Haha- no, I can't. It pains me to look at your avatar

I only have to think about what I used the proceeds for to remind me that it was the right decision to sell--and you can always get more toys...

PMing you on those

Thanks! The CPP and McGaughys kits are good for the money and I'm not sure I saved much by doing them this way, but I can say they are custom

if you dont want a project that 2WD from NY looks pretty good, have you talked to him yet. There is always Phattony's up here, its beautiful and very well done with some very unique touches.

Good luck with the search..

gringoloco · 11-25-2012, 03:51 PM

Maaaaan, timing is just so bad for Louise right now. Wish I could get her back from you and put her in storage for a while. Just not in the cards right now...

I am talking to Charlie about that blue 6-cyl. I'll check out phat Tony's, but I think he may be out of my price range.

That unit from TSM is what I have, and am going to run.

Just a word of caution, I'm pretty sure it doesn't meet the DOT requirements for an "emergency brake"....

68GMCCustom · 11-26-2012, 07:48 PM

Really? I thought most shops tested it by putting the vehicle in D, and the e-brake had to at least hold it in place w/o rolling.

killer71 · 12-01-2012, 10:25 PM

Saw you Rollin into shopping center off of Youree drive this evening...I must say your truck looks soooo much better in person! I' ll run you down one day!

You might be right, I really don't know for sure. It just seems like I came across something in my readings about it. I figured I would take my chances.

What's the deal w/deciding against the forward arms?

gringoloco · 12-14-2012, 10:51 AM

Nothing against the arms- I needed to liquidate for another hobby and they were an easy sale. I will probably do the caster mod at some point. Play time/money is all focused on a Blazer right now. My wife is on board (even suggested it), so I'm striking while the iron is hot

I agree do it before she changes her mind

Can't wait to see what both you guys do with Blazers. Someday I would like to get one to go with my 68, until then I will live through you guys

Wasted Income · 12-14-2012, 12:17 PM

x3. My wife is on board with my blazer project...so she doesn't $hit brix when the porch is full of boxes from the UPS man

Here's what the forward arm money was spent on--it's a BMX style 29er, "The Big Ripper". Saw it and had to have it--I'm an old BMXer from way back who used to ride a PKRipper and this thing makes me feel like a 6'6" kid again

jasonhall · 12-15-2012, 11:31 AM

That's sweet !! I wanna get a cruiser and race old man style .. But my wife thinks I'm a retard for wanting to ride bmx again .. Cool bike !!
