Re: So I finally started...

shiney pictures will be post ASA I get them, they still haven't called. They had a few large orders for industrial stuff from what I saw sitting around, I told them it was no rush. When it gets here, you'll see. But yes, I did buy a TBSS, and I didn't part any of the truck out

Re: So I finally started...

Yeah congrats on the TBSS, I'm dying to see this frame as well... I'm glad you haven't parted it out and will be continuing with the build. I know it has stressed you out but just work through it bro, will all be worth it in the end...

BTW try not to spend too much money into the TBSS until the blazer is finished...

Ah no worries, it will only be a little bit spent on the tbss. Some HID's and some badge work is all it's getting. 300 dollars max for now

Re: So I finally started...

I sent you an email sir! I will be posting photos tomorrow, because I am going to get a frame.... Also, I have spoken with a body shop here locally, might actually get some metal work started here in a couple weeks. I have also tossed around the idea of selling it, how much you guys think it's worth?

Re: So I finally started...

I know Doug, but after I get it in primer, I am going to have to do some real thinking. Finish it, or part from it......? I am not just messing around this time either. with the TBSS now, and work the way it is, it's just a concern of mine, I like to have money in the bank. If I could sell the truck for say.... what I paid BLF, I could have well over 15k in the bank earning me interest...

Re: So I finally started...

problem with that is I'd still have the duty of reassembling everything. But, if I decide to part with it, I'll consider.

Frame is home!



The pictures make it look like primer lol it's very shiney, and it's a darker grey. It will contrast nicely with the silver control arms for sure.

I got the airlines ran in the frame again, and I got the bags in place. Tomorrow I will mount the control arms, and put the rear end back into place.

What the hell? That sucks man. And what car did you get?
I've been amazed to see a few of they guys that got laid off at my place actually get called back. Hopefully they can keep finding work for them. I was supposed to go to Germany for 2 months but I think that's getting canceled. Who knows what I'll be doing a month from now.

Re: So I finally started...

i bought a trailblazer ss haha.... I have a lot of money in the bank, BUT, that was for the blazer. Which means it'll be going on hold if I don't get called back soon. There are tons of rumors going around, like I might get called back the next week, or a couple weeks later, but who knows.

Re: So I finally started...

Oh ya, I keep forgetting about the TBSS. Good luck with the job man. I thought they were sending me to Germany for a couple months for work. I was told today that's cancelled. Now they're probably sending me to Austria the first week of October for 2 months. Work, eat, drink beer, sleep, Work, eat, drink beer, sleep, Work, eat, drink beer, sleep. Ya, I think I can handle that.

Shit yeah! I don't know what's going to happen, but i will find a way through it, no fears! I didn't put the frame back together today, I installed some HID's in the TBSS (bought them before I knew I was getting laid off) I will post pictures of those tomorrow.
