Project: Built 2 Envy

[Built2NV]

Yea of course, everything I find for this truck is haha. I find an AWESOME deal on a cab that just needs new cab corners, guy wants 125 I pick it up. I was going to give ya 200 this weekend but if you dont mind Ill give a hundred so I can scoop this up. It has 2 almost mint doors, small amount of rot in teh corner, clean glass all around, and no dents/ding just rotted out cab corners, but not as much as mine are. I figured I can sell the doors since they are complete, panels and everything for like 150 for both or something like that to someone local, and the windshield I know someone who wants it and the back glass I may swap in when I redo my seals. Only problem is I just got my new windshield when I got the truck on the road so Im going to see if I can have someone swap it out for me.

it might just be my opinion but why spend money on another cab if there's rot on this one too. honestly, i'd hold out till you find a mint cab and get one with no rot and perfect everything. cause if your gonna go through the pain in the ass of swappin a cab. ya might as well do it for a cab that you have to do no work on. otherwise you're just pissin your money away.

I went to a few body shops this afternoon to get a quote for fixing the dents in the a pillar and roof and what not, they wanted from around 300-400 for it just in primer out the door. I figured since this cab just needs corners it would be much cheaper, plus I can sell the doors and glassfor more then 125 so I figured even if I dont use it I will make some money off this

[wirrrey21]

so what would you do, strip the new cab, then bring it down to the body shop to do the cab corners. then swap everything over to the new cab and put the new cab on the truck. not a bad idea.

but no offense, me and judd could use somemore money first. not tryin to be a dick, but times are tight.

[Built2NV]

Well good news my settlement check should be coming within the next month or so, finally paid mikey and judd back so once I get that Ill be good and on my way to really lacing into this thing!

[Built2NV]

Went dragging tonight and on thursday heres some pics I snagged from my videos. I also compiled a video with all my drag videos, thursday night I was dragging skid in the front, and tonight I dragged a set of Brians blocks. The ones with no bed were tow hitch balls.

[Built2NV]

Heres some random shots I took a few weeks back with some of my club members

[wirrrey21]

lookin good bro. sorry i didn't call you this mornin, i completely forgot. i was tryin to find out why the rest of the club was late and where they were.

[coloRADo_S10]

[adam101]

[Built2NV]

Its cool bro I was passed out anyway didnt wake up till 3 I was up till 6 last night haha Thanks for the feedback guys, I should have my Sanden up and running soon, got my fitting situation sorted out thanks to a member on here and now all I need is the bracket to mount to the 2.5 and the belt.

[ßɭĬƮƵ]

cool pics...

[wirrrey21]

how often you go down to best buy on thurs., i'm goin over to judds tomorrow night to pretty much get it road worthy. so you might see us out this week or next. mine won't be there for a while.

[Built2NV]

Im down there every week, but next week Im coming earlier for sure

ha ha
i got there around 9 and got the last spot in the parking lot. definitely gotta get there around 8 if you wanna park with a group of people. i told robbie about it, and he's down to go whenever. we're workin real late tonight to try to get judds truck alittle safer to drive, so he could possibly bring it tomorrow night, but it'll probably be there next thurs.

if you want a shop to make a bracket for ya, there's a custom shop past UPS off 110. if you take melville rd past SUNY toward 110 and go over 110 it's down that block past UPS. i don't know if you've seen it but they built that lifted black dually with the red undercarriage on Semi rims. and they built a maroon f150 bagged on 20's with a navigator front clip(saw this the other night, it was SICK).

[Built2NV]

its not Easy Concepts is it?

[wirrrey21]

well you want something nice. a shop can make a nicer bracket than i can with some hand tools. and probably in half the time.

[Built2NV]

Is it easy concepts though? I know kenny who owns or co owns that shop he has a nice expedition

[wirrrey21]

conceptually, yes. basically all ya need to do is make sure the pulley's line up so you don't through a belt. ya gotta worry about hood clearance. and then just hook up all the lines. but ya still want the bracket holding it on to look nice. and if you wanna get fancy you can have the bracket adjustable so you can adjust the tension on the belt.


if you know one of the guys who owns the shop who's got that bagged f150? that thing was sick!!!

[Built2NV]

he had an expedition the guy I knew and the name of the shop is easy conecpts haha I never seen a bagged F-150 in person believe it or not

[wirrrey21]

they're pretty cool. but if they have a shaved tailgate and rollpan, the back just looks huge.
how was best buy last nigh?

[Built2NV]

it was nuts, same as the other night be everyone was quieter it seemed teh cops didnt bother us this time. I dragged through the huge crowd of like 500 people bro it was crazy having everyone right there like that haha

[dagreenmonster]

damn that thing drags HARD!

[Built2NV]

haha yea thanks man Im loving it! I saw a pic of your truck browsing through my mini truck mag today (bought it when it came out cuz your truck was in it!) Inspired me to repaint my truck, its now flat black and green with green wheels, and teh chrome dishes looks badass!

[dailydragger00]

[Built2NV]

That was bar beach Mikey, and where is backwoods?

[Built2NV]

Nevermind just looked it up, its about a 3 hour trip for me to go, but I may take a ride if someone comes with me and I have my exhuast fixed, as of now its too damn loud to drive 3 hours straight lol

[vivalahammer]

more pics of the girls? lol

bar beach? where's that, north shore or south??

backwoods aint that far. i think dagreen usually goes to that show. but i'm not sure if he's goin this year.... he's broke like the rest of us. ha ha ha.

[Built2NV]

yea bar beach is on the north shore in north hempstead or something like that. I was asking Joey about going to backwoods I think he may take a ride with me, but if dagreen goes that would be great too!

[nimrod8560]

Domo went MIA during the rebomb?

if ya got someone to ride with, ya it aint so bad. i'd definitely recommend putting a radio in ASAP. ha ha 4 years ago, i drove to Carlisle and back with no one with me and no radio......IT SUCKED!!!
you don't have a $100 head unit layin around somewhere? i'm sure gary or joey does. hell you could probably find one on craigslist.

[dagreenmonster]

im definitely liking the green! any more pics of the girls lol

backwoods is a really fun show, ive been there the past 3 years. the hike isnt too bad. basically if u go to orient point, take the ferry across to CT, its about another hour and a half north in CT....im still undecided if i can make it though

[Built2NV]

Thanks guys! and I got my old alpine with ipod hook up in there, did that as soon as I got it home haha no more pics of teh girls though met the two on the right when we got to the show and the one on the left is my boys girl. Domo prolly wont be making a comeback, looking to get my bodywork in a few months, plus I redid teh hood with pedo, domo, fitz (12 oz mouse), drinky crow, and boo from mario (ghost) then I stripped it and color change!

[Built2NV]

Heres a random pic I took the other day and one I totally forgot to upload, thought it was a cool shot

[FCKNLOW]

just read this whole thread....this truck is awesome! you bringing it to carlisle this year?

[Built2NV]

thanks man! hell yea its going to carisle, idk what color itll be though haha

[Built2NV]

Just looked at yourtrucks too, badass bro!!! Which one you bringing to carisle Id love to see the frame work on that first gen looks sick!

[Gearstix]

I like your truck alot. The wheels fit it perfectly, I hope you don't slap some 20s on it. Dogdishes FTW. I wish I could find a similar style but with GMC instead of the bowtie, but I can't. All the GMC ones look funny.

Looks good, I'll be following your build.

[Built2NV]

Yea its going on 20s sorry man! I love the way it looks now but once its all straight and done the way I want to they just wont look right IMO. Going for HOK Lime Time Green on the top and possibly Tuxedo Black (mercury milan color) on the bottom and do the bodyline indent in silver. Prolly do some boss 335s but nothing is set still got a long way to go
