Updating my truck
 

I have decided to make a few changes to my truck. It will not be a fast track project but I think I can have it finished in about 8-9 months. I will try and post before and after pics. Here is a current list of items I plan on doing:

New Door Panels - reupholster
Kick Panels - rebuild and add 6.5" speakers
New Wheels - Probably Budnik or Intro 20" & 18" combo
Suspension - drop a couple more inches, it may be bagged or static I haven't quite decided
Fiberglass Tonneau Cover
Upholster Bed Section
Relocate Fuel Cell

So far the only thing I have done is the bottom section of the door panel, but hey it's a start right?

Thanks TVBlazer for building an awesome blazer. You may notice some resemblance to his door panels. I will start woking on the upper portion of the door panel this week.

Did you use plastic clips to attach the lower door panels? Pic?

i like the way those look..

Re: Updating my truck
 

Those just look tough.

they are are attached to the door behind the ostrich skin insert. the insert is attached with door panel adhesive and behind the "genuine chevrolet" insert.

Sounds like you got your hands full but it should be sweet when its all done and said. I really like how that bottom section came out so far keep up the good work!

Re: Updating my truck
 

That looks tight as heck. You did a great job designing the shape and adding the bevels. I love the ostrich skin...:metal:

Re: Updating my truck

Re: Updating my truck
 

very nice, great job...

Re: Updating my truck
 

That looks really good. Did you do that or do you have an upholstery guy? Also, are your upper door panels aftermarket or ??

Re: Updating my truck
 

That are some sweet looking panels! Very inspiring!
Good work!

Re: Updating my truck
 

that looks SWEET!

Love the panel work so far! I'm interested to see how you're going to keep the same theme and incorporate the door locks, window buttons, and handle.

Re: Updating my truck
 

Looks good.. and i might add I love the fact your paint Wraps around your doors and Cab. those small details make a huge diff imo.

No upholstery guy here. I built them in my garage out of MDF and Duraglass. When I was going to school I worked in the Car Audio industry and I did some custom work. Believe it or not, it took me longer to come up with a theme than to build them.

The upper panels are aftermarket.

Thanks for the compliments.
