the laws over there? regarding the engine swap. The emission laws suck balls here in CA.

***AVTekk*** · 02-06-2006, 07:46 PM

oh it wont be legal at all
