Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

So I tried flashing the BCM with the updated file but I forgot it needs to be licensed to the Autocal so I emailed it to Blackbear. Who knows how long that will take. Hey Shannon @BlackBearPerf can you look into this? It should only take Justin a minute to do that. Also, I have been thinking about the headlights ever since the last time I built them. The lower (high beams) bowls have bothered me ever since. They’re chrome for one, in order to reflect, and we all know how I feel about chrome. So I priced Morimoto mini H1’s, with the same demon eyes and etching on the lenses like the others and even with TRS’s 20% off Black Friday sale it was over $400 in parts. No thanks. So I ordered Acme projectors and ballasts and HD relays with no demon eyes or etching. I might order the demon eyes later, haven’t decided. It just gets to be a lot of wiring so IDK, might just have the upper set with them. Anyway it was $140 this way and I’ll still have quad projectors and zero chrome. I don’t really need more light but it won’t hurt, right?

I wish I could help but the BCM thing that you did with the AutoCal is a very unique situation that Justin helped you with. I am not sure all that was involved, but emailing Justin is the only way to get assistance on this, and of course he has to do it all in the order received.

Ok I sent the file in the email to him so now it’s just a waiting game. Luckily I’m in no hurry. Thanks for getting back to me so fast.

My order from TRS came today. That project is on the back burner. My garage retrofit is in process instead.

Looks great, Mark! What do you plan to use for the sliding door handles?

That works! We used to use small finger grips when we needed something nicer, but they can't be thicker than the door material or they'd scratch the other doors.

I used those on the overhead bypass doors but for these I wanted something that I can pull better with in case they don’t slide super easy since they don’t have wheels. Plus I’m not sure if I can find any 1/4” deep. The bypass doors are 3/4” thick around the edges.

X2! Very nice!

Thanks guys. There’s more pics in my other build thread but here’s a couple glamor shots. I reordered different under cabinet lights, these aren’t bright enough for me. I also got my BCM tune file back from @BlackBearPerf so I’ll be installing that in the next day or three.
