Re: Sandy Syclone project

Ill be honest i was pretty concerned with the water damage at first. But we oil undercoated the whole truck. And the amount of rust hasnt changed in the whole time its been sitting. Thr truck is actually relatively clean. For northeast standards at least.

I completle agree that it doesnt bad, but replacing the rivets would have cost u About 2-3 hours witch alot nasty words and motivation, just something i would not forgive myselve if it starts rusting there because of build up salt.
U prolly will be fine.

Well the truck has now survived a flood and a fire! The body shop had a fire today. But they said it wasnt near truck and they put it out quickly! Lol

Re: Sandy Syclone project

A little more progress. Im not really happy with the frame paint...i bought satin but it seems awfully shiny.

Re: Sandy Syclone project

I gave up on the paint. It looked like crap. I sent frame out and had it powder coated

Looks great!

Brakes look great.
What brake kit did you install on it? Size rotors?

Re: Sandy Syclone project

Thanks guys. I got the brakes from a place called brakeoverstock.com I just ordered them for a 2000 camaro. They came with rotors/calipers/pads. I think they were about $240 for fronts and the same for the rears. Then i got renz kit to make them all work. I cant remember the rotor size. Ill check for you. They fit under the stock wheel. Thats what i was going for. I am not going to run stockers, but just figured if i ever decide to sell it would be a bonus for most buyers.

Have been making decent progress. Actually getting to the point where we might try to fire it up for the first time this coming Friday
