With the help of Joe and Joe Customs








Thanks guys for the help!!!

 

That looks good

 

Again, I will be working on my car at

Flatlanders hot rod shop
916 west 25th street
norfolk va, 23501

I welcome anyone from the group to come down today.

 

Where ya heading to in Afghanistan? I've been moved to Kandahar instead of Bagram. So if you head here, LET ME KNOW. For real dude we're hooked up here. Just PM or post up on here, man. Mortuary Affairs is so hooked up here cause it's just 10 of us and they don't want us to go crazy so we've got connections all over the base. We got a 60" tv for our compound for hooking up a chaplain with some steaks and ribs. But....Let me know brotha.
Just sittin here chillin.

 

 

This has been a major weekend for progress.

Joe got the header/dp installed, we dropped a sedan on TC springs, I got my catless downpipe made and installed thanks to someone, Kenny went low-pro, Warren's engine bay got revamped, and Joe did some more of his engine bay. Warren's door got fixed too! Holy hell.

 

So much done in a 48 hour period

 

How much lower on the tc sorings drop? And any info on ride. Stiffer or about the same

 

Base versus TC the TC's will be slightly stiffer and handle better, he's really quite happy with them. I'd say .5" in the front, more (1"?) in the rear, it sits level now being the big noticeable factor. However your everyday person would never notice it. Keep in mind the TC in stock form holds the best FWD time at the 'ring and I'm sure those springs contribute to such. Bang for his buck I'd say he's happy.

I gotta tweak my hangers now though as my tip is out of whack due to having to lightly twist the exhaust for the downpipe....also get with Joe to lose the 420 code, pull out the second O2 and just put a plug in the bung.

 

damn i need to get my springs on before the summer so i can be cool like you guys lol im hopin next month sometime as soon as i get a weekend off to do it

 

we also made progress on danews car yesterday as well! My girl was pissed i worked on cars all weekend. An d thats what i do during the week

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground!

We do spring installs, free specials are over though!

Must provide-
$20 cash (Joe squared's labor)
spring compressors (can be rented from Autozone)
a hand when I need it
12-pack of Bud Light Lime (Warren's cut)

 

damn right Joe

 

do any of you guys know of a shop that powder coats? ive been looking around here and found 2 places but they want 115+ a wheel. ive seen other ppl on the site that get it done for much less.

 

i couldnt give u 20 to do springs, id give you atleast 50 cuz i know its a pain in the ass.. id def help ya out im not like somebody ahaha and.. 12 pack? ur a lightweight ill bring a keg..

i dont know how close you are to western branch area but HALL CHEVY has a motorcycle shop and they said they will powder coat anything and everything that god made, though i dont know of the price

 

well do you have a phone number i can call? im not sure of where the western branch area is but if its a good deal ill take the drive

 

$50 and a keg, man upped the ante!

I like it.

 

Lol. And I offered to teach you how to do the springs. I even have all the tools, including the spring compressors.

 

I no longer know if lowering the car, or changing the oil takes more time. Warren will attest Joe and I can do a car in a half hour now .

 

It takes you half an hour to change the oil? And, there's 2 of you? How much of that time is spent playing Grab Ass?

 

oh hai guys.

I need to come kick it with you all here SOON. Cobalt is being brought back from the dead with a fresh new look, so i'm gonna shoot for July to come down

 

Half an hour was for a spring install, oil change was for comparison in simplicity and time, the internet is for serious business.

You with me ?

Grab ass is an estimated 15 min add-on charge depending on BAC.

 

lol more the ppl helping, the better it will be, hopefully the work gets done and no grab assing lol .......... im stilla few weeks away to get the springs on anyways im in no hurry
