well, i did'nt get as much done as i wanted before showfest, but it's in one color, and it's not red!!!! Just gotta prime the door jambs and put interior back in it, then i'm going to cruise it like that for a while while i pay off credit cards and make the wifey happy, but here's some pics from showfest (and right after).





rolling home...









at home:







and just in case you're wondering, Bob Grant does excellent work, this is the only burb roll pan i've ever seen like this and I LOVE IT!!



and here's a slow roll video...

and before you say anything, i know the tailgate looks like hammered dog ass, i have a new one but we did'nt have a chance to put it on, we got the last piece primed at 2am friday night, loaded it up, took a shower, and rolled into Tunica at 8am, lol. it will look better soon, i promise :D

Good for you jumbo I have watched your story from the beginning. I don't post to much but wanted to let you know it's good to see you are getting what you have worked so hard for don't give up and keep it going

im glad to see that you didnt trade it and that you did not sell it. i have been coming to this thread every day to see the progress. lol looks good man and i look forward to seeing everything that you do to it.

Saw it at showfest. Looked great. I was actually excited to see it after following this thread. Coming along great

thanks, guys. yall really have no idea how many times i've been so close to trading it or selling it outright. But i'm so close to being done and actually getting to drive it, that i have a feeling that i'll be working on this damn thing forever, lol.

not much to update, fixing a leaking hardline, finally got the switch box fixed, finally got the power steering pump to stop pouring fluid (after having a $44 hose built, found out it was a split o ring, lol). But i'm 90% sure i have it traded if the dude will text me back....

New pics and video look killer! Makes me want to get a square body 'burban for myself! Whatever you do don't trade it, you might be happy for a minute but you'll definately regret it in the long run. Finish that b*tch. :DRAG:

well, i will. The dude just kept ignoring me, all i wanted was a yes or no answer, he just kept ignoring me. So i went all 7th grade girl on his ass and had a couple of my buddies text him just to see if he'd answer, both of them got returns within 2 minutes. So fuck him, i figure the best way to get over it is just keep making mine badass. Just talked to the guy that owes me some money, he's already bought a late model aluminum 5.3 turbo for the Fat Kid :D


work resumes tonight......
