dang Funk! that actually looks really good from the pics man! and i'm glad your keeping her...

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanx! my dad was also very suprised!! and only cost 22 dollars! you actually need 2 rolls, i only had enough for one, so under the seat back isnt done, but, its temporary, but looks good, its weird how much the carpet can change the look of the interior!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Yeah it made a big difference. Looks great man. Good job! :thumbs:

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

hey funk, whats the price on a step-side? i have one myself, a 86 im fixing to put under the wrenches.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Truck is really looking sharp! Just read through a few pages and glad you decided to keep it. It will be yours and something you can take pride in!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

its a realy mice looking truck and like the others say you done the work youreself and know its good .
that other truck might be in primer and had bodywork done to it but there no telling wat holes he filled with wat substance keep that truck and maybe try to sell some parts off the burb and the old front clip you dont use

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

sadly, i only got 2500 for it, and thanx guy! i am also glad i kept her! almost made a mistake trading, progress has been extremly slow due to an ongoing project/show car i have to get done by the oct 20th, (pics attached) but the truck comes into the body shop mid january for a two tone blue/silver paint job!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

texasfunk is that your car? Or are you painting it? Looks good either way.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Wow that's going to look sweet. You guys are doing a great job on the paint on that thing.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanx for the compliments guys! and unfortunately it isnt mine, its a major project in my collision class, and the teacher wants my name on it to gt me some rep, car belongs to the school and is goin to shows to advertise, he wants my name out there, he came up with the basic design but it all layed out and sprayed by me, i'll have some finished pics in a week or so :)

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

heres some outside pics! 11 coats of clear!! thing is sitting under glass! and i didnt run it once!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

that camaro turned out nice

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

That looks awesome man. Great job.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

I really like that paint job just not on that car. Did you do the airbrush work yourself? I'm just not a fan of bold graphics on that body style Camaro.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanks for the compliments guys! and yes i did do all the airbrushing as well, (first time airbrushing as well) and i didnt agree with the painjob at first either, but it belongs to the school, its a joint project including auto tech and auto body, it is to showcase our skills and hopefully get the school more students

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

wow! this thing is far back! well, you guys are in for a treat, lots of things happening after christmas, short list
-add skinnier front rally's, it may change to some torqlites or dragstars later, but im contemplating getting my rallies chromed
-add73 front clip
-strip truck
-shaves stake pockets, random holes, fix rust on bed, shave cab seam, and side markers
-make the small custom pieces, alot of big round light fans will noticemy change to the front end, i think its subtle, but it will be cool i think,
-get it in primer before next semester projects begin
finally got the BIG things done to my el camino (few pics including just for interest) and she's in primer, the rest will be finished by the other students, and now its winter break, got some time, to really dig into the truck and get her ready for paint!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Why the change of direction to go with the 73 front clip?

Camino looks good man!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanx! well figuring i got the 69 camaro, im having to spend money on 2 projects, so i wont be able to go AS custom as i wanted on my truck, i could still throw the fancy paintjob, but id have no money for 20"'s and a truck that custom, well, needs big wheels :lol: so i figured id go a mild custom, hot rod truck, some 17's with big rubber in back, older clip for a more muscle look, i am going to mold in the tailights still if i caan get that to work, i have been practicing mthe airbrush techniques more and more, and i am thinking about airbrushing the chrome trim the round lights have all the way around, if tht dont work, i'll just put the actual trim on, :lol: i am stilll using the same colors, just not AS crazy, the guy i got the clip from has another swb i may try to get down the road, once school is done with, i want to go all out on one:chevy:

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Are you in Tim's class off of Ave. Q?

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanx! i think i located one but it isnt for sure! but if i do i'll let you kno!

and i was! i took 3 years of auto body in high school, and i worked for him at best collision for a little while until i went to SPC!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

heres the hood the first time around! the shop that painted it before i got into body work a few years back just riveted it! this is the first time i ever attempted body work!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

I am digging the Elky! I had an '81 I drove through most of college. We swapped a 5.0 TPI in place of theriginal 229 V6, and I ended up rebuilding everything, and re-wearing it out again. I loved that thing.
