yes I am sorry, as you can see, working lots of hours is getting to me. I had just gotten out of work, they sent us home early because we were on time and a half, and not making any cars...

The Body will be coming off the FRAME! better?

STILL4WD · 12-16-2007, 03:30 PM

haha yea

Kenny_Cox · 12-18-2007, 12:33 AM

small small update. Called the guys out at barely legal today, My no notch tie rods will be going out soon, thats fun. Also asked them if they knew a good air brusher. I will be displaying my air tank in the back of the cab with some stainless hardlines and fancy stuff. It will be painted the same blue as the top of the truck, and i will be getting the barely legal logo and phone number air brushed onto it. advertising, and cool looking! win win

AVdime · 12-18-2007, 12:46 AM

i know a few peeps man! hit me if ur interested

18incrawler · 12-18-2007, 08:52 PM

I know a guy that is freakin awesome hes the one that runs around the truck show doing everyone's on site airbrushing and pinstriping. Let me know if your interested he's in WA state though.

Kenny_Cox · 12-19-2007, 12:40 AM

I have a question to ask, and I dont want to start a new thread. My fenders are taken apart obviously (inner fenders are out). But, the metal that is on the inside of the fender, hits my tire. What did others with bodydropped dimes/blazers do about that? just cut the whole inner fender out, and re weld some other sheet metal in there?

juiced dimebag · 12-19-2007, 12:43 AM

i just cut it all out i didnt even add sheet metal and they dont flop around or make any noise

AVdime · 12-19-2007, 12:48 AM

most gut the whole inner fender, but i would go the extra mile and only cut what u need add some trailor fenders and sheet the rest so its nice and smooth

Kenny_Cox · 12-19-2007, 05:42 PM

^^now that I like, I think I am going to have to go that route.

bdydrp18 · 12-20-2007, 09:34 AM

she looking good going to very badass when it's done. nice work

Kenny_Cox · 12-22-2007, 05:16 PM

alright, the weather is rather nice here, almost 50 degrees and its 3 days before christmas! amazing. I am going to talk to my dad this evening, might get the cab off tomorrow afternoon. Keep your eyes open for new pictures.

Kenny_Cox · 12-23-2007, 11:48 AM

alright well in attempts of finding a way to tie in an interior. I have thought of a couple different options pertaining to paint. (I must make up my mind as its going to be getting painted sooner than later). I can leave it true to the rendering, but thatll alter my interior scheme I am shooting for, so I thought of two new paint combos, same layout, just different colors. The first would be black on bottom, silver on top, with a bright color dividing (more than likely, blue). The other idea, would be a white on top, silver on bottom, with a color dividing. What are some feelings here?

STILL4WD · 12-23-2007, 03:50 PM

well i have thought about two toning my truck and black is always a good color to go with, but truthfully i love your rendering so i would stay with the white and go silver.

Kenny_Cox · 12-23-2007, 04:33 PM

so you think white and silver eh? with a blue dividing it...

STILL4WD · 12-23-2007, 10:12 PM

yeah i think that would look good. what kind of white did you have in mind. that Lexus white is awesome. or did you want more of a flat white?

Kenny_Cox · 12-23-2007, 10:27 PM

i will probably still be painting it white and blue. I will just do the interior how I want to do it and if people dont like it, oh well. The white I am shooting for is a new color offered by GM, its called platinum ice. Its on the new GMC acadia ( I work at the plant where it is manufactured ) its one of the coolest OEM colors i've ever seen.

STILL4WD · 12-24-2007, 03:42 PM

i've seen a new deville in what im assuming is that color. nice!

Kenny_Cox · 12-24-2007, 04:29 PM

the color is the same as the white pearl, but instead of a gold base, its a silver base, it brings the color to live in my opinion, almost adds a blue hue to it.

Droppedime08 · 12-24-2007, 09:33 PM

Defently White and blue!

Kenny_Cox · 12-26-2007, 01:58 AM

yeah itll be white and blue, and i have no updates as today was christmas, nothing got done at all. haha. I got some new headlights that look pretty spiffy, i am still trying to find a way to move the truck, might have to call a wrecker lol

Disturbed R.I. · 12-26-2007, 12:42 PM

looks Killer guys!!!! awsome work!

Kenny_Cox · 12-26-2007, 07:33 PM

yes they did a wonderful job, I couldnt be happier with the quality. At first my layoff was a downer, now I cant wait, as it will give me time to work on my truck!

Wow mini truckin is a sickness how many normal ppl would ever say something like this

I'd see it as the same way.

Kenny_Cox · 12-27-2007, 06:01 PM

well ill make more money on unemployment than I did working at my previous job, so Ill just chill and work on the truck for a couple months, go to school, then if they dont call me back, get some BS job like before. I really need to get working on this thing, its been home for like 3 weeks and I havent even gotten to do anything.
