I was taking a picture with my iPhone today and realized it had a panorama function. I looked at all we were doing in the garage so I decided to capture most of it with one shot. It is the first time I have taken a picture like this and it looked so cool I thought I would share it.

In the background is my red Chevrolet dually. We have all the tires and wheels off of it. I have been waiting for the original tires to wear out so I could put on some 285/75-17 Nitto Dura Grapplers. I would love to put some 24 inch alcoa's on it but I have to finish the c10!!

The 66 Suburban is partially backed in the garage and it is getting a second air pump installed for the air ride system.

Yes, the monster garage is bustling with activity and I am sure most of you noticing the garage doors up and the sun shinning.

this was my first one as I said. I guess you know go to the photo screen, click on options, click on panorama, push the picture button, turn in a radius keeping the phone level. My photo was just a little shy of 180 degrees so almost a 1/2 circle.

This was the first time I have taken a pano shot so it was pure luck. I just happened to have quite a few things going on this day so it worked out perfect.......or was it blind luck??

Yes there will be one. I will be posting quite of few pictures of the build on my garage build forum. I dont know if I will start one on the Chevelle forum or not. These forums are a lot of work!! Let me know if you want me to send you a link to the garage forum when we get started on the car.

[lolife99]

Ok guys, if you click on this link you will get to my garage build and I have some photos of a Camaro we did, building the garage, a Mopar we are working on and some other stuff. Its a pretty long thread. I started this thread in April of 2012 and there are about 480,000 views on it so far so there is quite a bit of activity. We will start the Chevelle in a few weeks and I will give you more updates. thanks for being interested!!

Awesome that is great man!! Its a pretty cool site...........kind of combines cars, trucks, and garages.

Back on the truck bed today. I was going to buy the lower filler panel for the tailgate but a friend of mine said he would make one for me. He is the guy who bent all of the metal for my bed. Low and behold he showed up with a filler panel and it rocks!! Started putting it on today. Not sure yet where the license plate will go??




Here is a pretty cool truck I saw on the internet. Thought you guys would enjoy it.

[babyblueoval]

Well...........did you get the Chevelle?


Cool truck.

Yes I brought it back from Indiana this past weekend. I had it picked up in Wisconsin and delivered to a good friend's farm in Indiana. They got in late so it sat out one night a few weeks ago and it snowed. Here is the photo Its a great "before" picture isnt it.

Just thought i would give you guys an update. There has been lots of welding and grinding going on here in the shop. The inner bed panels are installed and the notch cover is on. All of the welds are continuous and it looks beautiful. I just love to see bare metal and it looks marvelous. Now thinking of running the exhaust through the body somewhere? this damn thing lays on the ground so there is not much room.







We did get the bed flipped up today to work on the bottom. I am really torn how far to go on the bottom of the bed. I want it nice but don't want to get too crazy on it. There is so much time in this bed already it is rediculous. By the way, some of these pictures make the bed look out of square. I assure you this bed is right on!!

[72BlckButy]

Absolutely amazing...
