Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Miami-Dade]

Excellent work Mark!!

I already replaced the sensor, I cleared the code with the tech2 and still getting the code. I see the live data but I don't know what that data means.

Ok so The Beast is different. On The Machine it reads in degrees. I’m guessing the systems are different. What I see is 2 different voltages. The top one in the list on the Tech2 seems to be around 1 volt and the bottom one around 3 volts, then at 1/4 turn to the right the top goes to 3 and the bottom one to 1-ish and with the wheel upside down the top goes to around 4 and the bottom to 2-ish. Hope this helps.

Excellent work Mark!!

Thank you Gary.

I’m gonna put this here just because I’m only lightly considering buying a project even though I have no place to work on it at the moment. I would need to build a shop first but whatever lol. If I was to do this, I would do an LS swap and I would build a badass motor. I would also bag and body it. I haven’t looked into what this car would be worth yet so if anybody has a clue, or opinion, please chime in. It’s a 67 4 door Nova II. Both front floor pans need to be replaced. It runs and drives, the interior isn’t bad. Body looks pretty damn straight, all parts are there and the chrome looks pretty damn good considering. Guy wants 5500 but there might be room for negotiation. Sure would look nice laid out on billets. Being a 4 door might be a deal breaker though.

Something different.....right? Imo--$5500 seems ok, but I bet you could do better, maybe $3500--$4200. No one really wants 4 doors. If anyone were to buy it, would strictly be for parts--a parts car, and no one would give him that much for a parts car. Just my opinion tho. What motor and trans is in it? Manual brakes and steering? Back in high school my buddy had a 2 dr. No pwr options--at all. Had a straight 6 iirc. Looked badass tho. Was mint and jacked up with deep dish Cragers and BF Goodrich tires.

I dunno mark, if it was a 2 door I’d say yeah, do it...but 4 door..... not feelin it buddy.... we should ask the know it all.....

I like it but being a 4 door it’s worth no where near $5,500 even if it had good floors in it. Worth probably half that or less where I’m at. I’d definitely rock it and build it but not at a $5,500 asking price as it sits

Maybe it's the area, but a 4-door in comparable condition in my locales might pull $3,000 tops.

 

[Rocket Man]

Yeah after looking at prices it’s ok if it was a 2 door but twice what a 4 door in that condition is worth. I’m also looking at a square body C10 my neighbor has for $1000-1500. It would be a lot easier to build since I could just buy a frame for it from PhatPhabz.

I was going to say. You can get a pretty decent square for that kind of coin.

This is what I want to do...

 

[VDV18]

No dice on the 4 door IMO.....and huge thumbs up to the C10! Get on it so we can see another build

 

[pwtr02ss]

4 doors for more ******. I don't mind the 4 door look.

C10 is cool too. Especially with a full frame.

I have a Harley-Davidson Night Rod custom that I will be selling to fund a build. I’m hoping to get 25 k out of it which should get most of it done but I need to wait until next spring because with the Covid, nothings selling. So right now it’s just preparation and dreams. I mean, I can buy the vehicle if it’s cheap but that’s it.

Is that going to be the build that has a ground-up LS build in it?

That’s my plans. LS swap with an engine I build myself, probably twin turbos. Bagged and bodied on a full custom frame. Something like this.

I got the Q Bond and glued the Dorman cover onto the new step pad. It seems real solid. Didn’t do a neat job but at least it’s holding and nothing leaked out the front. Just need to install it now.

Looks good from the outside--where it counts.
