I have been working on a 03 silverado ss that was wrecked and I am in the process of rebuilding it. I bought it in april of this year and almost have it ready to go. The damage to the truck was the front end, frame, cab and both passenger doors. I bought a 99 Z-71 frame and a 02 cab for the rebuild and didnt know the frames were a bit different but it all worked out. I had to cut the 99 to 02 bumper frame brackets off and replace them with the 03 to 06 bumper brackets so I could mount the newer front end on it. I decided to go with the 06 grille and hood for the truck because I like the look of the taller hood and the grill looks better too(IMO). The hood was made by the local fiberglass guy and has the 02 SS camaro scoop molded into the it and is functional. I also had to rewire the whole truck as the wiring in the 03 was different from the 02 and the hardest part was the cab, this thing looked like a rats nest of wires but I finally got everything where it goes and it all works. Here is a link to all the pics of the build from start to now.

Let me know what you think and any suggestions on what paint sceme would help because I am up in the air as of now on which way to go with it. I thought of a 2 tone, mabe a sunset orange and black.

 

Good work. How much did the SS actually cost once said and done?

 

what engine is that?

 

Nice work, its come an Awful long way.
Lookin back at total cost and your labor, has the reSSurection been worth it?
That hood looks stellar, good call on the 06 nose.

 

I have about $9500.00 total and alot of time in it right now and all I like is the paint which I will do myself.

I knew when I bought it, it was gonna be alot of work and take some time to finish but I enjoy doing it. I guess everyone has to have a hobby that they enjoy and I have wanted one of these trucks for a while now so I can say I built mine from the frame up. And the hood as I know of there is only one more like it so far.

 

Good looking project. I really like that hood.

 

damn dude, nice work.

id ditch the hood and go for a HD hood, but thats me...

otherwise, very nice!

 

very nice progress man, and that hood looks great!!!
