Thread: '08 Base in progress

Sick truck, put a cops bumper reinforcement on the front and start running over some cars...Lol jk.

Looks goood Broseph!

Dammit Man... I have a rolling chassis for an '82, and a cab from an '85 im trying to sell!! Was a full truck but the jackwagon I bought it off of left it sit in his field for a year and rotted the body all to hell. The bonus with these trucks is you can make whatever body you want on it by putting the year appropriate radiator support on it. IE you want an 82, mount an 82 core support to the frame. Doesnt matter the cab year.

HAHA, then makes it easier for you to put the bumper on and start pullin them idiot drivers over. And run over the drunk ones, lol

Just ordered the Plasti Dip for the wheels, and got measured for stripes. Looking like I am gonna have to buy a new head unit for it though (damn). It's $200 I didnt want to put out right now, but I am excited to get a new toy for it. Pics will be forthcoming!!

Nice GP.



I'll jump on the truck bandwagon, i effin love it!

Taken yesterday

So sexy!

Needs echo tips and tint. Still a fine ride though.

Ah my friend, Tint is coming as soon as I get the rear sliding window in (2 weeks maybe) and then the rollbar. PRIORITIES!

How many KC lights? At least 4 right?

my 94 Z71 had 4 KC's (real ones LOL) They are awesome and serve a purpose.

Yep, 4. The jerk off that had it before me messed the bar all up so I had to have it redone, holes welded, and so on. It is fresh off with a new coat of black powdercoat, and waiting on the lights!

welcome to the red grand prix base model club. looking good bud!

Why is there so many RED GPs, oh yes because they ran out of all the other wonderful colors like white.

I got tired of my silver Intrepid. Wanted something a bit more lively!

Well the problem was not the color, but the car. An Intrepid? Rather of got a Stratus, lol

Had a productive weekend - Pics whoring engage!!

Test fit

Clay Bar, and waxed





Pay no attention to the exhaust tip, I forgot to polish it - on the list. The stripes should be on this week (as long as the material comes in). I have decided though, she needs a name... I'm at a bit of a loss at this point.
