Looks like us Texas Boys are getting some nice saves!! :metal:

I have a question though for SeTX67 how far are you from Houston? You too Claytona08 how far you from Houston?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Silsbee and Lumberton are neighboring communities that are both approx. 90 miles or so from Houston.

I actually found this truck in Lumberton where SeTX67 lives.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Thanks! I checked with approx. 4 or 5 places and only got 2 verbal quotes. One for 4700$ from Jeff's and one for $6500 from Brooms in Silsbee. I checked with a couple places in Orange but both only do collision repair. Someone told me to check with Classic Chevrolet in Beaumont also.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Dang!! You guys are about an hr from me! Not to shabby I might have to make a trip up there to meet you guys some day when I'm not trying to take my truck apart :lol:

I've been looking for a good shop to do a paint job so I'll be seeing how yours turns out, could possibly be worth the trip to get it painted.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

One shop told me they have about 2 months worth of backlog before they can start my truck. I have used them in the past and they did real good work. If I decided to use them that will give me a couple months to do other nic nacs to the truck.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

yeah that's a little bit of a bonus, did you ever decide on what rims your getting?

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I called the local shop this morning and he is pricing me the same setup I already priced but in the Boss 338's. If they are close in cost I will go with the Foose Rims although they do look very similar.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Sounds like a deal to me! If you get a chance go talk to KSBRKTRACER he's a vendor here on the forum talk to him about some 338's he might be able to give you a decent deal. Just if you want to get a 2nd opinion.

I like the Foose Rims though man, definitely going to be a crowd pleaser thats for sure! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I'll look him up and send him a PM

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Cool man, just trying to help another fellow member save some cash, because we all love being able to save some green :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Save some green to work on the interior....:lol::metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

:lol: yeah what's your plans for that? I need to work on mine maybe you'll give me some motivation to get cracking at it :lol:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Well I plan on doing an original style interior but that will be in the future....just not the near future. :lol:. I have enough money now to do the drop, wheels and paint. I plan on cleaning up my engine bay and dash panel as that shouldn't cost me much money. For my interior I will probably have the bench seat recovered in black and gray material, new black door panels, black carpet or rubber mat with a black dash cover. When I have the truck painted I am going to have them paint the dash the silver so it will tie the seat and dash together. I have attached a picture similar to what I am thinking of doing to the seat. Well it is basically just the colors I plan on using because I don't like the fact that the gray goes all the way out to the edges of the seat.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Yeah I'm going to probably get my bench seat re-done as well but I'm also looking into getting some low back bucket seats too but that isn't a for sure said and done thing.

Its going to look good man!!

I just saw your quote I like it! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I would like to do bucket seats but I have 2 small sons so I am going to keep the bench seat so we can ride around together. Thanks man, long road ahead but eventually it will be done.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Yeah definitely got to make it family friendly that's for sure!!

With time it'll come along even if it's a slow process it'll get done believe me the wait will be worth it :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Just got the price back on the Boss 338's here locally and they are 500$ Cheaper....Looks like I will order the Boss rims later this week.

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Sweet bro!!!! You getting chrome or what? I meant to ask that earlier

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Chrome

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

Oooooo prettttttttttty!!!!!!!!! :metal:

I must admit, I might have to copy your rim selection I was already going to do chrome but DAMN!!!! those are sharp man! :metal:

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

alot of texans up in this thread lol itlle look killer with those rims plus i second the stock color

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I third a brown paint job, but that darker color is not one of my favorites. You could have some fun with the paint and two-tone it differently like this one (belongs to a user on here)

Re: Project Platinum C10
 

I've seen several people on this forum with these wheels. I wanted the Foose rims but can't see spending the extra 500$ for a rim that looks almost exactly the same.
