My Current Progress...

I tore down my vent windows
and had them bead blasted. To take them apart, I ground off the rivits
that hold the glass hinge together.
Here they are after a shot
of OEM satin black.
Probably the most difficult
proceedure in the entire process was getting the new seal into the frame
- about a 1 hour process total for both frames. Instead of rivets, I used
two 5mm bolts to re-install the glass.
Here's a terrible shot of
the vents installed and your actually looking through glass as well! Doesn't
seem like much progress, but putting both doors together, start to finish
probably took about 8 hours. Read my door "how to"
article here.
Although this looks just like
previous pictures of my rear disc, I actually
totally changed the entire setup due to fitment issues w/ the Cragar S/S
rims I am using. I ended up swapping my 98-01 Camaro style rear disc for
the previous generation 93-97 style. The setup was a 100% bolt on and
worked out great!
This is what i've been waiting
for! I finally sent the truck away for a week to get the paint buffed
out from being painted last year. This allowed me to install a TON of
parts that have been laying around - door handles, locks, fender emblems,
grill, bumper, marker lights, and headlights. Also, not pictured, I had
my hood hinges painted the body color.
The only thing I have left
to bolt on to finish the front end are the front marker lights.
I absolutely hate having these
18" 40 series on this truck, I need to get tires for my Cragars!
Also, I put my cargo light on.
I put a polished aluminum
rear license plate frame on with an integrated license plate light. To
make the inspection mechanic happy, I put a set of temporary reverse lights
that I bolted using the bottom bolts on the license frame.
