Awesome Work.....Looks Killer....And even though you already have it done, I did a 92 S10 one time and for the firewall clearance .We bought a Wheel barrel and cut it into quarters....Worked like a charm....Although i would have loved to do as you did..At the time Cash and skills wasnt present...

Bed cut/buffed gonna do a lil more sanding and buffing in the morning then clean it up to bedline around the center section. Got the grounds rerouted as well as pos cable with a jump port off 99 up Chevy truck inline so battery can go under the bed. Gonna mount battery tomorrow as well and finish the wiring and bolt front end back together(had to respray front fenders do to 2 light spots in basecoat so that threw us a lil behind). This one is leaving over the weekend as long as no more problems arise.

Nice work.

I wish I had the artistic ability to do custom paint work. Since I don't , guess I'll stick to collision work.;)

Truck is ready all but we found a hairline crack in the tank on the radiator a few days ago and took it to radiator shop. Guy calls me this afternoon and says he got wrong tank.......so yeah another damn setback. Anyway here are the pics and also keep in mind he is bringing it back soon for custom dash and console so not running one for now. Also gotta do final cleanup as well
