Ok im going to keep track of all the progress of this build the best i can. Nothing done to it yet as i just bought it and im workign on getting it to run rite.

Bought it 02-27-2011













Didnt do anything until the spring as the weather was cold...

Got it into the garage at home and started on the inside. I want all the blue gone and the carpet was in bad shape. So im replaceing the carpet with sheet metal and getting it lined with bed liner (just incase it gets wet) it will be easy to clean and let the floor last along time. Also working on getting the whole underside of the truck coated along with a new coat of bed liner in the bed...

inside as of rite now






Also wrapping the dash in carbon fiber vinyl that we specialize in..





More to come...

I have pictures of other cars we did. We wrap the hoods for a quarter of the price it cost for a real carbon fiber hood. Also when its done you cant tell.

How did you do the bed liner on the side of the truck? It looks pretty good...I've been toying with doing it to mine..
