sorry for the delay on the questions. let me try and answer some real quick

hills did all of the bodywork

i took care of the 5-lug conversion... just ordered new axles and studs and had a machine shop fill and drill the rotors, drums, and hubs.

the wheels are greg weld... you see, weld went bankrupt for a while and sold out to american racing. then a couple years later greg weld started the company back up under gregweld.com so they are TRUE weld wheels

the seats were fairly easy, hills just made some adapters out of some 2x2 square tubing to bolt the gto seats and tracks onto the original studs and wholes of the trucks floor so no chopping of the floor. just hook up a power and ground and u have power.

thanks for all the complaments guys! there's alot more to come but i have to save a while to do it so it will probably be next spring/summer

going to narrow the rear, widen the wheels to 20x14 and texas speed is going to build me a 418 stroked LS3 that should be good for 575+ rwhp

WOW...nice job man! Only complaint is the NNBS rear looks too box'ed IMO. Having the roll pan really makes it more pronounced. Awesome job though!

Truck looks nice. Just not crazy about the GTO logo on the seats.
