Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Paint looks Real Good, What is that Silver you Used?

Thanks, Rick

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

its a BC/CC i have the paint code in the garage. my buddy gave me about a 1/2 quart that he had left over, iirc it's a BMW silver. I have the paint code if you want it, he uses the MATRIX system line. PM me as i am easily distracted on this site for some reason :)

This weekend is the last weekend for deer season , so hopefully we get some weekend work going again....

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

hahhaa

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking good. 94 chevy truck serp setup, right? Looks the same as mine.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Yeah, i went junk yarding at a local yard and all were scattered around. I then located a fresh '94 suburban.... and here we are... I will post a couple of updated pics soon.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Small update we have the serpentine setup completed. We decided to shave the wire channel instead of capping it. still need a final grind, and few touch up welds in a couple of places. Will continue sanding the firewall, underside and inside the cab to bare metal. Trying to get it to my buddy's paint shop in a couple of weeks.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

be thank full to have you kid working with you, mine wants to skate board. he is good at it. after i get my cab painted and set on the frame i am going to try to get him to help with reassemble. your truck is looking good.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thank for the Comment. My son is 16, and this is his truck. If he doesnt help i dont work on it solo. So if he wants it done , he will help. Good looking build you have going there Big Head.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

ok we are making a little progress, currently we are sanding the interior of the cab, I cutout, made a patch and welded in where the floor shifter went today..

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We made more progress continuing to strip the cab down. we flipped the cab on its back, and sanded, and wirewheeled underneath ( it will be rhinolined in the future) steadliy moving forward. We found some rust when we removed the windshield so i will have to address and patch a couple of areas...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Picked up some seats for my son's truck. I bought them at lunch, and put them in the garage. When he arrived from football practice i told him to go start working on the truck, he was in shock when he opened the garage... :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

NICE!!! I'll bet he was in shock!!!

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

we are making more progress, me have welded up more holes made by the PO. we have the entire inside cab sanded down as well, we need to cut and weld in a couple of patches on some rust we found when we removed the windshield.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Looking really good! What brake line kit did you go with?

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Since i switched to the '72 front and rear suspension, I went with '72 brake lines etc. I bent, cut , and flared the rear brake line and we fabbed a mounting point for the rear brakeline fitting on the frame.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

We made some progress on the dash repair, i cutout the rust, and hand formed the replacement with hammer and dolly and some knee bending, pie cuts etc. It took me a couple of tries, but am happy overall with the outcome since i dont have any metal working tools etc... :metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Brother, you are kickin' butt.

Good job - you wanna do my suburban to Crew cab conversion????

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Nice work. I'm with you on limited sheetmetal tools. It makes a person get creative on how too shape a piece of metal. Keep it up.:metal:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Josh. getting a lil closer everytime we work on it. I tell my son that as well. I could probably help you , but dont think i have the skill set to do the conversion by myself... :lol:

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Alan,

Hoping with enough practice that i get to your skillset one day. It would be nice if i was able to paint my own vehicles one day and the job turned out as nice as the paint looks on yours.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Man nice work a was looking where you posted about the ground work
I need a quote to.

Well you said a mouth full about your son
,.Just the other day my son was helping me. I told him to go get something from the house he never came back!!! I was like what the hell is he doing!!! I had mud all over me. So I don't want to walk all the way from the back of 2 acers so, I walk to the front he's got mud all in the house and he's playing the play station .So I tell him what happen? He tell me I'm tired , "I said man if you don't get your but out here and help me. Do you think when you get a job!! you can tell your Boss you tired ,do I tell you I 'm tired and then just come home in don't go back to work, or don't pay bills we have to work so do you.. :lol: He will thank you later. I thank my mom all the time.

Sorry about all that.... keep up the good work ...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks for the reply, My son is staying stoked especially since it will be ready to go to my buddy's body shop soon, we just need to finish patching up some more spots on the firewall.

Good luck on your shop, I wanted a 20x40 but we got annexed to city so i ended up building a bricked 16 x 32 .. Keep your son heading in the right direction, they will appreciate later on in life.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

Thanks Mike i saw a couple of members threads that used this. Will probably give it a try.

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

I meant underside cab but couldn't edit it... underside of bed as well...

Re: Project Slo-Go 67
 

They have some stuff call lizard skin you put under the bottom of the cab for heat and road noise.
