damn the Roc Shop is on point. i think i'll have to slide by for a oil change

Aw fam! Swang thru! I got you covered. Just picked up a baaad *ss 3.5 ton floor jack. Lifts 22" high in 7 pumps.

I also picked up a Craftsman ball bearing top box. Gonna have all the homies that swang thru the shop sign it..

damn bro i get shocked every time i swing by. realtalk i take a couple trips here and there when i can and do my research so i can swing but the cool spots on my way to my finial destination. well in this case my next socal trip isnt to far away and stopping by is now a must. I'll have to leave a nice piece of graffiti on your box too, what you like to drink? beer, liquor, wine, water???

x2 on what mel said, your setup is about to be on BEAST mode once you add the new piping.

Damn, i'm glad to see someone else is where i am with my car, or was anyways.

Great job dude, really. Your car is ****ing sickk.

I'm almost done building the motor for mine, Most of it's high gloss powdercoat black, i'm blacking my 88 Monte SS out.

Thanks bruh!!! Did you start a build thread? I'll search your name to check it out. Sounds really clean 8)

Gaahd DAMN!!!!! Your Roc Shop is even nicer than I thought. You've been workin' bruh and it shows. Well done. I'm no longer joking about moving next door lol. You might think I'm still joking but really, I'm not!

The Monte is lookin' sick as usual. I wish I could present my work as nicely as you do! Lots of nice detail. I hear you about shops ****ing up your sh*t and not taking responsiblity. That's the whole point -- we try to get away from having ANYONE else touch your car but you. That's the whole beauty of your whole setup... and I gotta say, well done bro!

P.S. when you present your shyt like this, it's appreciated by so many people including me! Keep up the good work!

WOW!! Thanks for that bruh. You guys keep me motivated to learn this stuff and keep moving forward. Its a bumpy road, and Ive messed alot of parts up, but its all for learning ya dig? Thanks again bruh. Man I wanna go turn some wrenches now. LOLOL!

Aw man! Thanks for the comment! I still gotta pain it and do the epoxy flooring stuff, but its coming together. I figurerd I get it functional if Im gonna be doin all the work now. I nedd a few more tools and stuff and then I can do a great majority of the work right in the shop area. Thanks again for checkin it out and the comment.

That engine is a piece of beauty!! Awesome!! Hang in there, it's looking great!

It was scary at first with this lil SS. The old shop had effed up so much stuff on the wiring. Pretty scary, But I have nothin but time now. Just dissconnect the battery, label everything and get to cleaning it up. Thanks for the encouragenet and for checking the pics/vids out.

Looking good as always bruh! can't wait to see the air cleaner setup complete. keep up the good work!

Thanks bruh! I still gotta get some other piping and couplers to finish it off, but Im gettin there. Should look pretty crazy once done...Thanks for checkin back..


@ Deezy...Oh yeah bruh! You gotta swing by, I gotta fresh marker waiting. Imma try to get things crackin in the shop and get it as "functional" as possible. Gettin some shop lights today. Found a sweet deal on C-list. I got some new updates on the whip too.

Started on this project a while back, but never got a round to finishing it up(apt living sucked for getting work done on the ride) Gauge cluster project. I had filled in the groove where the pinstripe goes and cut some holes for hauges. I also had smoothed the center section. I want the top pinstripe and then have the bottom pinstrip follow the lines around the steering column. It will make the smoothed "T" section pop out. I also picked up another Audio Control Bass knob and mounted it in the passenger side mirror spot. I have power mirrors on a caprice switch that controls both mirrors, and that hole neede to be taken care of. Here's a few pics..

Made a swall template and made a cutout from an old cd, used some tape to hold it in place and layed some plastic epoxy over it

Backside

Layed some more epoxy and tape down on the backside for extra strength. Marked and drilled the holes to mount the knob

Placed the sticker on just to see how it would look. Came out decent.

Started running some wire to power it. This was done just for the pics...Also Ive had these gauges for 5 years wrapped up in boxes. Did know if they would even work. All the gauges have been moved from place to place. This was my first time seeing them lit up

Radio flip project almost done

With the shop almost finished up, I can finally finish up all these lil projects I started waaaay back. Ive been getting all the wiring, splicers and other lil tools together to complete all the jobs. I cleaned up all the exposed wiring the old shop effed up also. Still looks like a rats nest, but at least its safe now. No frayed wires all over the place. I'll run everything really clean when I swap dashes. Thanks again for the input fellas. Keeps me goin strong! My girl is headed out to do some shoppin with her Aunt. That means I get to play in the shop ALL DAY LONG! LOL

Isee you gettin back @ it, lookin good my dude 8) .

Thanks for shootin back thru bruh! Yep. Trying to catch up with you! Been workin a lil bit on the old guy now that all the house stuff and movin has settled down. I need some lighting. Picking up a few "pull chain" flourecent setups today. Then I can finish a few things up. I also started guttin the interior again. That rewire job I had that old shop do has turned into my worse nighmare. Bad job. But its fun cleaning it up. Learning a ton.
