Re: Project OverKill

Re: Project OverKill
 

That cracks me up! :hm: FF is no stranger to a little metal "modification"...

Love the build Overkill!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Get a hankie, lol!!! It's going to happen!!! LOL!!!

Lil' Red will be under her own power sometime Monday the 20th. She will be taken home to our 3-car garage. No welding burns for her!!! I posted a few pics of the last bits needed for Lil' Red on the message board.

Alex, next Tuesday, the 21st, all systems are a go!!!! I'll plan on being there at 8, give or take a few minutes. I think I'll take Hwy 85 there, that way I won't be late for shooting some idiot driver!

I'll load up the inner fenders, jack, jack stands, plasma, clamps, etc., everything that I think I'll need. If you happen to have some of the same stuff there, then we'll be just assured we have extras and backups!

Re: Project OverKill
 

So Glock (Bob) and I have made arrangements for him to come down to my shop for the day to cut, shorten, and weld back Project OverKill's long bed frame...into a short bed frame!!! We worked out a little trade... me GatorHyde coating his shortened 68' project inner fender underneaths, (should be nice for deflecting rocks and gravel) and employ Bob's welding expertise on shortening my frame. I am very much looking forward to Tuesday. No Truck bed sprays on Tuesday!!!LOL!!! Should be a good day at the shop. I'll take lots of pics and post them here!!!

The two words for Tuesday are: Plasma and Miller...and of course many Thanks to Glock!!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Getting everything gathered up today and loaded into the truck! Should be ready to rock and roll first thing Tuesday morning :metal:

BTW Alex, my wife said she might just be interested in doing a few bikini shots with Lil Red! Her only stipulation..... wait 9 weeks. By then she will be done with the competition and should be camera ready!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Cool!!! What competition?

Re: Project OverKill
 

She is competing in a figure competition down your way in a little over 2 month. Hence the reason for the sparkly bikini! She is working out like a mad fool, and is already more cut then I will ever be!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Glock/Bob showed up today... she's a shortened frame now!!! Many Thanks to Bob!!! Some pics...more to come.

Re: Project OverKill

Quality work for sure.

Re: Project OverKill
 

congrats... wish he lived closer to me to lend some welding skills!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Whew, I'm tired!!!! Everything turned out great with the frame, and Alex was grinning like a little kid all day! Can't say that I blame him, having just finished a killer Lil Red, and jumping right into the next one.

Here are the pics of my inner fenders Alex sprayed, they turned out AWESOME!! No rock chips or dings in the inners! Alex, I also attached a picture of the drivers side of the firewall to show you what I left open. I actually did shave both of those behind the distributor.

Re: Project OverKill
 

Oh, and one of the kid and his new toy :metal:

Re: Project OverKill
 

Nice Job! Looks a whole lot easier without a body on there :lol: But I know it's still a lot of work! Those inners look good too.

Re: Project OverKill
 

I'm still grinning...great day!!! Super big thanks to Bob! Hey Frizz...what you have done with the "Tahoe" is truly amazing, Bob and I chatted about your project over lunch. Everything went well today and I learned a little about welding. And anyone considering a welder...this Miller 180 stepped right to the plate and performed flawlessly. I know it will weld anything to do with my hotrod projects.

Bob handed me with a box when he arrived...I took a look inside, very nice, a rear disc brake brake braket set-up...well worth the $85 dollars. Now do I put it on OverKill...or do I slap it on Lil' Red???

Alex

Re: Project OverKill
 

Alex...enjoyed seeing you and Bob yesterday....truck(s) are looking good....

Hearing Lil Red run was worth the drive over! :)

Re: Project OverKill
 

Thank you Larry!!! It was great you were able to stop by!!! Lil' Red sounds good, have to agree!

Re: Project OverKill
 

I bet that made your week! Got LIL RED going and your frame shortned going to be a hard week to beat!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

just for planning purposes what would it have cost a guy off the street to have those fenders coated? I would like to do one or both sides of my K-10. Looks great!

Re: Project OverKill
 

Yes CO K5...gonna be a hard week to beat!!! I am still grinning!!!

MSGROSS, I monitored chemical amounts when spraying Bob's inner fenders because I knew someone would ask. All four inner fenders took 150 strokes from my Graco EXP-1 Reactor...It breaks down to a dollar a stoke...so $150.00 is the least that I could do it for. You would have to double that for both sides. Have to say...it really came out looking good!!!

Re: Project OverKill
 

thanks... I might look into that then...
