Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2

I first had 15X8 Chevy rally wheels on the rear but changed them out to Chevy Rally's Rims 15X6 on front and 15X7 on Rears. The tires are all the same size P235 75R 15. The white walls were buffed at the place I bought the tires to 2 inch width at no extra charge total was around $400 out the door.

Yes Dan, I got rid of the house in the high desert and I retired for good last January still had my home in Arizona.
I bought the cover at Pomona Swap meet. The guy that sells them will embroider what ever you want at no extra charge. His prices went up to $200 his shop is in Apple Valley CA sorry I didn't keep any of the info.

I powder coated at local shop owned by a friend for cheap around $40, just me helps to prevent rust.

Hi Rudy, I notice your location now says Glendale, AZ. You're out there permanently now? I know you said you were moving but are you permanently gone from the desert here?

The seat looks great. Did I miss it? Whose cover is that or did you sew it yourself? And the embroidery, if you bought this who offers that?

I was gonna comment on your mentioning powder coating the bottom frame. Why the expense? It's not like it'll ever be touched much. I'd paint it myself, maybe even rattle can it. No one but you will EVER see it. I know, heresy to some but on my budget I'll save the powdercoating for something that'll be seen and need the scratch protection. Merry Christmas, Rudy!

Worked on a little mock up today after getting the Camaro clip installed and TCI 4 inch drop rear with 2 inch lowering blocks added. A little different from when I pulled it out of the field.

Talked to my insurance agent and now that it is more truck than a pile of parts homeowners property will not cover it so I added it back on the policy then suspended the liability, keeping comp with fire and theft. Will add $4.19 every six months to my premium.

Yeah, looks like it matches pretty well. Does it look that close in real life? Good job.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2

When it was wet it looks exactly like the picture... The shine isn't as deep when it dries...... I'm planning on putting 2 or 3 coats of clear on it tomorrow to get that deep shine. I'm already thinking of re-covering the seat .... Not sure yet , but possibly a two tone of blue and white or blue and brown
