thanks so much

Re: off it goes
 

Fantastic stuff! Is it gonna be in Vegas?

Re: off it goes
 

not sure...I have had an offer but it's still a very costly few days from where I live. I know it's a chance of a lifetime but I will have to see how it goes. We are in the final stages but I'm not rushing it....

Re: off it goes
 

I really enjoy getting to see it go together piece by piece. Once it's all together, it's hard to get a sense of the effort it really took.

Re: off it goes
 

appreciate that..thank you

Re: off it goes
 

rear bumper and fillers installed...also got the lever mounted in where the license plate light use to be, this is what will operate the cables driven latches to open the tailgate

Re: off it goes
 

:jdp::jdp: Wow

Re: off it goes
 

That bumper fit is amazing

Re: off it goes
 

thanks

Re: off it goes
 

a few more pics....door handles are installed and all the glass is in. We did billet insert with nice small radius on the edges in the button on the handle. Just trying to lose that chunky in your face black button when you looked at the truck...I think it blends in nicer with the handle.

Re: off it goes
 

Looks good.
I've always kind of thought the door handles was missing something thru here.

Re: off it goes
 

I had a truck that had a color matching pinstripe tape there. Pretty sure it was put on by a previous owner but it was a nice touch.

@CHROMAHOLIC
This build is currently a inspiration to me. I can only hope to end up with something half as good as this truck currently is as I know I will never be able to reach this level.

Re: off it goes
 

thank you guys

Re: off it goes
 

I really liked this truck the way it was when you first bought it, but now it’s easily my favourite build on here. I can hardly wait to see it finished.

Re: off it goes
 

thanks man

Re: off it goes
 

under side of hood is polished, we also started on the door panels...the tooled leather insert is just set in there at the moment. Still have to do some final tweaking and trimming for handles etc.

Re: off it goes
 

Truck Viagra! :metal:

Re: off it goes
 

Talk about raising the bar. Wow!

Re: off it goes
 

Lol...thanks man

Re: off it goes
 

Thank you...just a very OCD guy who loves trucks

Re: off it goes
 

Did you make the door panel trim?

Re: off it goes
 

Did GM make any door panel trim for the 77-80 models without door pull straps?

Thanks
Rick

Re: off it goes
 

door chrome inserts are factory NOS pieces, yes GM did make the trim without the door pull straps

Re: off it goes
 

Thanks for the reply. All that I've ever come across, including mine, have had pull straps.
