I'm pretty sure its brewed in Colorado by Coors. Blame me for taking it off topic.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Moon_(beer)

If you're okay with it veering off topic than I'm fine with it.

Directly from the Wikipedia link. You have no idea how many people don't believe me when I tell them in is a Coors product.

MillerCoors does not actively advertise the fact that the brew is owned by MillerCoors, instead focusing on the Blue Moon Brewing Co.

I personally don't care for it because of how sweet it is, but we also have Boulevard Wheat up here, from Kansas City, and it is one of my favorite beers.

Blue Moon is delicious! How dare you call my favorite beer girly!

only on draft it sucks in anything else!


Back on topic, what do you guys think about running the ecm in the glove box? I'll run the wires through the grommet in the fire wall where the factory ESC stuff went.

 

[ktmoutfront]

That's where my factory unit was. Dry is important.

And Ben!!! You can not post in this thread again until you get something done. You won't get it finished typing all day.

Had to work all day unfortunately, by the time I got home at 5 didn't have much daylight to do anything. Tomorrow and Tuesday is a different story though, it's on.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Alright, sense I have somewhat of a update I can post again.

Started the day out by looking for parts, and found this wild pos..

Had no luck finding what I was after. How rare can a 14bolt be

Came home started ripping out stuff from the dash that will not be used anymore.

Took a look at the brake pedal assembly and figured I should paint this up some

Finished off the bottom half of the firewall with rattle can I had them mix up to match the colors.

From a distance shot.

That's it for today, not a lot but something.

When you feel less than motivated, trick is, pick something up an start messing with it. You don't have to go at it like the Terminator or something. Just start tinkerin'.

Very true.

There are a finite number of hours required to finish ANY project, so even chipping away an hour at a time is getting you closer to completion....

I need to keep that in mind sometimes. Not every trip to the shop needs to be a "hero event".... sometimes I can just do a little final welding on some sheetmetal, or some small patches that need to get installed.

That color blue is awesome. Good Choice.

This is very true, I could not tell you how many day I just did something small to mine. 30 minutes or and hour, just tried to do something every day,even if it was small. That is how I got through most of if. Now I kind of feel bad that I don't work on it much anymore, but it does run now.

Time to start on a crewcab with a D-max swap.............

I got a crew cab with a Dmax(07) its just not a square body one.

 

[Babaganoosh]

I started thinking today about a front bumper. I think I'm going to use the 82 front bumper with the turn signals and put these lights in it.

Would look something like this with the 91 grille, sorry for the crappy photoshop job.

I also have a push bar that I could incorporate 2 more of those for 3200 lumens.

 

[Chevy305]

Not a fan of the 81/82 grills or bumpers

 

[Babaganoosh]

I think it would be a clean way to incorporate some lights and have them hidden.

No officer I don't have bright led lights.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I saw that push bar. Needs to go where I told you a bunch of that other stuff needs to go.

 

[Babaganoosh]

You would be proud of me I tossed a few things already.


The push bar is a love hate relationship, I'm just glad it's easily removable.

 

[y5mgisi]

I always had the same idea about the lights in those bumpers! Then i deceded it didnt look right. But if you like it, who gives a hoot what anyone else thinks?!

 

[ktmoutfront]

It's your truck. Build it like you want. Everything else has been done. So doing something original is difficult.

Just don't put that push bar on it.

 

[max 02]

I like the grill you picked... just please keep it Chrome!
Everyone wants to paint them... I like Chrome!
That's all... carry on.

 

[Babaganoosh]

Oh it will be chrome and the grey plastic will be redone. I'm thinking about painting the bow tie the body color though.

So many ideas that need to be executed.
