'87 Suburban Build "munepit" I'm Back! Missed all you guys!

[kellyjohn]

I would love tube doors! Too cold during the winder though. Might have call Kert @ Diy4x and have him send me 4.

I kind of like the look without the doors.

It's going to rain next week so I paid $60.00 for this door. No discount for the 2bullet holes under the window. Just need to align and paint it.

Can you simulate matching body damage from a rattle can.??lol

 

[munepit]

Ha! No, but a hammer and a brick will help!

I will try a canyon wall too.

It really is not all that bad with the tube doors on as far as heat goes I drove to ID in January in 40 degree temp and lived.

Got a lot of thumbs up and stuff from people on the freeway

 

[munepit]

That's good to know. I will need a cage before going that route. With will be soon. With the money I usually get at Christmas( from my MIL), I going to get a bender. Then it's on!

Carried another door through the junk yard today. Damm they weigh a ton. All the more reason to ditch them.

I know a place in Big Bear we can go that will put custom matching dents all the way down both sides.

 

[munepit]

Sweet. One of these days, we need to get together and wheel! I've never been to Big Bear. Ever.

 

[K85 Octane]

oohhh want to do big bear so bad.....

 

[munepit]

Now I need to modify the fender so the door won't hit the fender when closing/opening. Pain in the ass.

 

[K85 Octane]

IT'S...........

TIME!!!!!!!

 

[kellyjohn]

Hahaha!!!

That is the best!!!!

A few "hammer"dents in the correct places and that fender could have stayed on.

 

[munepit]

I tried. I used a big bronze drift and BFH. I guess I need to grind it down some. And fix some wiring..

 

[Smokinthehippies]

Skip the drift. Just use a bigger hammer

 

[munepit]

****! I had this all typed out then something happened. I will do it again dammit.



Door is on and painted. Fender is cut, welded, painted and on. It's all good. Need a new windshield, but no biggie.





Got a chit ton of texts today telling me I'm in a magazine. Picked one up. Here it is.

It's about Bakersfield and racing and off road stuff. Country music and rodeo and hunting.

A picture.

Truck of the month. I guess I can wait a while to get in this feature.

I am on the page after the monster truck.

And after this is the drags.

And just for fun, the calendar!

 

[K85 Octane]

sweeeeeeeet, Jeff!

gotta rock and roll, minus the roll, at Gorman soon
need to work something out asap before one of us breaks sh1t

 

[munepit]

Ha! Every time I drive it I break something. I need to learn how to wheel without breaking something. But that's no fun. I like to tear chit up and make people say " Holy fock, did you se that" which is pretty much what happens every time I take it out. I don't know to go easy.

Just lengthen your throttle cable so when you smash that skinny pedal, it only gets half open. You still get to put it to the floor, yet less breakage.... Problem solved

 

[munepit]

I have been thinking about N02. I want more power. There is a bunch of used kits on CL here right now. It would probably be a dumb move though. But, then again, im not that bright.





I like breakin $hit!

 

[63chevyll]

That's awesome.. it was cool. My phone takes so long to load, I saw the dirt modified, and first thought, hmm, I didnt know you raced dirt.....then way the pics.

Congrats on making the mag and Calendar

 

[kellyjohn]

Very cool!!

Congrats Jeff!
Calendar and a magazine shot!!!!
Wow that's really awsome!

NO2 ??? You have already spent time on your side, (great pic) more power and you could end up on your lid.

 

[munepit]

Thanks bud. I wish I was racing late models. I used to race go carts. I was good too. My father said college or racing. I should have said racing. I have been on pit crews for a few teams in 410 sprints and KOH racing. That's all though. But racing is in my blood.

Thanks again!
