{Project} Finish it already Kenny

[///AL]

wheels look good on there!

[Kenny_Cox]

yes sir!

[Kenny_Cox]

So, I just got back from Total Mayhem, hell of a nice shop. Very bright, very clean, everything seemed very organized... and PACKED. Kyles got a lot of work, and more stuff lined up. Seems like a very straight forward, down to Earth guy. I look forward to doing business with him. I again, forgot the camera and half the other stuff I was supposed to take with me. Someday I'll have more photos.

[Mystic_Knight]

[Kenny_Cox]

Kyle is in the thread, he already posted the photos, there is nothing new. This week he is going to whip up an estimate, i am going to give him the go ahead, then fun pictures shall begin. He said it should be cheaper than he expected, so I might get some other fun stuff done hehe

[lowNslo]

right on i cant wait to see this thing moving again

The shop is quite impressive I must say. very clean, very bright, lift, nice little area up front where they have some products. Second nicest "shop" i have seen to date. Sure there are some better, but they have a nice get up there.

I am confident my truck is in good hands, better than it has been in thus far that's for sure.

[droppedss]

great to see it there.

Al's wheels are whores!

[Kenny_Cox]

yes, big whores. Kyle called yesterday, everything should start progressing soon.

The problem is that he needs a couple things and I am really busy right now with exams, school work, spring break, etc.... that I don't know when I can get over to the trailer to get the stuff he needs. Let alone whether I can actually get IN the trailer to get the parts out. Hopefully after my eye exam today I can head over there and grab the stuff he needs. But knowing my track record with anything involving this truck, something will go wrong lol.

[///AL]

you gotta start being more positive man! otherwise your doomed lol

turn that frown upside down haha

[Kenny_Cox]

well i wanted to come out there today but i cannot even keep my eyes open outside right now. I got my pupils dilated at my eye appointment this morning. She said because I have blue eyes it would be pretty sensitive to light... I was like ehh no biggie, I can handle it.

Good lord! the sting if I leave em open, no driving long distances for me that's for sure haha. I might try to get my ole man to take me to where my parts are tomorrow and get it to Kyle tomorrow afternoon, but i've got a damn doctors appointment tomorrow. I mean come on!

[Tuckin15's]

so kenny who you thinks gonna win undercontruction you or jordan? haha

[Kenny_Cox]

i wont be draggin it to OT, unless things really work out, but i don't foresee it happening.

If I took it, I would win, because it's rigged and I paid off the judges.

haha yeah me and jordan i really trying hard to get his frame done and the cab BD and on there by the OT show so we will see what happeneds.

[Kenny_Cox]

he's not going stock floor? I thought he was building an entirely new frame, shows how much I pay attention to things.

I wish you the best of luck, mine has been a bitch, i think it's cursed, we'll see how things pan out at Total Mayhem.

no he just backhalfed it and thanks. but im defintalitly not gonna have mine done by OT.

[Kenny_Cox]

well it's still an Ok show. I didn't stick around long last year because I didn't have a truck and I was bored outta my mind.

[bitchin sonoma]

about time kenny!!no worries i got at least 20 to 30gs on top of my sonoma,i am kind of freaking out because I am not done with the project.Eventually she will get done.Good thing you decided to keep it.becuase i magine all the money you put into it and then just sell it,not cool.You better finish her off piece by piece.

[Kenny_Cox]

Ill give it my all good sir. Just a matter of time. Thankfully i've got some good guys to work with now, the truck won't go sitting for three months at a time and not get anything done.

I respect my friend for attempting it, but he obviously bit off more than he could chew, a firewall is something he couldnt get done. But, due to the lack of work he did do, I will now be getting it painted by Al. I just hate the fact that I don't have time to take this shit to Kyle, I hope I get some time tomorrow.

You paid them! NO!

Yeah its traditional. I build a new frame to abotu mid cab. I was thinking abotu stockfloor but since its my first truck/major project i sort of steered away from that.

Also i used to race a junior drgaster that i was really squished into, so i am sure i wouldn't mid the cab commin down. And im only 5' 8" if that.

What does kyle need to start? Isn't he just redoing the tubs and firewall?

[Kenny_Cox]

Yes sir, but I need to take him my stock dash, as the firewall needs to be almost completely re done. If i don't take the dash, who's to say the stock one will even go back in when completed. I was going to have him make me a sheetmetal dash, or put an old impala dash in there, but I really just cannot afford that right now. Cheaper the better, just wanna get her road worthy as soon as possible. I won't be cutting corners, just not making it EXACTLY what I want.

If i keep it when i move, maybe down the road it will get more attention, for now, my main thing is getting something done. I did find another color I want AL to call on, hopefully it's only a two stage, the Jet stream was a three.

I didn't want to do traditional, I am a pretty big guy, about 6'4" 215, I didn't want to feel any more cramped than I had too

lol, i feel ya on the road worthy thing. It will give ya some motivation once its done to do all the mods you want to do.

Good Call AL is gonna paint it? I have seen his stuff on GLC. He does a nice job painting.

i weight abotu 180, but i don't mind beign crammed in there. I just hate the stock feeling of my xtreme, i like feeling "in there i guess" Racing dragsters didn't help. lol.

[dngrous_dime]

subscribed.

[Kenny_Cox]

it's probably a tri-coat, but we'll have Al call on it to confirm.

haha you are quick i edited like 5 seconds after it was posted.

[Kenny_Cox]

haha

I am going to talk to my ole man, see if he and I can run over to the trailer tomorrow morning, early. Then run out to Total Mayhem with all my shit. I'd just be a drop and run since I have a damn appointment at the docs in the afternoon.

Hopefully I can get it all out there since I would REALLY like to have Kyle working on it while I am gone.

[lastbil]

well now all i need from kenny is a signature and a deposit hell i might have it done before he gets back from his trip ill forsure post pics after he signs off the truck and we get rolling i should post a pic of the shop right now you can hardly move.

[Kenny_Cox]

thats a good thing!

I just asked my dad, we are going to roll over to the storage place tomorrow morning. I will hopefully head your way around 11:00 or so, then jet home for my appointment. I am bringing the column, pedal assembly, and the dash. oh and the headers. they may not look the best but they'll do.

[dbornotdb]

Well Kenny my friend, when I saw the dash options you were kicking around, I felt compeled to show you one I am doing the body work on now.
You know the 64 Impala dash in RRRyans...... well this is the 59 Impala dash for JRods Blazer........













Maybe alittle inspiration for ya.

[Kenny_Cox]

yep, you're an ass!

Thanks a lot, you know I cannot afford that, but it looks stunning!

[dbornotdb]

Heres the 64 all wet looking........













Installed for now......












Maybe someone will hook you up with a deal for a similar dash in your ride??

[Kenny_Cox]

maybe, maybe not. unfortunately this has turned into a budget build. So what we might see is a stock dash paired with LIMO tinted windows lol

[2001xBlazer]

got anymore pics of jrods blazer?its a 2 dr correct?

[dbornotdb]

I don't wanna whore Kennys thread too much. But I can put some random pics off my computer into his(JRods) album on my website.
I'll PM you the link when I get time to do that.

[Kenny_Cox]

Edit: This one has A LOT more photos:
http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/inde...lbumId=2434338

[dbornotdb]

Yes, it is a 2 door.

And Kenny whored it for me. So I don't have to do any work.

[Kenny_Cox]

at least I am good for SOMETHING. I cannot update my own build but I will showcase others.

[Kenny_Cox]

dash is at kyles shop, as well as the headers, the tranny crossmember and the column. I made my initial payment so he could get started. Hopefully while I am gone he'll get started.

[Mystic_Knight]

Nice jack stand shifter. That 64 dash is SEXY.

Kenny, you should just make a full custom dash.

[Kenny_Cox]

id like too, but I cannot afford it. So the stock one will have to do.

[ZEROpsi]

Damn, ware have i been?


i wondered why the old thread hadnt been updated in a while.


Lookin good kenny! keep the progress rollin!




Taylor

[Kenny_Cox]

yes sir! Gimme a shout via AIM or PM when you get a chance Id like to ask a question about my lower control arms.

[Mystic_Knight]

Nobody said you have to do it now.

[Kenny_Cox]

Oh for sure! If i don't do it now though, I don't foresee it ever getting done. I am going to try like hell to get this done, drivable, showable and all that jazz before the end of the summer. So I can at least hit up a couple big shows. I want to be able to experience that at least.

After that, it will be time to make a decision. I will be close to moving by then. I might even spend a couple months during this summer out in Virginia with my uncle as somewhat of an internship/help him set up a new store. I would make some money while "learning the ropes". If I don't do that this summer it will be beginning of 2010. Regardless of when I do the rope learning, I will be moving early 2010 to live there for a while, more than likely permanently. SO with that being said, if the blazer goes with me, she'll be sitting for a while. More than likely it'll get sold off to buy the g/f a ring, but that's another story in itself. For now, it's go time!

Don't do it.

Sell the Blazer for a ring that is.
