Great progress in a short amount of time! Keep it up.

Finally picked up the cab, bed, tailgate and cowl from the body shop yesterday. 2006 Corvette La Mans Blue, it matches my dads car.

Great job..

GKsport67 · 10-16-2008, 09:03 PM

nice

72BlckButy · 10-16-2008, 09:05 PM

Coming together nicely! I love the serpentine setup!

**ERIK D** · 10-16-2008, 09:18 PM

Nice engine colors,and body color.
Great work.

NWD02 · 10-16-2008, 09:21 PM

Thanks guys... it's been fun. Once I put the rest of the body together I'm taking it back to painter, few places he needs to fix.

**gregfull** · 10-21-2008, 08:47 PM

Great build. Is that Jose? Where in Pasa-get-down-dena are you? I have a machine shop in South Houston.

STOCKISH · 10-21-2008, 09:06 PM

That color looks sick! Awesome build so far.

NWD02 · 10-21-2008, 11:11 PM

That is Jose. I'm off Beltway and Fairmont. I grew up by him in South Houston.

nuke1 · 10-22-2008, 12:41 AM

Great looking truck.

Rokcrln · 10-22-2008, 10:09 AM

Wow is all I can say! I started reading this and saw the $450 truck and thought their goes a bunch of money that will never get finished (like we see so many times on here) but then you got started. You are going to have a very nice truck when you get it done. So is the wife still encouraging you on the build or has that worn off yet

Keep it up and stay safe on the street's!

The wife is hounding me to finish. HAHA. She even hangs out in the garage with me when I'm working. She got so excited the other night I let her tighten a bolt, haha. She was a good set of hand when I installed the evaporator too. It's been fun for both of us. The color was something we talked about for so long and then we finally decided. My dad's 06 vette is the same color, so needless to say, he's been asking a lot more questions about the project too.

AGRV8D · 10-30-2008, 04:26 PM

Good job, nick.... once you get done, you can help me out

NWD02 · 10-30-2008, 11:27 PM

Of course....

I picked up my fenders and grill the other day. So I would not have to worry about scratching them in the garage I just bolted them on. I'll take them off of course to install the doors then finish assembling the body. I picked up the hood, doors, door hinges, etc. last Saturday so more pictures coming soon (hopefully).

NWD02 · 10-31-2008, 10:27 PM

A few more...

abebummy26 · 10-31-2008, 09:13 AM

tvblazer78 · 10-31-2008, 11:34 AM

I love that color!!!

OARNGESI · 10-31-2008, 11:11 PM

Nice truck thought it was suppose to be red though

NWD02 · 11-01-2008, 12:04 AM

Well, the bed was red when I bought it. I had thought about red but changed my mind. It looks good on our trucks but there's just too many of them. I wanted something a little different.
