Right now were going for the rust frame look. Once the paint is complete - Kenny "Speed Racer" is going to blow it apart and detail put on the Level Pro and then drop it off at the powder coaters.

Yet Another Update.

The two tone has been layed out and now it's time to work on the tailgate.

It's a fairly large & flat surface so it needs to be broken up just a little.



Placement of the Graphics is key.





Soon you will see the finished product.

Good Afternoon All,

So what does it look like outside in the Sunlight

I would say it Copper & Champaign, however Bob swears it's silver & red.

LS3 w/ overdrive - paddle shift

recovery room interior with OE style trim

Hi All,

It's all about the little details that no one may ever notice.

This is how the bed gap looks on a Stock s10 -- Not so good.



Sliding the bed forward you can solve the gap problem.
However, you will need to stiffen the chassis to prevent the bed from twisting and hitting the cab.



Of Course this then leads to the next problem.
The bed is just a little wider then the cab.



So off comes the bed.
Now it's time to drill out all of the spot welds that hold the bed sides on the truck



Just a close up of the fun that Dave had drilling spotwelds
