Mirrors

I wasnt to keen on the mirrors until i seen them on an s-10 and they look pretty good.

I also ordered some pleather for my door panels, im going to do a 3-D chevy logo on the top part, and the bottom is going to say either s-10 or blazer in italics, but im still deciding on that. Im also building a new subwoofer enclosure for 2-15"s ported to 28hz. And not to mention the 30 cans of primer i got for under $100, they wanted 5.75 a piece and i asked them what they wanted for a large volume, and i worked them down to 92.50 for 30 cans. So the truck will be one color.

I also picked up one of the one piece grills from the local boneyard for 40

So im going to be a busy boy the next few weeks. But as the progress continues i will post pics.

For those that havent seen any pics of my truck heres a few to give you an idea of why i call it an overhaul.

Pics will come

I just ordered a set of headlight relocators for the grill so i dont have to do the task of replacing the entire core support just for the head lights.

I just got a 1k loan from the bank to get credit and i told my mom some of it is going towards my truck, she went on telling to save it for when i need something. But my truck has been sitting the same for a year and a half. It started out with the clear corners, bumpers lights and the door pods. Then my girl left me alone with ebay for the entire day so after alot of searching ive found most of what i need. I cant afford the cowl hood (i can but i dont want to spend the money right now). So that and the wheels are the only 2 things i havent delt with yet.

On a side note anyone know where i can find stencils for italic letters, or a chevy logo about 10x4, if they are online il print them out and make a wooden stencil. Im glad i learned interior and body work in high school. Im going to get the rollpan welded in.

I also have a spare set of wheels sitting behind my shed so im going to paint them and put tires on them. Anyone have ideas on paint in thinking silver.

Also considering i got paid yesterday i havent really spent anything from the loan and i still have 500 or so from my paycheck so im doing good.

Well the headlight reocators where crap, so i got a spare core support from a friend. I just got that and repaced it. On side of the body is primed, and the rust on the rockers wasnt as bad as i thought it was which was awsome. Ive got almost everything in but i still have alot of work to do. I will get some pics up when i find my camera. But so far ive made alot of progress and considering its been only ten days since ive started. But there is still work to do.

I like the flat black i think it looks so much better. I cant say the same about the interior yet.

Just take it one step at a time. Before you know it, it will be exactly where you want it. You just gotta be patient.

Well the primer/body work is first, then interior, and then the interior. And when i get the cash im going to start building a v-8 for it. And the wheels i found arent blingy, they are 5 spoke split with a polished face and silver sides. But its a work in progress. And i have a friend building a new sub enclosure for me while i work on the truck. And its a big one.
