66 GMC Long to Short LS Swap

Got another round of body work and paint done, all the front sheet metal except the hood. Reduced the high build primer a lot more this time and got it to lay out a lot flatter. Made the time to block it all out much quicker. Shot the back side of the fenders and the grill surround with Raptor liner.

Great progress! I like the raptor liner idea. Looks very similar to the old undercoating but should hold up way better

I did Raptor on the underside of everything on mine, too!

nice details, the front turned out nice

Wow, it's coming along nicely! Looking great!

Short update, rebuilt the vent windows with fresh paint, new seals and replaced the door glass.

I got tired of trying to repair my bedsides so I splurged and bought new sides, wheel tubs, front panel, rear sill and roll pan. Bolted it all up with fresh hardware and installed the tailgate. Started fitting the pan, going to run the exhaust through it.

Got to work on the hood as well. Painted the underside and the braces. Top side is in high build, working on the final block sand. Hoping to get it painted in the next couple weeks

Have you considered doing 1/2 cuts on the bottom of the roll pan? It might give you more room for some nice stainless tips. I've always thought it would be really tricky to center exhaust pipes in a round hole.

I thought about the half cuts but decided to try and center the pipes. We'll see how it goes, will be tough for sure
