Project: Suicidal

[pearl91chevy]

lil update.. i think im finally done cutting out the bed to make the tires clear, and i can tilt the bed with no rubbing.. but might have a issue.. first off my bed is very weak now so im going to tub it with the wheel and notch tubs to strengthen it up..



i dunno if its gonna clear or not..

good thing is i can lay out at the gas station and still tilt my bed without it scraping!!

[pearl91chevy]

and heres a few more just of my cars.. im trying to sell the red 1 gen blazer right now, its my current daily.. i picked up the blue blazer for 3300$ which is a steal, i already lowered the rear 2" to level it out and debaged the whole thing.. also clay bar'd and waxed the whole thing, only 1 dent on it. and of course my project truck and yes i kno the beds off..

[01cherryreds10]

Truck looks awesome!

[pearl91chevy]

Thanks!! i dont have much time to work on it like i used to because of the new job.. but im stil tryin

[pearl91chevy]

heres a lil update.. ran outta paint so i couldnt finish painting it all..

[layinlow88]

sweet...just took the time to look through the whole thread....all i can say is...your a lucky bastard for having a daily driver....you make me sick...lol

lookin good bro...keep at it man

[thingsthatfly2]

yea man lovin ur truck.. so are you keepin those wheels? i thik they look awsome?.. are you tubbin out special for the tilt bed?

[pearl91chevy]

thanks guys.. ya i have to get a tub for the bed, its pretty much the only thing i can do to make the bed strong enough and still have a clean look..

[pearl91chevy]

o and yes im keeping the wheels.. and about the tilt bed, im trying to make it so i can lay the truck out and still tilt the bed without anything hitting or rubbing.. and so far the tub for the bed is probly gonna hit or atleast be very very close..

[pearl91chevy]

heres the update.. sorry it took so long, im trying to get it done.. heres what where i finished tonight....Notice i even shaved the holes where the leafs used to go on the rear of the frame

[von Cube]

looking good man

[thingsthatfly2]

ive been thinking on that.. rather than making 2 seperate wheel tubs.. make one big one... and since i guess u dont have a roller... run some 1x1" square tubing across then make your pannels to fit on those... i made my tubs and notch cover.

[pearl91chevy]

and a few more.. i still working on wiring..

[pearl91chevy]

well heres the end result pretty much.. after stayin up the whole night "yes whole night" working on it, this is wat i got..just need to re-do the break line and its all good.. i already got the bed on to.. i bought some trailor balls last night so i should be draggin tonight if weather holds up

[thingsthatfly2]

U CAN DO IT ALLL NIGHT LOOOOONGG!


looks nicee!

[pearl91chevy]

my first drag being fully bagged!! my g/f even wanted to ride with and she thought it was badass! it was fun and theres lots more to come this year!

[IsAlwaysBroken]

God damn man, who filmed that?!

[thingsthatfly2]

NICEEEEEE wher did u put the trailer hitch balls

[pearl91chevy]

a friend of mine was recording, he tried getting pics 2nd time around but nothing good outta it.. and the balls are mounted pretty much right in the middle of the frame

[thingsthatfly2]

can u lay out with them there?

how fast were u goin?

[layinlow88]

sweet...looks great man....pics of said mounting location?

[pearl91chevy]

i cant fully lay out, i just lay out on the balls like i wanted.. i cant drag while driving cali beacuse horns with drag and no place to mount them with tilt bed.. ill try to snap some pics for you guys... and i was roughly around 55-60

[pearl91chevy]

so heres the the work ahead of me..
first off, fix the horrible gap and line the bed up a lil better lol

stupid lil crack

Its gonna need some work..

other side is even worse..

Nice big crack where gas door was..

Brand new door to..

Beds straighter on this side, just the door lines off.

Finish fixin the hood..

need to get the hood aligned better..

and the cowl shaved, just needs block sanded..

[thingsthatfly2]

[Gearstix]

Hey man, just saw this thread and read through it.
I like how you did the 3.1 V6, do you like how it performs?

Was this the first time you bagged anything?

Really like your truck man. trucks like these are a motivation for me to get off my ass and work on my truck.

[Wicked Mayhem]

damn. the body on that thing is ROUGH!

ya, i guess im ok with the way it performs.. its not a HUGE difference but enough to feel it.. plus its a rebuilt motor so i couldnt pass the deal up..

yes this was the first time bagging anything, this is even my first car i've ever owned to!


and thanks guys for checkin it out.. i kno i got alot of work ahead of me but i wont give up on it. I have thought about a new bed but only prob is trying to get it home. i've checked ALL junkyards around here and there either rusted and to far gone or wrecked.. Its just gotten really beat up from over winter with moving it around and stuff..

[pearl91chevy]

[INTERNATROLET]

Very nice, I just spent a good part of an hour going through this..
What layer do you have on the frame as far as paint goes (What did you use...) Very nice.

[pearl91chevy]

wow sorry i didnt reply sooner guys.. and yea about that pathy lol check the thread out, he moved and the pathy is in my hands now until he comes back and he said i can do whatever to it.. and thanks guys for the support.. i did get a new bed on there, and i've gotten cab/doors/fenders aligned up.. also bout a brand new hood and tailgate.. as for primer.. i just stripped the frame to bare metal, cleaned it, sprayed primer, then paint, then clear.. its actually pretty strong for spray paint

Ditto, That is an excellent use of space.

[sonomaguy]

Especially if you are pulling the heater anyways.

[pearl91chevy]

thats why we put the battery there.. i didnt like how open that space was since i deleted the a/c and heater.. so i made good use of it
