I'm working on this project right now. If the cost isn't outrageous, I'll do it. Otherwise I'll put some or all of it on hold and save for the mechanical stuff I want. (New exhaust,intake,lift etc) Long story short. I took my obsession with Darth Vader and fused it into a name for my truck...

Thanks I appreciate that. :cheers:

Let's start with :eek: then :drool:. That is BAD ASS!! :thumbs: I'm going with 1/4 " aluminum (probably). Going to paint or powder coat so not really thinking S/S. Thanks for the tip on the thin areas. I was hoping w/ 1/4 " that wouldn't be a prob.:dunno: Better fore warned then to pay the $...

Thanks Jim, I'll keep that in mind. :cheers: I should be set because the deposed king of Nigeria (maybe he knows your uncle?) needs help getting his family fortune out of the country. :thumbs: :lol:

I know, I'm stoked. :wookie: Like it's been said a thousand times " The only restrictions are imagination and $." I'm lacking a little in the latter.:( LOL

Ok so part of my project delay is the skid plate template. The 4 constants in my project are the sizes for the fair lead cover and the 2 metal templates for painting or whatever. The skid plate width is a fixed 31 3/8 ". When starting on the length, I hit the snag. The plastic valance is in...

There is at least one. I went with the closest first that could do water jetting. I'm not sure which way will be cheaper. Dealing with the 2 (one being a "mom and pop") might be a little longer and a slight PITA but, as you know sometimes they are easier to work with and cheaper. With my...

Well small delay. :( The shop ONLY water jets. He might have a scrap of stainless for the fair lead cover piece. He needs the design in DXF for Cad (Cheaper on my pocket book). Once I send it to him he'll tell me how many hours and cost per to do the pieces. So the other fab shop will have to...

That's what I'm afraid of. :ohnoes: We'll see. Maybe I can B.S. with the guy enough he'll cut (pun intended lol) me a break. :thumbs:

Thanks Nick. :drinking: and good to know. :D

Thanks Carney!!:cheers: I Goggled for a local water jet cutting company and WALLAH there is a shop about 5 mins from my house and much closer than the other and based on just the attached picture from their website, yeah the mask will be a cake walk for them. :thumbs: Going there tomorrow to...

Yeah it gets hot as balls here in Florida too but, for now it's only a daily driver. I probably will go with something like a Tru-Cool MAX and then possibly looking into adding the little one you have. I mean for the price and the added "extra" it couldn't hurt.:D For starters I need to...

Thanks Matt. Yeah I'm not sure exactly what all will be involved with the shop doing this or not. My friend owns a diesel repair shop and has connections around town for fabbing stuff up. He's working on a few smaller projects to complete my brush gaurd how I want it. When I told him about this...

Thanks Gary. That makes sense. I like the trans cooler idea. Forgot I needed to plan on one down the road 'til you mentioned it. :uhoh: I'm adding twin electric fans and eventually hood vents. (Need to save for a new hood with reverse cowl scoop or front scoop first). :crybaby: Making up a...

I am having a custom skid plate made (provided the fab shop can laser cut some letters and a logo I want). Also since they will prob have to run a cad program to put my design in. I'm scared the cost will be more then I want/need to spend now. :crybaby: I have seen skid plates with holes or...

Thanks Jim. I'll keep that in mind for future reference. :cheers:

Thanks guys. I use Rock Auto normally too. As I said I have a friend who works at a GM Parts warehouse who is getting me a HUGE discount. So I needed the parts #s to give him. I have used Rock Auto for numbers before. In this case the Denso and AC Delco #s were wrong or GM changed their...

It's been a while since I've been on here been busy. Hope everyone is doing ok. My question is where do you go for ACTUAL GM Parts numbers? The web sites I have found and even the dealer will give you a simple number. Such as "9" for my AC compressor assembly. I have someone that works...

Until someone chimes in that knows more then me, I'd say most O2 exhaust bungs are the same size. There is no mention of brands on the website.:dunno: If you mean as far as space wise, I'll try to get a measurement of the CEL fixes and a couple of pics of my exhaust,but the strait ones are...

On my way home from work this morn. (I would estimate approximately 25 miles of drive time) the CEL came on.:( It does say not meant to "fix" faulty O2s. As in the pic you can see they are pretty shitty with a lot of sooty carbon crap. I cleaned them (as I said) ,but they are still probably...

Ya,ya,ya:quote:off road:quote: :naughty: I thought I REALLY fwonked up. It ran like SHIT. I couldn't get it to idle to save my life.:ohnoes: I FINALLY got it to go around the block several times power braking at stops and then it idled fine.:thumbs: I didn't remember resetting the ECM...

A word to the wise: If you have ANY fwonkin' thoughts that you might have a tight fit between O2 and frame BUY ONE FWONKIN' ANGLE!!!!:fume: I ordered the 2 strait and went to install last night. Driver's side no prob.:thumbs: Passenger side was VERY tight. So I took the adapter off the O2...

:withstupid: (s) :lol:

I won't lie my eyes welled up. Awesome story. A love for a father from his sons and something they did to remember their youth and showing their love.:thumbs: :chevy: DOES run deep.

Ya buddy. :cheers: It just kinda kills me seeings how I'm trying not to spend $ on this suspension and save for an SAS, but who knows how long and how much $$ it's gonna cost me soooo.
