Day off from working on the truck, yeah... day off from everything else, no... taking over momma's daily grind makes momma feel super special.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

We were at last nights game, it was a heartbreaker.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Everything ok there floodwise?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Come on now it wasn't that bad......depending on which side you're on. I finally had to go to bed after the first two OTs.

Any updates on the truck?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

There are probably 5,000 without a home currently, but it was slow coming so no emergencies or deaths.
My brother in law was interviewed and is on NBC, CNBC, The Weather Channel, and our local news. He is volunteering at a shelter and gets a little choked up talking about the families.

It says security key missing, contact administrator which I did over a week ago!
Any moderator help here?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

usually that message actually means your pictures are too large....

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

drewskiren, pictures are too large for the built in re sizer to handle

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

have you try just posting 3 at a time ? thats has happin to me before

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Well, guess what I am still doing. Blocking and priming!!! Yee haw.
The second picture shows a spot I haven't yet hit with the 600 grit paper, which is what the whole panel looked like before. The 600 grit makes it so flat that even the primer starts to have a little shine to it.
The last pic is a little eye candy of my new displacement. I am a bone head though and forgot to weld up the old hole. I am thinking I may bond a piece of plastic to the back side and dab a little bondo in the hole.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I know the truck's a driver, but the emblem not being centered would drive me nuts. Since it's not my time ;) weld up the holes, drill new ones to center it...and then hit it with a bit more filler and it'll be great :D

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

mistakes, re-dos, and whatever else, I am still jealous of your progress! You are doing a GREAT job and I have MUCH respect for your work!

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

I thought about centering, but thought it was nice pulled back too. A little more artistic than just standard what you would expect.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Hey Drew Awesome build great concept, The 327 emblems are cool, instead of centering them you could add a Little Hammer to the end. Signifies Builder. It looks great just the way you have them. Ed.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

or maybe add an SS emblem to the end....327 ss

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Please. Anything BUT that. There's even a Honda Civic running around here with SS emblems on it.

Pretty soon everything ever built will be a "SS".
;)

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

Sorry bout the Grizzlies....


....are you back to the truck yet ;)

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
 

We had quite a ride!

Yes I will be back on the truck tomorrow!
