HACK JOB!!!! the body work is absolutely ridiculous I cant believe the damn thing got featured im so pissed every damn filler plate is going to have to be re done the shave work is so bad i cant believe some one is that stupid ok so to quit beating around the bush i was workin on the truck and i saw a crack on one of the caddies so i took the grinder and was going to grind it down so i could re fill it easy and simple right ? well hell no i started grinding and did not find any welds the caddy bucket was tacked in on the top and bottom twice thats it!!! the rest was held in with body filler god i hate fixing every moron that has worked on this truck the filler was almost a 1/4 inch thick so i now have caddy buckets and tails for sale they are fine iv never been able to re sell fillers after they have been used....
i thought about that but i done welded one of them up and put the gas cap and line goin where the caddy was but iv come up with a killer idea im going to put HHR tails in and french them in...
NO WELDS!!!!! its a 1/4 in away from the metal and it was all filled in with filler!!! WTF!!!!!! Your not supposed to be able to re use fillers after you have already put them in ! im glad the guy that did the body work didnt do the frame and body drop ! id take 100 for tail lights buckets and wiring harness
i thought about doing that with the old caddys but see its already been done and i think HHR tails are kinda retro anyways it may work out
The HHR tails should look killer & original. A Yota at the show this past weekend had teardrop tails.
im really wanting too im trying to find something that will be different original and still look good but i havnt seen anyone with those tails and it may work out im hoping it does but you all will like my gas nozzle its clean!
always sucks to fix somebody else's stupidity or in this case lack of knowledge, or just plain laziness, I like the HHR style lights, (everyone and there brother uses caddilac parts on there custom ride cars, trucks, motorcycle etc.) You've done alot to this truck above and beyond the work done when you got, and as a matter of fact you've had to re-do most of that,. Can't wait to see you take this truck to the next level.
im kinda keen to gm parts mainly because my best friend is body shop manager and he can sometimes score some free bees and discounts on parts i thought about putting some 2004 silverado tails in there but they are a little to big i also tried the new body style tails and they are HUGE i swear they take up the whole back of the truck but yea this truck has been hacked atleast the shave work is hack job the frame and body drop are professional i told nate the other night i wish i had bought a stocker that way i wouldnt be having to re shave everything i have a feeling im going to need a new cowl because mine is shaved and im afraid of what it looks like so when i figure that one out anyone got a extra they would sell??????
lol it aint coming out of the garage unless its done right that is what i was told when i pulled it in there
