This page is about my 79 Chevy 4x4 that I'm giving a frame off resto/mod. These first pictures are of my motor after being rebuilt and painted, then mounted on the frame which has been sandblasted and painted.
I have also built a custom dash out of sheetmetal dash to mount a set of autometer gauges, a Blaupunkt CD/MP3 player and an LED shift indicator from Lokar.
I also made a custom shifter, tilt and turnsignal levers out of square steel shaftl.
The interior will also be getting this set of leather seats with bowties embroidered in the headreasts. I'm also trying to make some door panels to house these billet door handles from lokar.
The interior also is getting a custom shifter for the 4x4 that I've made out of a dumby grenade that I threaded to go on the stock shifter.
On the outside I am smoothing out the bumper bolts and am working on smoothing the lisence plate frame out of the front bumper. I have also shaved the door handles, the tailgate got smoothed out then I shaved the fuel doors and stake pockets on the top of the bed.
Finally I have gotten the dash back from the body shop, so far its been smoothed, primed and block sanded. Now I have to wait for my cab to come back from them too so I can mock the dash up again to make sure everything fits and that all the gaps on the fenders are good but until that day comes here are some pictures of the dash smoothed out and with the CD player in and the guages mounted.
I was at the bodyshop the other day taking a look at whats been done on the cab and it looks like the corners and the roof are pretty much done with a little bit of work left on the side of the cab. They also had the underside of the cab and firewall sandblasted because there was road dirt and oil on it.
They also had a new hood for the truck in, I was pleasantly suprised when I saw It because I was excpecting a reproduction hood but I was greeted by this haha.
There were also a couple of cool lookin customs so I figured I'd snap a few pictures of them for your viewing pleasure haha.
This is a late 30's early 40's Pontiac that was in because some body dented the rear fender so it needed some work
This truck is a 56 Chevy thats still in progress its hood has been sectioned and its getting a custom interior and I've heard its getting an airride suspension to.
