New England B.S. Thread

If I recall, Chevy's standard colors are white, black and red. Any other color is an up charge of a few hundred bucks. Out of those 3 options, I'm guessing black is the most licked for the average consumer. The project I'm on now, 3 of the field guys have basically the same damn black Silverado. Aside from the bumper stickers, you can't tell them apart. Believe it or not, my white Ford is the stand out on the construction site! All the subs have different color trucks, not many white work trucks here.

 

Gonna spill the beans? I've got a Eastwood MIG 175 myself that I need to learn to use. It's been an expensive dust collector for too long.

 

Get out there and go make some expensive paper weights!

 

One of these days.

 

It might not make you a butt load of money but it might get you some practice to do some shenanigans like this. Who am I kidding - you're in northern VT, you can up charge it 85% for "Vermont artist made"

 

Some chain, a few lamp sockets, rattle can them, and sell them at the local village store...PROFIT!

 

You can charge more if they're rusty.

 

Leave 'em rusty then, or even artificially distress them...MORE PROFIT!

 

A plug for the "Muffler Man" on Montello Street in Brockton. I don't know that they do custom work, but they do good repairs and won't bend you over. My wife's 2007 Highlander had an exhaust leak somewhere. I know that the dealer would want to sell a whole new exhaust, but this shop repaired it for $60.00. Took about and hour from the time I dropped it off until they called and said it was ready.

dDo you think black is the most LICKED for all brands or just Chevy?

It's called patina

Could they do an exhaust reroute?

 

Probably could, but don't know they are interested in that kind of thing. Might be more up Lou's Custom Exhaust line of work.

 

Reminds me I gotta do mine. Let me know if you find someone if they'll do a deal for a double. There's a place down here too - either way might just be worth it for both of us to do it locally each haha

 

Never know with those Chebby guys...

 

Lous custom exhaust might be the move, there's a location in Lynn which is a hop skip from me but less so from you...

 

Go to Lous custom for the reroute. Bring pics of what you want and show where the skid will go. They are all over and I've been going there since high school.
Need to do mine also, then buy a flat skid instead of the beer belly skid I got now.

 

The reroute and skid trio is probably the most realistic next mod for me, happy these guys do good work and I won't have to deal with the anchor style skid lmao

 

Good to know. I might be needing some work soon, something a little better than stock for flow.

Check Job Lot, I bought one of these there a few years ago and it served me very well. I've been able to semi-retire it now, because metal roof.

I want to say there is/was a location in Holbrook or Brockton..might have to try them myself
