man your wiper cowl is jacked up aint it?
no, it is still in good condition, just didnt feel like pulling the hood (yet) to put it back in

them wheels need brillo pad'd lol that'd clean em up nice.
plan on it sometime next week... would rather wait til after i get matching tires for teh back

What body work did the rails need?

appeared that there was a ladder rack or something attached to it at one time. so there was probably 3 dozen holes randomly drilled down the rail that i welded patch panels into and smoothed it back out

The rust aint bad a patch panel is cheap and quick easy fix. Very typical too all the mud and crap lays in there thanks to the inner brace that runs down that area.

actuall made my own panels and recreated the curve with minimal bondo needed. the inner brace is the WORST design chevy could ever come up with. it rusted from the inside out because of dirt and crap that got caked up in there
Looks like the ds door gap is funky in front, I hate that crap, dads 84 was like that, couldn't get it nice either.
i have reason to believe it isnt the factory door due to when i was sanding, it was red, where the rest of the truck was a dark burgandy color

You remove the drip rails over the doors or was it already done? Also noticed they had an antenna drilled into the ps fender too. That and the grille looks funny on the ds bottom like nothing is holding it?

am going to put the drip rails back on. i like the look of them, just need to get a set of new ones. the ones that were on it, the PO covered them in bed liner, like every other peice of chrome on the truck

and the grille, nothing is holding it on the bottom. havent taken the time to run the 3 screws back in on the bottom, or get the trim that goes around it.

i was debating on the antenna hole. i believe i am just going to leave it and keep the antena there. i dont plan on shaving the truck of anything but the tailgate handle, when i get one

I like that flat black and phantom grille.

me too... but it wont stay that way if i can help it.

what else ya gonna do to her?

once i sell the wreckage of my previous truck, i am going to get a 3/4 drop, and matching tires on the back,

finish the body work

paint it with the copper color of "project copperhead"

finish interior with a fiberglass console, new gauges

motor needs a set of heads, so probably will get a set of vortec heads, and the intake to match them, along with a 150 shot of nitrous for the track...

tahts all i got on my mind at the moment
