progress on my 2000 regular cab
its been a long time comin... for those who dont know, its been in for the body drop for a while so i decided to suicide the doors at the same time.. since there was gonna be bare metal, the door jambs would have to be repainted so why not do a color change right? well that involves pulling the motor.. so why not go from the v6 to something bigger right? then i decided to go from the 99-02 front to an 03+
first layer of duraglass sanded down
beginning work on the shaved gas door
while i was working on the body work, my dad was scraping the frame for paint..
a little more work done on the gas door.. these things were warped BAD
this is how she sat through the process
after a little more work on the gas door
ready to spray the firewall... i just went with black on the firewall, didnt wanna deal with runnin the new paint scheme through it for a few reasons..
firewall painted
note all the bondo dust... stuff sucks
final wipe of glaze coat on the passenger door
after a quick coat of primer
had to fix a dent here
and shes off to have a little more work done...
and the ls1 that is going in.. along with a built tranny and a few other goodies

my truck started as a mild 5.3 daily driver
looks like a sweet truck, though I like the 2000 front end better.
