Looks great man! Your making progress crazy fast

 

Are you closing this thread now that the thread is open in the LSX section?

 

Well kinda yeah.... Lolol

 

So not a project goes in the project section and projects go elsewhere?

 

Correct.

 

Update. Leaving the drivetrain stock for a little. Just going to fix her up and get her "reliable". My buddy renderedbythor did an awesome rendering of the truck. Cant wait to get the truck up and going! Got to put a garage up at the house first. LMK what you think!?

 

That looks amazing dude, I absolutely love those wheels on these trucks! Love the white patina on it too, which is weird because I usually don't like patina.

Thanks guys! Think its going to be a fun project.

 

Since the rendering. I've been reinvigorated about the white truck. It has sat for a few months. It "ran" when I parked it....... Kind of.... With a miss and really really bad exhaust leaks from the manifolds. I replaced both manifolds because one was rotted out and the other had 2 broken bolts. This weekend I was able to fix the miss replace both exhaust manifolds and get her purring like a kitten. Ill be ordering the rest of the drop this week.

 

Sweet rendering? How much did it cost? I want one done of the blazer lol

Why need rendering of a truck that's done?

 

Alright. Got the drop spindles and some misc odds and ends showing up this week. Today was a fun day. Found out some obnoxious news. But also got some sweet shit done.

So Nate sent me that factory radio a few months back. But it never worked. Lit up and buttons worked, but no sound. So yanked the radio and found I didn't clip in one speaker connector all the way. Turns out....... That's the ONLY speaker that works, the other 3 are kaput.... So that issue is "resolved" and now can be fixed properly.

Next on the list, I noticed that when I bought the truck, the kids had the battery disconnected. Wasn't too sure why. So since I've owned the truck I haven't had a drain until the other night. Took the truck out on a little joy ride and I noticed the clock on the radio stayed lit..... Well I was pretty "lit" too. So I went to bed. Sure as shit. Battery dead this morning. Long story short.... It's not a battery drain. It's a worn ign switch. You can pull the key in the access position which leaves the radio on. Thats a nice easy one.

Last!!!! Nate stopped by for a bit last week and brought me this MINT interior. So ****in****ing pumped. Looks sweet!!!!





And last. Got a copy of the final render. Truck is going to look awesome!

 

Gave the s10 an altitude adjustment tonight.

 

Looks pretty decent dude, you going to tint the bumper lights too?

Thanks man! Nah Im going to leave it stock. that one is broken and I keep forgetting my epoxy at work.

 

Well in my never ending battle to finish the check list of all the things this truck needs I got a couple more small things done last night to get it 100%ish road worthy.

tail lights didnt work. None of them.... So I remembered when I bought the truck the bed bolts werent installed. Looks like they lifted the bed with the ground still attached. quick little wire repair.... and vwahlaa! all the tail lights worked.

Epoxied the corner marker and replaced the bulb like Ive been wanting to do since I bought the truck. And installed an emblem in the grill that I had laying around because the one that was there was broken.

Next is steering components. and an alignment. Then a clutch and trans swap.



(I know this is all little boring nonsense, but its nice and easy to help me keep track of everything Ive done.... Sorry no LQ swap yet....)

 

Redid the front end.



Found out the paint is going to polish up real nice



Ride height spot on



and bought a new truck

 

*edit*

 

Nice new truck. I like static first gens, the ride height looks great with those wheels.

 

Thanks man! Im really diggin the new silverado. The facelift on the 16's really looks killer.

 

Got the trans. Gotta buy a clutch. Then alignment.



Also put fender arches on. I think it looks good.

 

I dig it :tup:

 

Thanks dookie!!!!!

 

wow that sure cleaned up nice,
loved the first 10 posts, friggin escalation...

 

Yes sir! Well its all going to slow down for a bit.... Trying to start a new job / bzness. So all projects are going to have to go on the back burner. Need to concentrate on my career a little.

 

Too bad that driver door is bleeding... The rest of the truck looks great.


Maybe scratch out the rust, blow a little primer and then white out...
Temporary, but effective.

 

Ive thought about it. But I think ill be fixing it. Since I plan on making this truck an advertisement / parts hauler.... I want to be able to show potential customers what Im capable of.

 

Good luck, I hope that works out for you.
