Got the boot in and it looks great. Much better than a tshirt stuffed down there to keep the heat out!

Outlawz24 · 08-23-2008, 04:14 AM

Looks great man!

coloRADo_S10 · 08-23-2008, 09:20 PM

Heres the before with the TRUE blue bumper. I painted it that color so i would look at it everytime and say "that looks like phuck. i should fix it." That hasn't worked. A car show at school has pushed me to hurry the hell up!

So i got the bumper on today. OH AND HERES A CURVEBALL!!!!!!!!!Pic of new bumper and new headlight setup. woo

coloRADo_S10 · 08-24-2008, 11:43 AM

Thank you everyone for your comments.

coloRADo_S10 · 08-26-2008, 11:42 AM

Im in the process of lookin for a dress up kit for my 2.5. So if anyone has any info on it. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

coloRADo_S10 · 08-28-2008, 11:14 AM

look what i just picked up!

Just won it on ebay for $56

coloRADo_S10 · 08-30-2008, 01:08 AM

Ok well here is a pic for now. I don't know if i will get to the grille for a while. School just started and it sucks ass being in school 26 hours a week. This thread wont die. Ill still post things up.

heres a pic as it sits now

coloRADo_S10 · 08-31-2008, 03:45 AM

So i had some extra time and went to the junk yard. GOT A BRAVADA BUMPER!!!!

One bolt in finish the rest in the morning

coloRADo_S10 · 09-03-2008, 11:40 PM

So i went to class early so i could clean up my headlight buckets with the sand blaster and they are much better than i thought. only surface rust. that was a close one!!!

slonlow2000 · 09-04-2008, 02:23 AM

wow those look brand new

Blazin_Jason · 09-04-2008, 02:58 AM

Looks like glass bead. Nice having access to tools like that.

Outlawz24 · 09-04-2008, 05:33 AM

Just an idle thought on the matter but i think that truck would look pimp with a phantom grill and the round headlights.

x2

coloRADo_S10 · 09-04-2008, 01:12 PM

anyone have the money or one to give me the grille????

I don't have that kinda money...........

wait!!!!!!! I could buy a regular one cut it to siz and get some bars to go across it???

ill check it out when i have a free weekend!

coloRADo_S10 · 09-04-2008, 01:53 PM

ok i had a bit of time before class so i painted the headlight buckets and cut the possible new grille.

I used my old grille and cut out the middle with just enough room to attach my wanted phantom-ness-icity. And i don't think i will go with the regualar phantom look. i might do something different we'll see heres a pic.

and as always its a shitty cell phone one. Camera is dead.

slonlow2000 · 09-04-2008, 02:10 PM

well you work fast

crazy91s10 · 09-04-2008, 05:45 PM

dammit i want my old 2wd back... lovin what youre doin with this! def now one of my fav projects on the site! can't wait to see that grill and can't wait to see it lowered!

coloRADo_S10 · 09-05-2008, 02:09 AM

I am getting some steel materials from my uncle so hopefully i can atleast mock it up so you guys can get a tease. I have two ideas in my head. I can't really see one of them as good as i can see the other one but i think i might even try them both??? maybe interchangable inserts. ooooooo

bagged92 · 09-05-2008, 02:59 AM

ur trucks lookin good...that valve cover is nice..lol...its different from the one i got from that guy on ebay a while back...lol...the round headlight look killer...makes me wanna do that...lol...iono tho...and the shifter, just out of curiousity, was there any added benefit other than looks??? it looks good either way...

Ya its close to the bottom of the first page of my thread. Its not alot. He said something like 35%. It shifts quicker. i think i said smoother before but i meant quicker. lol

coloRADo_S10 · 09-05-2008, 02:36 PM

I have access to so many things at school its awesome! I think i will be using the cnc to make that air filter spacer, the laser cutter or the sandblaster to do some sort of design on the valve cover or air cleaner and ill prolly machine some badges or something too. but ya never know i have until the 18th of december so i hope im able to do it.hahaha

coloRADo_S10 · 09-09-2008, 12:11 AM

I have been parking in the same spot at school for five weeks now. I never noticed this!

(reserved for Lakewood Police)

Anyway, just thought since everyone likes pix i would post this one. Workin on the grille. Hopefully have it done in a couple weeks. Ill let you know!

coloRADo_S10 · 09-10-2008, 02:40 AM

Anybody know if this alternator would work with my 2.5L I don't see why not but nothing wrong with some reassurance.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CHROM...=p4506.c0.m245

Also, would the chrome alternator brackets for a v8 work on my 2.5L?

coloRADo_S10 · 09-12-2008, 03:52 AM

Ok, so last night i got home from class at about 9 and tore apart my rad support, sanded it and painted it. i was up til like 3 woke up at 7 and before i went to class snapped a pic of what it looks like. I haven't been able to go downtown to get the metal so i haven't been able to do anything with the grille yet! but here it is!

HEY, that's my truck!! Give it back.

Yep, bought that same one in May 1990 (a 91 though). Just put new rocker panels and cab mounts on last week.

Have a good time. After market stuff is disappearing.
