And here are just some of the shots my aunt took the night before the show. The first two are of me and my dad. And no, the second one wasn't staged or planned lol.

[Drain Bamaged]

it is to see your Dad up and helping you.

[sonomaguy]

Hopefully this is done for Dropt and Destroyed next year. I'll see you there if you go. 10th anniversary year, hopefully good show.

what mesh did you use for the grill and do you think i could still use the GMC

[GM]

Haven't had internet for a couple weeks so I was pretty stoked to read all of the updates. Sorry to hear about your dad Phil, my uncle just got diagnosed last week as well. I hope he can get over it quickly. Everything is looking ridiculous, can't wait to see some vids!

Drain Bamaged: it's from a 1950's air conditioner body.

Andrew: Sorry to hear about your uncle. Unfortunately the odds as men of getting it are higher than not getting it. And it's nice to see you and your dad have a workspace worthy I your build!

Aaaaand here's what happens when I get bored while waiting for a tow truck to come pick up my bosses car from the man cave...my dad has cast his vote and so have a few people on Facebook. So give me your input!

[blake293209]

98+ chevy and the bravada or the composite and the bravada.

[TRPLS10]

I like em all except the bravada

[sonomaguy]

So many choices, I say the first one , if you can get them to match up a little better.

[droppedss]

holy shit, i havent checked on the thread since it was really in a million pieces (like things were going on the frame, and then this. BAM lol

98+ sonoma bumper cover w/ 94-97 Sonoma grill (with a flush billet) with cleared oem composites!

[carl0st001]

Hard for me to pick without the headlights on but I think I would go with the first one minus the oldsmobile emblem in the middle.

My dad likes the S10 grille and Bravada bumper combo too...

Truth be told, I don't like it either.

The impact bar wasn't in so it was a little droopy.

Hahaha, yeah a lot has changed in the past 2 weeks in terms of togetherness. I do like that combo too. I have the stock composites, but have a buddy (TinaBanana with the S-Tang on here) that makes aftermarket lenses for a living. He could clear them no problem.

I already plucked the emblem out. And yeah, without headlights it doesn't give the whole look.

I need input on something...

So I wanna start getting into making parts in my spare time. I enjoy doing it, people are telling me I should be starting my own business, and well, I need money LOL. After my dad grenaded the plastic plugs on my extended cab windows while trying to reinstall them, I picked up some from GM. Well, they changed their design to make them a bit more rigid, but they're still overpriced plastic. So I took the pair and drew them up, and realized making these out of billet (with the choice to modify the part that is on the outside of the glass) wouldn't be hard.

Here are the parts. I'll be making some for myself, but I wanted to see what the interest would be like...

Innis, ive raped for far less.

[Drain Bamaged]

Wow to many choices to count. I Ike the idea of them there doohickies for te windows

[BobOnAir]

Out of what you have, I like this one the best.

But,, there's always custom!!! ha ha

[Back_N_Black]

i completely agree with you man. Thats my fav too

[BobOnAir]

Now,, not to rip anyone off,, but I LOVE this front end.....




Also,, I think there is one floating around with a front bumper with bumperettes on it!

[sonomaguy]

I love the idea of the billet plugs. I broke one myself and noticed they changed them after buying 1 half, it wouldn't mate with the other half so I had to buy that too. Let us know how they turn out and how much.

So to be honest, I haven't done anything update worthy recently. I'll take some pics next time I'm out there of what I have done though.

Been busy poking away at stuff for my dad's coupe as it will be returning hope after 3 months on the body shop more or less getting 100% stripped and redone. Lot of issues that needed fixing, rot, etc. So my time has been going to that, and the truck has sat.

But I am still here, and other than being EXTREMELY anxious to get his car back, my dad is doing fine. And thank you all for thinking of me.

I'll have some kickass pics soon, and some news of me taking what I do to the next level...

[Drain Bamaged]

Glad to hear your dads doing good

[jabber1josh]

truck is just plain cool

[V8Blaze]

glad to hear your dad is doing good, best of luck with everything.

I dont know what im more excited over seeing, his car or your truck.

How's about some pics of the car, with a little truck in the background then? I've been off for a little over a week now. Been spending my vacation rebuilding the coupe. Here are a few shots...

Plate I made to utilize my old valves:


Bulk of the body panels:


Leaving the body shop (been there since april) going to the glass shop:


Home from the glass shop:


Air ride rebuild commences:


New front meats:


Junk:


Out of chronological order, front fenders on:


Ha to replace the water temp sensor, thought hitting sides would help:


It didn't:


Finally got all the lights working. What an ordeal that was.

My view for lunch everyday:

[Drain Bamaged]

Loking good

[Back_N_Black]

soooooooooo fawkin doap

[droppedss]

Awesome!

[droppedss]

lol @ BoboNair!

that color just POPS.

love it!

Glad to hear your pops is doing better, just lost my mom on the 29th, hardest thing ever.

Pops is rolling in STYLE!

[slvrs10]

Thanks guys.

droppedss, my condolences about your mom. I don't know about you, but being an only child, I can't even begin to think what losing either if my parents would be like. Stay strong!

And here are a before and after shot of the gauge panel. Beige gauges with the half assed machine turn is the before lol.

[droppedss]

love the gauges.

Thank you!
And yeah, I'm an only child as well, so it's been super rough. But with the words and such of family and friends, it's been easier to deal with 10x

[slvrs10]

Well, the car is "done" for now.








And the reason for no test drive. Rain. It's been unbearably hot and dry for 2+ months and with my dumb luck it's been raining since Tuesday.

[Drain Bamaged]

Looks great are you moving back to your truck or are you taking the car to the next level

[slvrs10]

Back to the truck, small things on the coupe.

For some reason it's not showing the pics I wanted in my last post at my end. It's done that before, but before I screw with it, I'll see if they fix themselves. It should be of the car reassembled.

[GM]

I see the pics just fine and it looks really nice. Your dad has good reason to look proud in that pic. Is it just my imagination or did you say you were leaving that garage soon?

[oldskool86]

That coupe is tits. the stance is perfect and wheel tire combo is great. props.

He's a very happy camper lol.

I don't remember saying that on here, but yeah. Signs of mice and I can't in good faith bring friends in to store their vehicles knowing that. And it leaks, and it was running me broke trying to heat it over the winter. So I'm switching gears and trying to come up with a plan that hopefully involves my good buddy Bob, a storage unit, and me starting to put some of the man caves rent towards a house.

[Drain Bamaged]

How's dad doing
