89 Suburban is gone....added a K5 in it's place..87 V30 WONTON

[Desert_K5]

Finished up the front bumper for now. Next up is the rear bumper & tire carrier.

 

[Desert_K5]

Well there’s no turning back now. Removed the bent frame horns to get started on the rear bumper combo.

I see you haven’t washed off the 100mph dust show, haha

 

[Desert_K5]

It builds character.

 

[Desert_K5]

Cutting 3/8” mounts. Overkill on the thickness but easier to load than a full sheet of .25

 

[Fastereddie]

Done yet? Haha

 

[Desert_K5]

Done yet? Haha

Lol no. Side note: I did have a sales rep come in and drop off a bunch of flap discs, best ones yet. I'll bring one up.

 

[Desert_K5]

I forgot what company makes them, they're rebranded something or others, USA made.

 

[Desert_K5]

Bumper is roughed out and one end welded and blended in. Still need to make end caps. I’ll be putting some gussets on the end where the swing away pivots and locks. Raptor liner in black will coat both bumpers when complete.

 

[Desert_K5]

Bumper mounts burned in.

 

[Desert_K5]

Ready for final mounting holes

 

[Desert_K5]

Got the bumper base dialed in. I need to fabricate the uprights now then pull the assembly to do the finish welding and paint. That’ll be all for this weekend.

 

[Desert_K5]

Working on fitting the uprights for a spare tire and one of our fuel can mounts.

somebody bedazzled that radiator

Sema in a nutshell. Last time I went pro-form had a complete small block bedazzled. Everybody should go once. It's car insanity for sure and you'll walk 7-10 miles per day if you try to see everything.

Do you have a laser cutter? I just went to the NHRA drag race this weekend because I got free tickets from work. I also got tickets for SEMA from work, but I am so wore out from the NHRA drags I don't want to go.

 

[Desert_K5]

@1-ton Yes we have laser and plasma. Did someone say blinged out small block??
