Hi Everyone :)
I have been a lurker on this forum for quite sometime and am very impressed with all of this forum! I hope I can build as nice a vehicle as most on here have because there are soooo many amazing builds on here and the tech info is just great!
I have a '91 GMC Syclone with a 4.3 turbo v6 and awd. I have owned it for close to 10 yrs and put about 5k on it total, most of that in the first 4 months of owning it :)
I was young and decided I wanted to "toy" with it and basically I have never finished it to this day. I got close to being able to drive it a couple yrs ago but just couldn't get it running right and winter came so I had to pack it up.
Well now that the wedding is over (got married 3 weeks ago :)) I should have some time/money to start working on this thing and maybe finally put some miles on it!
So I have been thinking after seeing so many cool vehicles on this site, lateral g and in the mags today I want to make something awesome. I am ten years older and a lot wiser thanks to my former boss so I can do a lot better work than I used to!
So the problem I have is 2 fold
I need a name for this project :) as everyone's doing it now
I want a rendering showing how I want it to look when done, I am hoping this will add a lot of motivation by looking at it all the time :fingersx:
I know I had a car mag not to long ago that listed a bunch of artists but of course I think it got tossed.
Could I get some recommendations? I am also curious as to how much something like this is going to cost me, I would love to have Chip Foose make me a drawing but I think that would probably cost as much as I have into the truck. I just want to know of some people that do a good job and for a reasonable average working guy price. I will want an engine view, interior view and maybe a couple exterior views.
Please reply here or email me with any suggestions (email works best :)) and Thank You very much in advance!
