Why-Wear SEMA build...

[ybnrml]

What do you guys think? The truck is currently at The Kustom Edge (Potter from Aftermath) getting built. We'll hopefully have a build thread started soon. Daniel Reyna did the insane rendering. It's a two-tone black on top, olive green on bottom, w/ a cream graphic splitting the two colors. The truck already has suicide rear doors, but I wanted the classic Lincoln look but with 69 Camaro door handles. All the chrome on the truck will be sanded down and flatcleared to give it a brushed aluminum look, including the front bumper....and yes I'm leaving the cab lights on.

Nice progress Shay. Gonna be awsome for sure.

[bigperm]

[ybnrml]

Thx guys...Potter is actually building the arms himself. Should be pretty trick. You know John, I think you should trade me front ends...lol. I frickin love that denali front end and that bumper bro.

Not Potter's fault, we had to pull out of Sema b/c of an unfortunate incident at our carshow. But we're back on the build now and looking forward to Sema '11.

[ybnrml]

Yea my truck is going to be black and a dark olive green w/ a cream divider...nothing like the tundra.

[Redd]

[ybnrml]

i didnt think you had to z that year chevy...

Normally don't on this bodystyle, but mines a 3/4 ton and the crossmember hung 3/4" below the frame.

[ybnrml]

Update: She is off to the alignment shop and to get the exhaust finished.

[bdydrped]

do you have any pics of the frame>? im just curious because on my 1 ton i didnt have to z it, or put a drive shaft tunnel.

[2000xcabhooptie]

on my 2000 crew cab dually the lower a arm layes b4 the frame does also

[bdydrped]

mines a 94, only thing i had to do was notch the top of the rails right where the firewall is and replated them but the x member and framrails lay out just like a half ton.

[ybnrml]

I don't have any pics but my a arms hit before the front of the frame. Not sure what the difference is but mine is a 2000 also.

[ybnrml]

She's back, now it's time to get on the door handle treatment, possibly a rear bumper, and I'm needing another factory GMC grille if anybody has one. Also probably going to run front and rear bench seats if anybody knows where I can find any...maybe out of an old impala or something. So my front buckets will be for sale soon.

WOW!! you have a ton of toys. SS impala, a 65 or so Chevy. lol nice work on this one tho..

[ybnrml]

Thx guys! The SS is sold, just waiting on my buddy to come drive her home...lol. The 60 Chevy is another friend of mines. He came over to the house to visit about 2 years ago and the motor blew up on the way here. He coasted it in and never came back for her. I hope she's mine soon...lol.

[logannull]

[ybnrml]
