[68GMCCustom]

lookin good!

[noonzor]

it sits pretty damn close on that firewall. gonna be lots of firewall/floor trimmin!

waiting to get the cab blasted before i do any cutting. just waiting for the guy doing the blast/primer job on the cab to get back to me, shops a little backed up right now i guess. i dont mind waiting when the job costs a case of beer!! haha

[68GMCCustom]

It does look pretty close to the firewall. But then again with enough power on tap... the more weight moved toward the rear...the better.

[noonzor]

for sure, ive been hearin for weight transfer to set the engine back a bit. from what i can tell thats what the dropmember has done! cpl pieces from the dropmember kit that i have NO IDEA what they are for haha, ill put some pics of them up in a bit. gotta get ready n go to work for now tho.

[noonzor]

wow, a month since i updated. well here goes nothing.......... seriously, nothing.



haha, being broke is awesome eh?

[DCoffey]

Hows the build going? All my drop member stuff showed up this week. Nate accidentally sent me an extra pair of hood hinges. He said it would be more of a hassle to send them all the way back to Arizona than they are worth. Told me to keep them for the next project, or give them to somebody that is building a similar project. Interested?

[noonzor]

Heck Yeah I Am!! haha thanks man thatd be awesome. yeah the builds been at a stand still lately, just bought a house and im working on getting the basement suite renovated so i can move in some supplementary mortgage payments haha.

the new garage is is effin sweet too, 26' x 28' with 8ft ceiling. got a guy coming tomorow to run the wiring and a guy next week to run the gasline for the furnace, then we'll start moving the projects, tools, etc in and get the work back going.

[DCoffey]

Send me your address in a PM and I will throw them on the bus for you. Then you will have to get ahold of Nate and thank him for the hinges. Figured since you already supported Nate and got the dropmember you might as well get some hinges to match. Than show some bro love for man who built these awesome pieces. All my stuff looks so good was seriously thinking of just clear powder coating this stuff.

[noonzor]

well we've got everything moved into the new garage, room to spare!!! its an absolute unorganized mess right now (ill get some pics up) but once everythings put away in its place we'll be back in working order! (god i hate moving)

heading off to vegas next week for a mans vacation (nhra nationals and sema) so we'll see how much money i come back with, if any haha.

thats all i got for now.

[noonzor]

uh oh... just got a line of credit extension, might be time to irresponsibly buy myself some christmas presents hahaha.

[noonzor]

figured id share this, its my new favorite picture/desktop from sema this year, myself and Jessi!! also met Dennis Anderson!! two super nice people!!

[68GMCCustom]

Jessie is certainly a catch! A hot chick that can fix your truck for you... or build you a new one!

[noonzor]

man, its been 6months since i worked on my truck.... think im going through withdrawls.

[67chevy1series]
