Well I bought my truck 2-25-12 with 41k miles she was stock except for magnaflow cat back. First one I had seen in person and drove. After test drive I had to have it. With in the first month I added and k&n cai and a jtsvp gen2 shifter(which made a huge difference). I was extremely happy with the truck and like most of us had big plans on modding at some point but also like most of us I am not made of money haha so it was going to be slow going. Then on 7-21-12 a very unfortunate thing happend some A hole spun me out going down the interstate i T boned another car then backed it into a guardrail. Which the driver that started it all fled the scene. I do body work for a living so I knew I could fix it cheap so at this point I knew I could use all the extra money I was getting to start my build. Little did I know how slow this build would be with the amount I was doing and life in general.

[BAD SNAKE]

yeap the ole waiting game. any plans for the bay?

 

[bmxam962]

Nothing like yours just delete battery box, custom brkts for fuse box once I turn it side ways. Either brkts for abs or move it. Hidden coolant jug, delete washer jug, hide some wires, different heater core lines, custom aluminum fender liners, a lot of powder coating oh yeah and F1

Hat off to you bud work so far is fantastic think the exhaust some of the best work seen for a long time like the way went through chassis rails with it are you going to make up side finish plates was bad luck having the rta but she will be rebuilt better and stronger we have the technology

They will be for front so that I will have more suspension travel with out bottoming so bad. I am making them out of aluminum shod give me 2-3 more inches. It will be one of the last things on the list besides paint because I will need everything in there to see what I have to make it around. I will take lots of photos and give a price cost. Should be under $100 plus your labor.
