Jimmie's 96 GMC2500 - Epic 1st "BUILD"


Recommended Posts

Been away for a cpl months. Moving, working, working and... working some more. Started on the paint last week. Here are a few pics of the current progress... Will post more tomorrow after I upload the pics.

Here she is stripped down, no emblems, trim or bolt ons of any kind.

Rusty cab corners cut out and ready for some patch panels

Patch panels fit up. Not quite done w the welding, but I was ready to call it a day.

Found this and some pre-existing Bondo after I started knocking the paint down, so figured I better strip the truck all the way n start fresh.

Here's my latest purchases. Wheels, Exhaust, lighting and grill. Next up is suspension and chassis work - probably a 1-2" drop in front and 3-4" rear, depending on clearances.

24" wheels off of a 2015 or 2016(?) Carbon Edition Silverado and new exhaust - 

Flowmaster Deltaflow and 2 high flow converters.

New Grill, I couldn't settle for common, so I found this. - It's going to look real good w the hood I'm modding.

This is the good stuff. K36 - it's like liquid Bondo lol it's not cheap, but makes the job so much easier when you've got alot of ripples and small imperfections that need worked out.

Here she is in sealer. I had to temporarily put it back together to go get a hood and get my exhaust put on, so I took the chance to get a few pics.

Thx I jus installed them n it's funny how new lights will change the whole look of your ride. And I'm sure you know, those trucks had horrible lights. 

 

Yes Sir, I know EXACTLY what you mean ...
