    65’ Malibu SS/ Backroad thrasher.

    Slight update: I put tires on the car and managed to roll it onto the lift. I’ve stared at it for awhile now and have decided to pull the 388sbc out of my C10 and mate it up to a bench repaired TH350 I found, it was full of bees. I did some tricks on it to make it fully manually and shift a...

    65’ Malibu SS/ Backroad thrasher.

    Apologies Doctor, Meant “coil spring” and “control arm”. Didn’t mean to upset you. I mean it’s bent up back here. I’m actually looking at it as we speak on the shop lift. It’s straight enough to go down the road in my opinion.

    What’s going on here?

    Hey y’all, working on a transmission for a little build I’m doing. Pulled this TH350 out a truck bed trailer where it had sat for 30 years, still spins good and all the internals are great! While doing TLC I’m also doing what I call the “Racecar” modifications. Pulled the Governor off to do the...

    65’ Malibu SS/ Backroad thrasher.

    @someotherguy Agreed! That’s my lease on it. If I’m feeling it, I may even hook it to a tree and straighten the body out just a tad!

    65’ Malibu SS/ Backroad thrasher.

    Hey y’all, WARNING! Truthfully, I just enjoy either really upsetting the “purist” guys or ruining car-shows with my junk. If you Aren’t into the whole “Beater with a heater” or “grab another gear” type guy… you should just move along as I don’t care if it’s “valuable” or the “you are ruining...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    I liked the “detailed oriented” instead of OCD, I’ll be using that when someone asks why I’m chasing perfection with everything with the trucks. Thanks for your service though! I was recently on USAF active duty. I was a B-1B Crew Chief At Dyess AFB. The jets a beast, but honed my skills as a...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    I won’t lie, if you live near Texas Ave. I know we’ve waved at each other. I have SCSB Z71 same color as your truck, either we waved at each other or I rolled down the window and hollered at you! On Friday nights I’m gonna start hanging out with the C10/OBS guys at Sonic on 1st… I’ll see you...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    I greatly appreciate the praise, I definitely don’t consider myself a “professional” but learned a lot of it from father a young age. He was always polishing/waxing his Z71 and other toys he had. It’s funny that you say that, I said the same thing after seeing the photos. Looks like a promo...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    More photos as requested then! I’ll photo dump a bunch but it will take me awhile as I’m limited to like 5 at a time. Those wheels will hopefully be on my bench sooner than later and I’m going to do a full clean/polish on them so they will blind you in traffic haha. Agreed on the wheel wells...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    Next time I’m gonna be in Houston for a few days visiting family I’ll stop on by for a couple hours with the buffer! No seriously you’d be surprised how much you can wake up old clearcoat and paint. I’ve wet sanded old clearcoat then shot it with some professional stuff from an aerosol can then...

    90’ SS truck paint revival.

    Hey y’all, Just wanted to share some photos from today, this beauty appeared in my neighbors driveway. After talking for a bit and some convincing to let me try my magic on it before he painted it, this is what I got! BEFORE: AFTER: If anyone is interested I’ll post more photos...

    Texas Roll Call!

    You need to come to this truck meet we are planning next year boss!

    Texas Roll Call!

    Yes of course! Next year if we can get something organized this year far as when and where type stuff, a.k.a the “finer details”. I was thinking something late summer/mid-fall just so it’s cooler out for sure. I think for now, I know we can do the Chevrolet dealer in Marshall just because...

    Texas Roll Call!

    That’s all I need to hear, was worried about that. I’ve been in a few shows with other projects I have and been harassed or ignored because I’m not a “builder”. So right now I have at least 20+ interested. I think that’s enough to at least “hangout” together and eat tacos/drink beer haha...

    Texas Roll Call!

    Well! Who’s trying to go then? I guess just never paid attention to the “all GM full size truck” part, I’ll cruise out for sure next year. I’m still set on having a GMT400 meet though, even if it’s just me by myself haha.

    Texas Roll Call!

    Would you classify us with the c10 guys? I personally have like 3, but not sure if the GMT400 platform is like “equal”.

    Texas Roll Call!

    I remember talking about the swap meet in July! I’ll see what I’m up to that last weekend in October. Currently got three weddings to attend between September/October so I’m pretty “booked” up haha. I like the idea, right now it’s Maverick Chevrolet in Marshall for location. I’ll have to drive...
