Re: "Brain check" Project

Sorry Its been a while got really busy with life. I have pulled the plug on that body style as it will need tremendous frame work and its not a stable platform for 1500 hp in stock form.

Soo the build is still going but its not going in a C10. I picked a 2007 Silverado Regular Cab just for that project. Sorry for the disappointment but this how life goes you learn as you move on but doesn't mean that there will be no more eye candy.

As for the C10 I will pull 2007 5.3 and trans and put in it.

I think I should post a thread in GMT 900 for that build but this am where i am at now

I had some up's and down's but I would never abandon the build. If I give up on the build then I give up on everything am just changing things around

I will start cleaning up the frame within next week cuz the engine is coming out soon

Cleaning up the frame with a grinder with wire pad.

Need some kind of cleaner that I can get locally and spray paint. Any recommendations ?

Re: "Brain check" Project

I use the ZEP industrial cleaners from Home Depot, or the Castrol Super Clean. They both work pretty well. Oven cleaner will work well, too.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.
