I see you went with the "engine block delete mod" to save weight and set the motor back a few feet for better weight distribution!

mrbbody · May 14, 2011

i tore her apart and to the body shop it goes
didnt go the cheepy way out. he actually seperated the panels straightend the metal and welded it all back up

he even put a 1/4 inch lip on it for that factory look

he even hammerd out the front fender wells

mrbbody · May 14, 2011

the rockers got the same treatment.
he seperated the panels ,staightened the metal and welded it back up

even the jams got that factory smooth look to it

shaved the door locks and antenna

got some paint on it

went with a two tone, DCM and BBB gonna have it striped with DGGM

mrbbody · May 14, 2011

then it was my turn.. i took it from the body shop to where i "worked"
cleaned the undercarage and stripped the rear fenderwells of the undercoating, and painted it with gloss black POR 15.

mrbbody · May 14, 2011
