I need to re-sand the fenders for the surface rust so I can epoxy prime them, and it's too damp out for either one. |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Does anyone have any experience with this place?
http://www.skipwhiteperformance.com As I said in an earlier post, I am leaning toward a high compression 327, aluminum heads, forged pistons, solid roller cam... BRUISER, what do you think about the serpentine kit? could you post a pic of it? or is it all in a box and a hassle to get out :) You willing to part with it? And yeah I still have my 455, I should have it back from the builder in a week or so :) |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
ordered another gallon of epoxy primer, and a gallon of 2K primer
36 grit and 40 grit D/A sanding disks, lot's of sanding to do to get back to bare metal. Also went to H/F and got an air drill, and 4 inch grinder for wire brushes and grinding disks for the "patina" on the hood of the cab. update pics soon... |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
went ahead and pulled the trigger on Mcgaughy's 2.5" drop spindles
http://grunionfabrication.com/mcgaug...53-p-2168.html hopefully they will be here in a few days... |

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Going to be getting wheels soon, just want to make sure I get it right... what backspacing should I use for wheels on my truck? stock 10 bolt flipped, no C notch and Mcgaughy's 2.5" drop spindles. i'd like 10" wheels in the back, 8" front. what size tires would be able to fit with plenty of room, I don't want to have to modify fender wells....
any input much appreciated, I hope my drop spindles get here tomorrow! |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado

I think the 10's in rear are fine, in the front the 8's, i hear you might have to trim the LCA's I could be wrong, but that's what i've heard. |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
This is the setup I will be running as well. I am thinking I was told 5" bs on the 10" rims and 4"bs on the 8" up front.

For me, I see no need to have FI/EFI for my DD. Good luck man, get it going :) |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I would consider doing the body work myself but I just don't have the time for it right now. Oh well it is what it is. Are you getting anywhere with yours?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Since i'm putting 2.5 inch drop spindles up front, trying to figure out what is best kind of shock I should use, what do you guys recommend?
I'm doing a flip in the back too, so i'd like to use same brand shocks front/back... using Mcgaughy's spindles/flip kit. Their shocks are like 50 bucks a piece... thanks |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I still need to buy my shock extenders for mine. I am going to try to run the stock shocks. I am going to look into Bilsteins first. The only thing I am not sure about is if I can run stock shocks up front with the 2.5" spindles and 1.5 springs. I have read that I should be able to though. I would be interested in know about this question too. You might have to start a seperate post on the message board.

I'm running Gabriel shocks on mine, and though I haven't really driven it a lot it's definitely an improved ride that's for sure. I would have to say though Bilsteins shocks are pretty awesome and a great shock to use! I wouldn't run drop shocks though as i've heard there crap. KYB is another brand but your going to pay quite a pretty penny or 2 for them. Quote:
You should be able to run your stock or any aftermarket shock aside from drop shocks, because even though your dropping the truck, and putting springs that shock will have to meet up with the spring so I personally don't see where there would be an issue with it. |

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
too much wind, pollen pods, and Maple seeds a flyin around to spray today...
going to make a bootleg spray booth that is 12x12 ft by 8ft tall out of PVC pipe and fittings. going to put the cab up on cinder clocks and 4x4's to get it up off the ground, with a sheet of plastic on the ground underneath it so I don't get dust and crap off the ground when I spray... should be interesting... updates soon |

several (16 so far) pieces of 1 inch PVC x 10 feet long
2 2x4's 4 cinder blocks various T's and side outlet fittings clear 4 mil plastic sheeting will probably make it 16x16 feet... needs more room around the sides... should have it complete in the morning... :chevy: |
Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Truck looks good man. I'm using stock shocks front and back and they work fine
