So Blackened Silver Train is TOP SECRET. LOL

Make sure all those grease fittings are in easy reach so you don't have to much OVERKILL involved in greasing the front end.

Re: Project OverKill
 

LOL...not really.... I wanted to do something really cool other than the standard black. Lil' Red's frame is a bright silver...So....painter bud Jimmy mixed it up. What He says is.... it is a combination of Silver, a hint of Purple, and and just the right amout of Black. Sorry I can't tell ya better.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Today at 3pm..time to go pick up newly sandblasted blasted frame. Very excited. Then to paint frame and attatch the 71' disc front end! Cleaned up Power steering pump yesterday...and here it is in gloss black.

Re: Project OverKill
 

I did GatorHyde's monthly billing today and finished early...so dealing with the frame sandblasting de-bockal...I felt like tearing into my rear end. New 5 lug axels on my list and a nice Eaton Posi coming soon....along with a Glock rear disc set-up!

Axels out!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Ok...Got my frame back...Epoxy primer and Blackened Silver Train to follow!

Re: Project OverKill
 

looks killer chevydude keep up the good work.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Glad you got it, I hope the other issues worked out.

Re: Project OverKill
 

The sandblaster is an ass...no quetion about it. Someone just told me he is Bi polar, I don't know this for sure,...that might explain it...but it doesn't make it right. His business name is : Surcore....and I will NEVER NEVER EVER have him do any work for me again.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Alex...ya need some gears for that thang?

I got a set of Richmond 3:08's for a 3 series carrier that are like new....you can have them if you want them....they are just sitting in a box in my garage.

Let me know...

I put 3:73's in the CST.....

Re: Project OverKill
 

Thanks Larry...I've already got an Eaton series #4 Posi in 3.73 on order.

Re: Project OverKill
 

:censored: :cuss: :josh: Surcore!!!!!!!

At least it is done, and back in your hands! Can't wait to see it in paint!

[hijack on]
Hey Larry - I sent you a PM. I'm interested in buying your 3.08's, I need a set for the Atomic Orange!
[hijack off]

Re: Project OverKill
 

The quote was $150....he up'ed the bill to $350....I agrued and we agreed to meet in the middle at $250. The work is nice, but his business practice is terrible. I too, am glad to have it back and will move on the the next step of my project, never again will I use Surcore sandblasting. To all other's get your quote in writing, had I done that I would have had a legal document, I trusted his employee's word. Which was worth poop!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Bob wants the gears Alex...so they are his. I like the 3:73's better too.

:)

Frame looks good...sorry about the blaster...what an A-hole...

Re: Project OverKill
 

Glad you got your frame done and back sucks you had to deal with that ****y company! Can't wait to see it all painted up and bolted back together!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Thanks K5! Dealing with the blaster, sucked...but it's over with and was just another bump in the road. Me tooo...want it painted and bolted together!!!

I was told yesterday that my frame will be all painted and ready to pick up this Wed. the 10th. Excited and ready to bolt up the front crossmember.

I needed to weld up the front underside of the frame before it is painted in this area. PO used the factory holes in the frame as "Tow Hook's". Not too bad for my first welding attempt!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Just got my frame back from paint. Man oh man does it look awesome! And now bolting up the front crossmember.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Very Nice!! I can't do that, I wouldn't want to get it dirty, and there are just too many non-paved roads I travel.

Re: Project OverKill
 

That sure did come out nice!! Looks like you named your project right!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Well yesterday...something came to me...and...I have completely changed my mind... the 383 small block plans are giving way to a BIG BLOCK. So I will be selling all my small block related parts towers, alt bracket, sbc front lowering springs...you get the picture.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Overkill to the n'th degree!!!!!! :metal: Now your talking Alex!

Hmmm, SBC lowering springs huh? How low are they? The Atomic Orange needs to come down about 2" closer to the earth.....

Re: Project OverKill
 

Yeah baby :metal:

Re: Project OverKill
 

Bob these are brand new ECE never installed 2" drop springs. Lil' Red has the same 2" lowering springs plus 2.5" drop spinds. PM me or call me and we can make a deal. They are rattle canned in Chevy Orange...just for the Atomic truck!!! LOL! If Bob doesn't buy them I will post them on the parts board with a price.
