Best DEAL ever *Update*

[4Motion4g63]

Some of you might have looked at my blog from about a Year ago On a 2004 Chevy Silverado Ext Cab that I had bought for UBER cheap at $1800 big ones total...
Just thought I might show you where it sits today...

I built a Full Custom back half replacing the Mess of a build I ended up finding....
Ive never welded, So I bought my own and learned.
Ive never Fabricated, So I learned
Ive Never built a bagged truck so tell me what you think of my NEWBIE bag build...

Ive done the complete buildup...I Even wired my own 7 switch box...


And If you are wondering I still have my Talon... Even when Someone Offered to trade it for a 72 Short wide Chevy With a Small block 400 and a built 454 to go with it...Right Now its waiting on ITS turn in the garage to pull the motor and REbuild... stupid half shaft bolt..

thats a bad A truck you have there sir.

 

[4Motion4g63]

thanks man... I have been busting my Knuckles for a year to get it there... But mostly because of money... Bag trucks are expensive especially when you want to DIY yourself and need to buy allot of $$$ tools, like welders...

 

[Rob10_99]

Takes a lot of stuff to get them to sit on the bumper nice job =)

You have the gas tank in the bed yet?
rear bagged check!

 

[woodnbronze24]

wow that thing is on the ground

 

[gstryyder]

throw up a few more pics and we could get a better idea of your work. maybe get some better responses and advice outta it. =) looks good but i would like to see the layout n design you have into it..

 

[pj91gsx]

i think it looks sweet without the truck bed

 

[mikEclipse99]

i remember this from a year ago haha nicely done

 

[Morpherex]

I think you need to raise that truck dere..

 

[agarc023]

Possible to get a picture from a year ago?

Looks great though

 

[dsmdeliveryboy]

Not too impressed, the fab work isn't too great. And this is coming from someone who built pre-runners(caging everything from front to back etc etc etc). You should have practiced on something before hand. Everything looks to clumpy. Not trying to be a dick, but you asked.

 

[jjrock5]

^ not trying but you sure are succeeding at it.

You got that for way too cheap.

 

[import2nr4g63]

u should of took that deal and put the 454&100 shot in the silverado with a tall tire and a glide..............in my opinion....the talon is nice

 

[4Motion4g63]

Hey talondeliveryboy, its all good man Im sure the best of them started off somewhere, I was told today my setup is miles better than the hack jobs around town that the exhaust guys work on, see you at the top since you are there already, but dont expect me to stop and chat on my way past you....

If there was anything that could get me to let go of my talon it is that body style Chevy Short wide.. I still am about the trade I am waffling

You can see the Full Build on my Cardomain.com

It just doesn't make sense to me to build a truck when you haven't had much experience, but hey it will be your safety issue not mine. Seen PLENTY of trucks fall apart from newb builders/welders. GL

 

[4Motion4g63]

Ok I just looked at your build thread on your evo... and I HOPE you havent been fabricating long, yourself...

Keep in mind I am SMAW welding, and a NOOBIE who never even touched a rod in my life...

damn wait till I start welding school in the spring and actually take some lessons ..

 

[tunethis]

Truck looks good man. I am no welder but, have been thinking about getting into it. I get tired of getting crazy high quotes for simple exhaust work.

 

[GTOJohnny67]

All the best projects start out as great steels. What better way to learn fabrication than a good project your not dumping boat loads of money into. I say keep up the good work. How are you supposed to learn it if you don't do it. If it breaks you'll learn from your mistakes and get better. I went to four years of automotive school, and my dad taught me how to weld way better than they did.

S#!T I just got into DSMs three years ago I better not change my own oil yet!

 

[GTOJohnny67]

OH and my favorite part of your build is the subwoofer jack stands.

 

[4Motion4g63]

Haha hell yea.. My jack stands are leftovers from work, something else that I knew nothing about when I started into doing my own car audio, now I am MECP Certified and One of the best around....

Thanks for the good words...

 

[4Motion4g63]

Just thought I would post up the most recent work I have done to the truck.....

My Exhaust

And A Little something custom....

Funny How I work In a Car Audio Shop and STILL dont have a single piece of car audio gear in the truck yet...

The Bed is a piece of shit but it works to cover the back half till i get another bed.. The original owner ruined it..
