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

[Rocket Man]

Filled it up this morning on the grocery run. No leaks so the gaskets I made must of worked.

Did a dry wash with Griots. I’m almost out of it so I opened the Amazon app, pointed the cam at the bar code and bam! Ordered. I love that option.

I have a bottle of Griot's Best of Show Spray Wax that a friend gave me to try but havent gotten around to it due to weather.

It’s starting to feel like spring here, sunny and 60 ish today. I’m starting to see buds on the trees, bulbs are sprouting. Can’t wait. We only got snow one time this winter and it wasn’t that much.

Might hit 70 degrees here tomorrow.

Been tossing around the idea of buying a boat again after I sell my bike. Something less dangerous than riding a bike on the streets but still fun. I used to have a jet boat with a 460 Ford with a 6-71 blower that I built the engine for, back in the 80’s. I have always wanted a v-drive though ever since that boat. Fast off the line and I like how they look with the engines mounted backwards. Just bad a** boats. This one just sold near me for $8500. They can be real expensive but I think I can find one I like for under $10k. I would just use it on occasion to go out when the water is flat and there aren’t a bunch of other boats. Which would be easy now that im retired. I want one with either a BBC or if I could maybe find one with no motor and see about doing an LS turbo build. @randeez ’s motor would be perfect in one.

Will this be before or after the LS-swapped-n-body-dropped C10?

Will this be before or after the LS-swapped-n-body-dropped C10?

Probably before since I already have one bagged truck. Might be an “instead of” but I guess first I need to sell that damn bike either way. Sigh.

Springtime is here, so a good time to sell a bike! I just sold a snowblower and was hoping I wouldn't have to store it over the summer. Win!
