48 GMC BURB, I think I might have seen those tail light pictures before but can not remember where! HAHA. I will have to dig through the computer and find some cool mods I have done.

Here is some of what we have done.

Speedbumpauto · 03-05-2013, 07:46 PM

Very cool out of the box thinking. Really like to see it when it's done.

Kabwe · 03-05-2013, 09:30 PM

I love it some of these ideas are off the chain. Nice work for sure.

xpickup · 03-06-2013, 10:30 PM

Ok I dug through the computer and found some mods. Smooth firewall, recessed firewall, some different inner wheel wells I made. Some paneling on the custom roll pan filler, firewall and inner wheel wells. Smoothed upper doors( no outside garnish molding). Mycustom smooth running boards that contour front and back fenders. And 56 chevy eye brows on the AD.

Shannon

xpickup · 03-06-2013, 10:31 PM

Artistry!!!

solidaxel · 03-08-2013, 08:46 AM

Did you fab the eyebrows, or cut up some good 55 fenders?

xpickup · 03-08-2013, 12:15 PM

FarmerSid, hotrod1, Thank you.

solidaxel, They were patch panels. Then I had to make the bottom side to finish them off underneath . Factory AD buckets and the chrome rim from the 56. Top of the fender needed to be recontoured to match up to the eye brow.

Back when we used radios, I frenched in the power antenna, made a custom head liner, and a air cleaner nut out of a hot wheels truck. Removed the tailgate chains and used seat belt latches instead, add a cap and light to the rear bed rail hole.
