ok i brought the camera to school today to take some pics i just got done with the roll pan/shaved tail lights and i am now doing the shaved firewall. ive been working on this by myself at my high school boces so my progress has been slower that it should, i figure its better than the alturnitive of leaving it outside in the snow though, its gonna be 2 tone black and metalflake sunburst orange the doors will have black flames coming onto the orange.

tell me what you think! -kyle

special70gmc · 01-28-2005, 04:35 PM

ok heres the firewall mods just started today

DM310 · 01-28-2005, 04:55 PM

nice stuff. keep it up

hotrodtroy · 01-28-2005, 05:47 PM

What are you doing for tail lights, and where are they going to be mounted?

P.S. Looks killer

Tx Firefighter · 01-28-2005, 05:53 PM

It's one of my favorite trucks on the board. Now, put some freakin hose clamps on your fuel line so you don't burn it to the ground. Your truck would not be near as cool if it burned to the ground.

special70gmc · 01-28-2005, 06:07 PM

i bought some billit specialties lights to set in the roll pan there the bottom ones in the picture tx---- yeah i might have to look into that fuel line problem

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-28-2005, 06:45 PM

THAT IS THE NICEST UN-PAINTED GMC I THINK I HAVE EVER SEEN.....

danho · 01-28-2005, 07:04 PM

Sheesus, my high school auto shop consisted of rebuilding a Briggs and Stratton. I had to do all my truck stuff at home, and it must of cost me $600 in Big Gulps. It looks like your doing a very good job, keep it up.

krue · 01-28-2005, 07:10 PM

Looks good, especially like the fact that it's a GMC!

**Canadian694x4** · 01-28-2005, 07:11 PM

Very Nice Work...Keep up the Great Progress!

GMC71k20 · 01-29-2005, 12:56 AM

SLS · 01-29-2005, 04:06 AM

Wootdog · 01-29-2005, 09:27 AM

Keep us posted on the progress. Kerry

special70gmc · 01-29-2005, 11:19 AM

the hood i ditched i think it was too contravercial every one ended up giving me sh*t about it was i said " its just a hood" and sent it to the heap im gonna get a pin on glass hood for the rain and rock it w/o a hood for the time being. thanks for all the complements -kyle

p.s im going to mmi in orlando for harley davidson and im unsure weather to bring it with me put it in storage or----------gulp, sell it my parents are moving when i leave and they said its not tagging along with them, got any ideas? im really undecided i dont want it to get stolen in orlando!!

o yeah what it looked like a year ago and this summer, should get a good laugh lol

67ChevyRedneck · 01-29-2005, 01:14 PM

Awesome work Kyle, I'm also originally from NY, well, the western country part of it anyways. My town had like 400 people or something.....Anyway I'm interested in knowing where you found such a rust free clean truck. You're pops should be really proud of you. My dad and I built my truck together when I was 15. I love what you did with the rear of the truck. It looks much cleaner and smoother than factory. It's almost a damn shame you have to put taillights in it.

5150 · 01-29-2005, 03:37 PM

I have to agree with the rest of the guys. That is a good looking LWB. I really don't like those at all, but like Tx said it is one of the nicest on this board.

70short · 01-29-2005, 04:45 PM

Good job !!

Keep us posted !!!!!!!!

special70gmc · 01-29-2005, 05:20 PM
