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

[kbuskill]

Indeed. And I enjoy doing all the small things that will pull this truck together and finish it off. It looked unfinished when I first saw it, and my first thought was he either ran out of money, time or both. Plus I don't think he was much good at working on vehicles. I mean, he still had a stock stereo in it with his phone plugged into it with an aux cable (which he took with him and after I took off out of SF I realized the radio had little to no reception and I couldn't hook up my phone for Pandora). I was talking to him about what I'd done to my Denali and he said I sounded "pretty handy" lol.


I love that idea. Those have chrome trim though and say they fit 3/4" holes; those holes are 1 1/8". I will be putting a backup cam in though and haven't decided where to mount it so one of those holes might be spoken for.

The lights require a 3/4" hole without the bezel, but with the chrome or black rubber bezel they are bigger, obviously.

Today a new Spectre air filter arrived and ...,,aaaaaahhhhhh it has a chrome housing which I didn’t notice when I ordered it, so back it goes. Amazon let me exchange it for a different one, black housing and red filter. I measured and decided a longer one will fit also.

Another fun but useful project would be to build an enclosure for that filter with a fresh air duct to it. It'd be easy because, well, you're just a "handy" kinda guy.

I have the hinge cover pieces for the cowl on order since they're trashed and decided to pull the rest of the cowl off and paint it as well as the wipers. That will finish the cowl/ exterior hood area. I'm trying to decide if I want to install a wiper washer reservoir/pump somewhere behind the grill since that's one of the items they deleted. Not sure yet.

Waiting on you to powder coat the wheels black lol jk
Actually the billet grille inserts would look better if you painted or pc those black.

Congrats broski. Very sexy truck. Love the red, much better than white.

Curious on headlights and tails. They just came out with some sick looking lights for the nnbs silvy

Also today I decided to clean up the outer portion of the wheels. The part behind the spokes will have to wait.

Wonder who designed or named those wheels ?....
