Copper&Black's Complete Custom Build Thread

[ecordell]

pretty nice job on that site Copper, when did you become a web designer lol

 

[deaker]

Very impressed with everything you have your hands in!

You're in a special league.

Business got crazy for awhile. I just got our website up and running last week, for the conference that just finished up this week. I'll in LA now and will be back in Miami tomorrow, so I'm hoping to get the crank and maybe the pistons in by the end of the weekend.

For anyone who is interested in seeing the site...

you've got some good skillz brotha!

 

[Copper&Black]

Thanks guys! The site still needs a lot of edits, to the list , pictures, and other items that are not up yet. But all in all it came out really nice, and easily edited.

E,
We used a big web design company b/c our list is so long and needed it done quickly. I just designed the layout, and supplied the info and the images. They wrote it all in. I didn't mean to imply I wrote the codes or anything.

 

[ecordell]

lol no it's cool. You did some of the hard part yourself man, nice work. The pics and all that look very good too.

[05Yukon23]

Nice setup!! I wish I had the funds and shop to do this kind of stuff!

 

[jdpber]

^ any updates Copper?

 

[chevy_man]

I just spend 2 hours looking through this. Damn nice build!

You want to start on my 03? It's got more damn rust starting than my 88 so I think it needs a frame off resto, and you're just the guy for the job! Think of how much dynamat you could put in with the body in a jig!

 

[Copper&Black]

Thanks Guys, Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I've been grinding ******* other things and the truck had to take a little step back. Business got crazy, along with some home renovations left me with no time. But things are dyeing down a little so I'm getting back to the truck.

I pulled her out today for a wash and snapped a couple pictures in front of the new building. Ultimately all my truck/car tooling will be located at the building in the picture but for the time being I had to drive it back to the machine shop for the compressor, tools etc. to finish her up.
Here is my motorcycle trailer that will be getting painted. The top clamshells up to load the bikes, so the top shell of course will be copper, and the bottom color is still up for debate…..haha

Nice

Great, something else to follow on the internet...

I, like so many others, just read this thread in its entirety. What an awesome..no..AMAZING job. I don't know much 0about the copper color choice, though. If it were up to me, I'd go with ORANGE and black

I really envy your skills. I love doing custom stuff, but I can only dream about doing it on the level that you've achieved. I'll never have time to pull something like that off, so I'll live vicariously through this thread.

Can't wait to see more progress.

 

[Copper&Black]

Thanks!
Well..... It's truck related, since I will be using it for everything done to the truck from here on out.

Got myself a nice Matco Box! Always dreamed of having a box this nice. I start working on the motorcycle trailer tomorrow and when the time comes to shoot copper on the top of the trailer the tool cart sheet metal is getting painted.
Hey it needs a paint job...might as well go along with the theme I've got going.

 

[07Burb]

wow...nice tool box!!!!

 

[jdpber]

looks like someone just dumped about 5k in tool organization.. im jealous..

 

[THE YETI]

I'm so glad you are local to me. This way I can just drop off my truck and pick it up when you are done with it.

 

[Young28]

omg.. i want to be like you when i grow up

 

[felixgun]

That is the sickest tool box i've ever seen.

 

[Copper&Black]

Thanks guys! I found a local deal I couldn't pass up. Just $4500 for everything you see in the picture.

I'm so glad you are local to me. This way I can just drop off my truck and pick it up when you are done with it.

Haha sure! All I would require would be a couple of those mythical get out of jail free cards......Not that I would need them, it would just be nice to have.

I know man, but you've got to take it easy. Painting your truck to look like mine is just a bit much. Haha

I locked in the monitors and reconnected the cup holder section to the cover. I locked the monitors in with screws through the MDF walls, and will be adding a little tiger hair tomorrow to make the bond a bit more permanent.
Pics!
