Thank you! It's nice to have so many people from MO on this board.

Not much of an update but the frame is painted and I began installing the rear dropmember. I'm so anal that I make sure all of the letters stamped into the washers face down so you can't see them

I will update with a pic shortly. For some reason my phone won't let me upload today.

Lookin' good. What did you use to prep/paint the frame after sand blasting?

wayno · 06-10-2013, 11:38 AM

The medical term for that is OCD lol. Looks like you are off to a great start.

My initial thought was to powder coat it satin black, but since I plan on driving it a lot I wanted something that I could touch up when needed. I chose VHT chassis and roll bar paint. It is affordable and available at local stores. The reviews seem to be good so we shall see.

Not many know but I used to be into BMWs too. I had a pretty fast little e90 chassis 335 once upon a time.

335's are awesome. Its hard to beat twin turbos.its amazing the hp and torque you can add on those things with a tune. I really want an e90 M3 but I'm going to give it a few years. They are starting to get very affordable. Have you ever driven an e39 M5? Those things are pretty bada$$ too. Not to spill the beans but I plan to incorporate BMW colors into my build

Nice! Looks like yours was a 95 as well. Those cars are so much fun to drive. Do you have a build thread for your truck? I'll have to check it out

Thanks. Yeah, 95 M3. Intake, catback, sport springs, camber plates, shifter etc. I loved driving the car but I look forward to the extra torque of a V8

Build thread link is in my signature.

69short · 07-19-2013, 02:40 AM

Well I just accepted a job offer and wont be working on the truck much until after training is over. The training period is 7 months and will require me to be away from home the majority of the time, and the little I will be home will be spent with my fiance and daughter. But the increase in pay should speed up my build once the training is over. Stay tuned

Bennett68C10 · 07-19-2013, 06:27 AM

Nice to hear, congrats on the new job
