Very nice build.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Thanks for the updates.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Kevin, Looks great glad to see the progress and it looks like you should hit your deadline.

Thanks for answering my questions on the paint!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Kevin, I had a blast watching this build. You absolutely nailed it. Most original idea I have seen in a long time. Don't change a thing!

I was going with a retro and minimalist plan on my truck, and it just looks like another "cookie cutter" square next to yours.

Again - outstanding job!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Love this truck

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Nailed it again. Love your builds.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Very cool build. Very fun to read build up.

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR CORNHOLE!!!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Did you ever get the Little Larry's valves sorted out?

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

This turned out very cool. Not at all what I expected, but I find the finished product captivating and intriguing. Jolly good show!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Looks good man, I stubble across your page on instagram last night.. Bout flipped out! lol I havent been keeping up with this thread because we just got internet again! Looks awesome man!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Kevin, your builds are the ones I come to time and again to see how you got around a problem. Your attention to detail is right up there, too. Your truck(s) turned out great !

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Kevin, I like the blue and white. Nice build..what is your last name, so I can find you on FB?

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

WOW............I've been lurking again but WOW!!!! Kevin that truck came out fantastic as usual for your builds. Yep.....my truck is still sitting in front of the garage! I'm back in Italy until May 15th but I will at least start pulling my truck apart and getting something done on it when I return. I still have the old style V6 in storage if you decide to go that route in the future. I have bought a newer balance shaft V6 for my truck as I have come to the same conclusion you had back last year. I'm not going to haul anything that heavy and it's not for drag racing. With the newer ECM I can also run E85 or anything in between with the sensor in the fuel line..........FLEX FUEL SQUARE BODY!!!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Sweet build.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

How's the truck treating you Kevin? Have you been driving it much? New pictures?

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

This is a slick truck/project. What happened with the Little Larry Valves? I need your attention to detail, you do some awesome work. And I appreciate you showing us this project, and your other projects.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Hope Kevin is OK, been a while...

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

+1
His attention to details and doing it right inspired me to want to up my game at my repairs.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

any updates??

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

I think Keven has left the building ,I sure do miss him too.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Me too! Anybody know where he went? He okay?

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

He usually has a lot of irons in the fire (life, family, work, his business, projects). When he loses interest in something it's just one of those things. Won't matter what he's working on.... it will come out well built.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Strange....

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Not really. He knocked out three project trucks back to back. In one of those threads he said he was neglecting his farm and other things he wanted to do and was about to get away from trucks. This place is a crack-house for truck junkies so it kinda makes sense he quit cold. He mentioned leather working projects a few times and the tools he'd bought getting into the hobby, I'd bet he's indulging that and catching up on projects around the house.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

He also had some motor cycles in the works if I remember right ,I just miss his attention to every little detail .Regardless ,I wish him all the best and if he ever misses old trucks he will come back.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Kevin, hope all is well with you. I have read the builds of this truck, the Hillbilly Deluxe and the 90 4x4 more times than I can count. Each time I spot something new I missed before and learn something new.

Your trucks are all nice when you get done with them and I would be proud to call any of them my own. Do I agree with every single thing you do ? No, however, the quality and attention to detail cannot be faulted at any level and I respect the effort that goes into it all.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with all of us , it is greatly appreciated. I don't own a Chevy truck any longer but the lessons learned from you and others here will be applied to anything I work on.

Thanks!!!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Anybody heard or seen Kevin? I was trolling craigslist in the Dallas area a few weeks ago, and I could have sworn I saw a post of a cab for sale that was this truck's cab. Can't find it today...

Just wondering what's up with him. I know he was leaving here for awhile, but hope he did not part out this truck....

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

I saw him a few weeks at Decatur Swap Meet. He's doing well, but I'm not sure what's going on with this truck.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

I'm sure all of my friends on my Jeep forums are asking the same questions about me and where I went. Since I am in the middle of my Truck build and the Jeep is done (well, functional) I spend my time here. If we spend all our time on forums we won't be able to get our projects done.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

One of today's postings referenced this build - Very Cool

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

wow! Awesome freakin thread man! Love the finished product.....just read this from beginning to end over the last 2 days! :metal:

Definitely in the inspirational category! thank you!

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Be sure to read his other threads, links in his signature. :metal: It's a crying-ass shame he isn't an active member anymore.

Re: My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade
 

Yep!
Sharp dude with some great how to threads and incredible attention to detail.
