Decided to go ahead & start shaving my tailgate today. All that i have left to do with it now is grind it smooth & body work it. Then i can hand it over to my painter to respray it......

today i got all the welds on the tailgate smoothed & so now its ready for some body work. the new parts to make it functional again should be in by the end of the week. i've gotta go to the dentist tomorrow for a few root canals so i doubt i will go by the shop & get some work done.....

Looking great Dan!!!!

Sorry that I couldn't meet up with you last week, I had to run up to Dallas for a meeting, and my SUV is back in the shop again... Gotta love Chrysler Aspens... My interior fuse short when it rains...., and the dealership has no idea why....

I have never been a fan of bagged vehicles, but even I'm excited for you. This looks like a huge project, and I can't wait to see the finished product!

How much more tube work are you guna do? Just random tubing to make things complicated to the eye while still adding support??

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Sat Aug 01, 2009 2:39 pm

Just got word that my truck will be getting featured in sport truck magazine just as soon as we finish it.

So that means will be adding more to the already heavy work load. I will be getting intouch with kicker so they can provide some decent door components. Going to be doing a littler fiberglassing to the doors. Then we will be building a center console as well.

We still have to do the bridge. This will also tie in the shocks. It won't be simple & it won't too much.

Thats guna be fuckin cool. il pick up the magazine forsure.

WEll dam foo more pics!!!

Looking good man. And I was surprised as hell to see that 1 ton Silverado a few months ago at Taco Bell. I'm not a huge fan of bagging a truck that low, but damn it looks good. I'd love to see your truck some time since we're on the same side of town (I'm right off Bay Area and Space Center).

Well the rear suspension is just about finished. Still need to get the bag mounts welded in. And we still have the bridge to build. Shocks will be fitted into the setup some how lol

wacko · Post by **wacko** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 12:21 pm

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:10 pm

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:14 pm

Sweet Dan. THere are soooo many bends there that my eyes are hurting. Its like a puzzle.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:19 pm

NeonOn19s · Post by **NeonOn19s** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:22 pm

well i like it..

sry i haven't called you.. i'm brushing off the dust on the neon and working on the turbo again.. I'm still intrested on doing the drop. it just might take some time to get the $$ to complete it. Wife gave the ok to finish the turbo, so it can be driven again.

LaidNeon · Post by **LaidNeon** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 11:26 pm
