techaninna Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 I haven't posted on here in awhile but I've started a new project, I will start a new build for the audio. Now I've always wanted to have a project truck that wasn't a daily driver so if I mess something up it's no big deal if it sits. I was looking for a obs chevy or gmc, after about 2 months of not finding what I was looking for then one day I was driving home and found exactly what I was looking for about 15 minutes from my house. I pulled over got the phone number went back an hour later after a little bit of negotiations I left with a black 94 Silverado ext 2wd pickup. I immediately started ordering parts and spending countless hours working on the truck. I've owned it for about 90 days now and progress will become slower from here on out because I don't have a garage and Indiana winters are cold. Anyways here is somewhat of a picture timeline, also keep in mind this is my first time ever welding and doing body work on a vehicle. Day I brought it home Here is one with my Avalanche in the background Interior First was handle relocate Then Rollpan Then replaced damaged fender and hood Then bed-sides I bought a new plastic GMC grill and cut the center out Scuffed it up with red scotch pads sprayed with bulldog paint adhesive I went to a pull apart and got two used good doors for 100 bucks and purchased the AVS door popper kit.

AdamTheAudioMan Posted October 8, 2011 Report Posted October 8, 2011 You've got some pretty good welding in my book. UNDER-CONSTRUCTION ''Old School Build'' maybe it sounds like an 18 cause theres 3 fucking "port" holes ghetto drilled in the "box" 190 db when your done? Yea that's the lowest decibal ill be satisfied with when I'm done like I said its stage one and I lost my job u guys should consider shit instead of just talk it lmao

techaninna Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Posted October 8, 2011 Well I lowered the back 4inches... My uncle owns a garage and was nice enough to let me use the lift and his torch, cut off tools, press, and air chisel. Begining UP UP UP... My cousin getting all the tools ready We ran into all sorts of issues, first we broke one of the u-bolts on the rear end right off the back. We had several obstacles, but six hours later we finished. I do plan on bagging it in April or May just wanted to see what was involved in lower it and I got a good deal on the lower control arms. Rebuild coming soon
