[Project] Slow Motion...

[AJ]

-Drop Kit (waiting on other pair of shocks still)
-chrome handles (i dont see why ppl dont like em, they look pretty snazy to me, lol....we will see how they look on the truck)

They will be put on when I get the truck back in a week or too. More pics of the progress of body work maybe tonight.....

[beandip]

Looking good for a project named Slow Motion your getting stuff done pretty quick

[AJ]

Thanks, and thanks for the advice on the drop kit. Its going to slow for me man, haha...im ready to get this thing "done"....but I guess it may be alittle faster then most.

I don't care for the chrome handles, if I was you I'd get the 94-97 smooth ones and paint them, it'd look much better.

yeah, i know...everyone has been sayin that but i dont want mine the same as everyone elses, maybe it can be somethin to set me apart from everyone, plus i like em....but i like to hear opinions

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Honestly I just like things to match and look clean.

I've installed keyless entry on mine and have all 4 reg. handles (Key holes up front and keyless in the back) But I also have 2 extra keyless ones. Been thinking about just installing a 4 keyless ones and painting them...

[AJ]

well i have a vision for the truck, if it turns out how it is in my head...it should be clean and simple lol. if not, or if i get too much s*** for them, then i may consider painting the stocks or something else

[ZQ8 Blazer]

yeah, I like clean and simple

i think the chrome door handles get bad reviews because they look like too much "bling" and they are tacky. I love my color matched handles. I'd rather have them color matched than even shaved.

Looks like good progress though so far. Can't wait to see it painted and with the drop kit on! I am doing my rollpan the same way you did too!

[ZQ8 Blazer]

I have had shaved handles and painted handles. I like both about the same.

idk, it just does something for me...but thats just me i guess. The drop kit and paint should be done within the next week or two. I dont like the look of the rollpan with cracks inbetween so decided to weld and smooth it in, looks 10x better IMO

[ZQ8 Blazer]

Just remember to either have him prime the backside really damn good or you do it when you get it back. Then put a lot of under body coating over that. they tend to rust bad.

[AJ]

i dont like the shave handles look much, but i guess my taste is different.
ill tell him to prime it, thanks

[bagged_2600i]

yeah im not arguing with you man. It's your truck, so build it to your liking. I used to have a body kit on my truck. I got a lot of bad reviews, but also a lot of good ones! I really liked it but I decided to take it off after I bagged it.

Anyways, I agree with the welded in and smoothed pan. It looks great. My pan is sitting in the garage, just waiting to get it welded in when I take the truck for paint over the winter.

[AJ]

yeah, cant make everyone happy.
oh man, cant wait till it gets out the shop!

[Gutling]

I dont like chrome I have always been a color matched guy, but I do think it can be nicely done with a few accents. Rims, door handles, and the chrome front bumper would set it off nice.

thanks, thats what im gonna try and do...after i get the truck back im gonna look for a chrome bumper if it would look right with the two tone i got

[AJ]

Got the truck back today from paint!











Got to put the clear third brake light on, but I'll start on that after I'm done installing the drop kit. Man, this is gonna be fun....not. lol

It looks alright now,but I think it will look so much better lowered. What do ya'll think about it, so far?

[Kovz]

looks great man!!! It will definitely look better once it's lowered! lol

I love the paint though. very cool!

Edit: question... did he sand and smooth the front valence before he painted? it looks good. Hope it holds up to stone chips and stuff.

[AJ]

thanks man, yeah...gonna start workin on the kit here in a bit.
I love the paint too. but yes, he sanded it before painting...i hope it holds up for awhile too.

i dont think ill need a chrome bumper though, but maybe...not sure yet

[bmxbang]

[Driveway Kustoms]

not feelin the door handles, but its your truck and if u like em, than its all good, just get it closer to earth dood!! lookin good

[civil]

damn that paint looks sick. i like how you did the grill half and half. now drop it!!!! :P

[MurderedS10]

very good choice on the paint looks great! and those handles... they are better than i expected. lookin great man.

[Ease]

Awesome!

Paint looks great, handles and all.

Can't wait to see it lowered.

[AJ]

thanks to everyone with the feedback. I think the handles set it off with the color i chose.

well the kit was on and all. then i ran into a problem, my tires are to thick for the wheel well, now i have to wait for new tires

255-40-18 is too big
tommorrow i will have the new 225-40-18 on

so its all good, i was sooo pissed i coundnt go ride today, but hopefully tommorrow ill be able to

[Kovz]

make sure you take out the top bolt in the inner fenders. It is directly above the tire. It will gouge your tire if you hit big bumps in the road. Just take it out and no problems after that.

[MurderedS10]

how low are you going again?

[AJ]

alright thanks, just a 4/5 but the tires were thick and did rub alittle without lowering if i turn all the way.

[sonomanator]

looks good can you get a good picture of the door handles for me and where did you get them i think they would look good on my truck.

[AJ]

ill get a good pic of em, but theres a few pics uninstalled an where i got it somewhere in the thread, let me know if you cant find it

[sonomanator]

cool i found them on ebay how hard are they to install?

[AJ]

they were pretty easy actually, just remove panel and a few bolts

[sonomanator]

cool thanks.

[AJ]

no problem, keep watchin my thread.

should be lowered with new tires tommorrow

cool cool, glad to see someone else liking the handles enough to put em on there own. should have more pics tomorrow

[Merritt]

turned out nice man

[MurderedS10]

if those tires that you have on those wheels are still good, ask to keep them and sell em, if not... don't worry about it. if you make $100 of the tires, i say you did well.

can't wait to see this thing making a better relationship with concrete.

[Andy89a]

two tone style looks nice

[AJ]

thanks for the comments.

yup, im keeping the tires, at first they were trying to keep em and id just pay for the tires, no labor but i figured id get more out the tires since they were pretty much brand new....im gonna try sellin em

[sonomanator]

i got bored and lowered your truck in paint trust me its going to looks sick.
