This is precisely why I f'n hate people who stereo-type people with tats all over the place, thinking everybody with body art are a-holes and such. We're all just human and like everyone else! Though I have no tats nor want any.

Look at the crazy shit you do and say!! LOL Dude, you're a freakin' trip! Keep up the excellent work!


BTW, just my opinion, but if I had that LUV, I'd shave the door mirrors and move them to the fenders!

thanks man.. and about the mirrors, that one is staying as is till paint. then it will only have the rear view inside the truck. i hate side mirrors when the mirror isnt setup to go on like s10's etc how it actually has a spot made for it.


and i got started on the dash.. im undecided on if i like it or not.. opinions? things i should change..

i plan on having 4 ac vents in it, 7 gauges, double din, ac controls, and a glove box

thatd be sweet. project thread???


and i sat and looked at the dash some more.. i like the way its going.. so i moved forward some.

make a little template to see how itd look, and so i can cut some sheetmetal for the top


this kinda finishes off the side, and gave me another mounting point.


next, im gonna pull it out and weld it all up, then stick it back in and do some more work on it..


damn its ****ing hot out!

Re: [ProJecT] Feel the LUV

i haven't started on my mighty max. I'm waiting on getting my new house, so i can go straight into the new garage with it and not have to move it from shop to shop. I'm sure i'll have a ton of pics when i start building it.

looks freaking amazing, but why are you building a new dash instead of cleaning up the old one?

For anyone that dont know anything about the LUV's, new dashes (and straight front bumpers) are next to impossible to find now.
Cant wait to see your truck finished, hopefully it will motivate me more to redo mine!!!

I'm interested to see how you make the transition between the curved piece on the top and the flat on the bottom.

thatd be sweet.. my dad wanted the gxp.. but the gt had discounts that wasnt offered for the gxp, plus gas guzzler tax IIRC, and then since i own a GM and its under their address, they got another 2500 off.. so gt will do

Re: [ProJecT] Feel the LUV

did a little work..

dropped down the mounting point for the brake pedal 2", then sectioned 2" out of the pedal. brake system will have a 6:1 ratio.

Re: [ProJecT] Feel the LUV

Yeah, bogarts..

I want something different. I want brushed wheels or weld racing mgnum golds.. I called rich at bogart wheels n he said they usually brush they before assembly. And since my dad wants them for his car we are trading tires n wheels n he is giving me cash.. He's still coming out way ahead for the deal we have. So I'm gonna rock the cheapo summit wheels for now till it's running so I can use the money to buy parts. Plus it's just in my way of doing things to be changing the wheels lulz

Re: [ProJecT] Feel the LUV

i think i'm going to run a 15/17 wheel combo for the mitsu. gotta call someone up on a 5.3 vortec too... I did some brainstorming with a friend and we pretty much figured i can get way more power for the money out of an LSx...

(sorry for the ramble... haha)

anyway, i like the style with the rings, just not a real fan of the gold. wouldn't look bad on a black truck though i guess.

awesome! and i was thinking of a 15/17 combo too.. it would keep sidewall heights closer together.. still way up in the air on what to get next. and im a fan of the gold.. just not sure how much i like an all gold front wheel and the rear being gold/polished.

and im pretty sure im not keeping the truck black.. not sure what color, just not really a fan of black. i am but then im not

Re: [ProJecT] Feel the LUV

With all that steel square bar you're putting in the dash area, you better strap a supercharger on that LS motor, or that thing's going to be as slow as a stock LUV! LOL
