Chickens T-30k Cadillac Escalade is Back


Recommended Posts

Chicken called me up and said he wanted to get the Caddy rollin' again. About a year ago, he moved it to his grandpa's house to do some paving or something on his driveway...and out of sight, out of mind, it sat long enough to kill all the batteries, which made it hard to lift, which made it hard to move. With the Batteries @ 1/2 a volt. Yes, i said .5, it was just dead in the water.

So to keep the story rolling, About a few months ago, we were going to do this but he got sidetracked and i ended up building him a sick ass computer instead. (link here http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/156477-another-bitchslapping-gaming-pc-build-smd-style-video-page-13/ ) Now, he is ready to get back on this and make it good again.


So they dropped a basic battery from the autoparts store in, just to get it started. The back batts are so low, it has to be KILLING those alternators. It's ok, they are coming out and Mechman's are going in.

For those that don't know - if you want to see the build pics, and you have about 5 hours to spare, there are about 3 million of them in this link. Exaggerating of course but its a lot of pictures... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/10216-2002-caddy-8-fi-btl-18s-2-rockford-t15k-candy-paint-page-15/ People can talk all the shit they want about me but you can never say i am not a hard worker. Click that link and see for yourself. Compare what "they" did, to what i did...you thought the 72 was bad. This was almost as bad.

Barely got enough air in the bags to lift it up and roll it on to the flatbed...SMD HQ bound!

In case you didn't notice, i built my systems to LAST. ALL this shit still works. It just needs batteries (not my fault) and some work done to the air ride.... needs some new sway bars too. Everything looks pristine still and all fired right up. BUT, the system is sufferin' needen' some Bufferin' with them dead ass batteries in back.

Blue screen of death, typical windows XP - hey my choices were slim back then. Windows Vista just came out and that shit SUCKED too. This was way before Ipads were the rage, they weren't even out yet.

Poor pc, bsod. So what are you doing with it?

gotta finish the 72 first and then i can jump on the Caddy. He needed it to get over to the shop though, it was just rotting away in the spot it was in.
