Nice donor truck! I have been really surprised how dang expensive any dmax truck is right now!!

**71blksuper4x4** · 06-30-2014, 10:45 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words.
It took awhile to find one in budget and no major problems. Most wrecked Dmaxs I was seeing were wrecked hard in the front.

Chase, anytime, except most weekends lol. Tend to spend time with my girlfriend.
Ryan, I agree on the prices.

As long as you still say "when I do"....you are already committed and confident enough to build one. All it is, a little metal and can always be reworked. Trevor

swamp rat · 07-12-2014, 11:40 AM

Taking as shape nicely! Keep up the great work!

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-21-2014, 10:42 PM

Been slowly building the mirror image of the 3rd door. Working with mediocre doors, as I am cutting them up so much, (it would be sacrilegious to cut up nicer).

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-25-2014, 10:38 PM

Had some time tonight to work on the 4th door. Been fighting 100° plus days after working 10 hours this week. Its shaping up though.

mx289 · 07-26-2014, 09:36 AM

Looking like its taking shape.

Great work.

1968vetL-71 · 07-26-2014, 09:40 AM

Your doing a great job TREVOR!

It's gonna be a keeper for sure.

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-04-2014, 11:54 PM

Thanks for the kind words gentlemen. Found my paint color 2015 Vette "Tiger Shark Grey" and interior color bright red for the project. Give it the classic 50's vibe.

Bomp · 07-28-2014, 08:26 PM

That door is serious work. Looking good on all that edges lining up.
Im watchin from the edge of my seat.

DWilbur · 07-28-2014, 08:46 PM

Cool Build
I'm doing something similar.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-31-2014, 12:09 AM

Tonights progress on the 4th door. Getting the details knocked out. Got the inner door handle area reworked and installed. Got the other tear drop cut out and welded in to access the bolts to the exterior door handle. Little by little.

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-10-2014, 01:22 PM

Been figuring out my door panel situation. A plastic welding first for me with no solvent welding.

**LockDoc** · 08-10-2014, 02:39 PM

Looks like you are coming along pretty good Trevor. Glad to see you working on it.

LockDoc

**72 tigger** · 08-10-2014, 03:35 PM

Nice job on making a "factory" crew cab with the 4th door! You're doing a great job on the detail work- keep plugging away!

**71blksuper4x4** · 08-10-2014, 03:40 PM

Thanks Leon, I want to say thank you for the suburban years ago. Spent the last couple of years building the confidence and gathering the parts needed to get started. Trevor

**72 Super** · 08-30-2014, 09:01 PM

Trevor, coming along great!, nice work on the door panel.

Ray

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-03-2014, 10:17 PM

Been awhile with the last of the beer selling season, but have been plugging away and got the pillar welded in finally. Glad to be over that part.

**rgunlock** · 09-04-2014, 11:48 AM

That is some fine, detailed work on both the pillar and the door Trevor. Looks like they turned out perfect!

6600DURAMAX · 09-04-2014, 10:25 PM

Great build. Have a few questions and will shoot you a pm if you don't mind.

swamp rat · 09-06-2014, 02:05 AM

Nice choice!

mx289 · 09-06-2014, 08:37 PM

Great color choice !

This will be a stunning truck when your done.

**71blksuper4x4** · 09-07-2014, 05:23 PM

Some more progress on drivers side.
