Pick this bad boy up today. A customer of ours gave it to me today. Nothing wrong with it mechanically, just got somebody rot. Thing runs great, 302/C6 combo with new exhaust from the heads back. Plans are cut the fenders, weld the rearend, throw some 35" hawgs on it I got laying around and abuse it till it doesn't move anymore. :icon_hornsup:

The trick is, don't poke your finger into a paint bubble to test it unless your tetanus series is up to date.

Hehe i have conteplated getting out of the hobby becaue of rust may times. In Michigan if the vehicles is over 5 years old you need a few extra tools to work on a car, torch(mapp gas or hotter), pb blaster, bfh, breaker bar, tool for stripped nuts and bolts, but off wheel, drill, ez outs. Its fun a 30 minute job can turn into a 2+ day job really quickly.

Took it out wheelin yesterday and hydrolocked it, "it doesnt look that deep" I told my buddy as I stood on the gas. Damn near made it too.





An hour and a half later I was able to drive it out of the situation just barely. Then I proceeded to hook the Yakima rack with a tree and rip it off the roof tearing open a BIG rust hole. Then broke the passenger side mirror on another tree that also took off some of the "beauty" trim. So far I say it's working out pretty well. :D
