Scramble's "Metallica Truck" Build Thread

[Scramble]

You've got that nice new garage. No excuses.

LOL, It's a shit hole inside. I've got rodent poison down now. :becky: There's a few dumpsters worth of junk in there that need to be gone. I have a guy for that, my neighbor John. He has a Landscaping business, free clean out, & he gets to keep his A4 convertible in there for the winter. He's been plowing my driveway when it snows for 10 years now for free, so it's only fair that I let him store his convertible in there for free.
My GF is in construction & we're trying to get her old boss to renovate it for around $15,000. That's raising the rafters for the lift, fixing the roof in the back, concrete floor, all new windows, insulation, sheetrock. I have a buddy to do the electric. I cant do the truck & garage at the same time, I'm too old & my back will hate me!

All is looking good, really can't wait to see those sliders installed. Ordered some on their tax return sale and I'm so eager for them to come in. Get them on so I can drool!

Fair enough. Everything will happen in due time, I'm just messing with ya. Those BAMF sliders are gonna be sexy like everyone else keeps saying, those are some of my favorite. The kickout is like art.

I know, this site needs more ball busting! :bravo: Aren't they! Only $400 & change with shipping after discount. No extra charge to change the angle so my midget GF can use them as steps. :lmao:

Thanks Matt! Good choice you'll love them!

I thought it was cancelled? My FB invite page was cancelled so I figured it was a no go. Is it still on?

Nice read. Keep the updates coming!! I need my "Original Owners" fix every few days.
:becky:

 

[kolelt]

Hmmm you are right. The page does not exist anymore. Interesting. Lucky for me it's 20 min drive to see if it's open. Sorry man

 

[Scramble]

Edit: I updated & added pics the previous carpet install a few posts back. I also updated the first page with some mods that I did last year.

I will Bro, I'm on a roll! LOL I bet you & me will be the last OG owners left on here...well and the [MENTION=10169]TheDurk[/MENTION] since he has a refurbished frame.

Oh well, it looked liked fun. We'll do some wheelin' after I get my new axle on.

I'm thinking I might get some. They say the 50% off sale will end in 3 days, do you believe that or is it sales pressure technique?

Click that 50% off link. It's brings up a pop up for the NEW YEARS/HOLIDAY sale. I bet that sales not ending in three days. lol

Haha, that's the same sale they had when I bought the cargo area rug in December. They need money buy it!

This has become one of my favorite builds on the forum. Definitely love seeing the progress whenever there is an update. Keep it up buddy!

Thanks man, it's the slow time of year at work so I'm trying to get this thing up to date. I really appreciate the kind words!

I have hundreds of photos to go through & don't want to upload all of them to Photobucket. I have an old Canon Sure Shot 410 that I use for the truck. It's from 2005 so I don't mind handling it with dirty hands.

Yeah I'd love to take a ride to NY.

Haha, there's no wheelin' in NY, I'm coming to you! LOL I've never been to the Pine Barrens. There's Stokes St. Forest in North Jersey but it's not challenging at all. It's nice though to pack a lunch, bring the GF & dogs for an afternoon.

Switch to Flickr like I did. It's soooo much nicer for uploading photos and organization. Photbucket always ran super slow on my computer, but flickr runs fine.

Yea, I know there's other services like imgur too but I'd hate to have to re-link everything. I have a new 26" I-Mac here at work & it's not bad at all with less pop-ups. My home PC I built last year & the site isn't slow but the pop-ups are non stop! LOL. Maybe I'll just start new post's with a different photo host.

That's what I did. Everything from the last month or two is through Flickr, everything before is still through photobucket. I HATE their emails too. I don't know how many times I've unsubscribed from them but they still email me...
