The lack of wires on that thing is almost spooky. Everywhere you expect to see wire loom on an engine, there's nothing!

The best part for me is that it LOOKS stock, just lowered. But its FAR from that.

Thanks man, just what I was shooting for...wanted it to be timeless and not date itself it 20 years

thanks for the compliments...I appreciate that considering there's a lot of badass builds out there. A lot of it comes down to personal taste and style, I've always tried to keep a subtle factory look on my vehicles and not change too much from what makes us love these things, which was GM styling.

A lot of nice work on the inner fenders also! Did you run the brake lines down the frame rail and the wiring thru the fender?

rad support is in, fender and hood aligned and gaps are straight as an arrow

we moved the hood spring from on the rad support up to the hood to give the support a cleaner look. Then we machined out a billet cup to catch the spring when the hood closes to keep from marking any paint.

Just a suggestion...

When your truck is complete, find a similar year, perfectly restored, bone-stock truck. Park the two side-by-side, and do a photo shoot highlighting the differences. For example, it would be very interesting to see a side-by-side shot of the stock radiator support, and of your radiator support.

I was thinking the same. There is so much work in that rad support. It is so clean and perfect. They were never designed to look that good,

Just wondering if you have any plans on another build since this one is coming to a end ?
