Looks good. I forgot that you were painting the exterior black, I remembered the interior changing. Had to double take.

Ithanks Erik, Im pretty happy with the paint. The interior is going to hopefully happen on Monday or Tuesday and do some other things soon as well. If it doesn't rain Tuesday I'll do the tint as well.

well today I pulled the entire dashboard out and getting it prepped and painted for my new interior. btw I found out today that my new black leather interior is custom embroidered for another Christmas present that the wife got me. the headrests have "Rockstar Edition" embroidered in the headrests. so I'll be picking up the interior on Wednesday night and getting everything else ready to go in before than. I'll be doing the tint tomorrow if the weather stays as nice as it was today. and I am replacing my GEM module in the morning and hopefully all my electrical gremlins will be dead.

welp, these pictures aren't the greatest. yesterday I had some free time so the dash came out....and was completely painted black in time for the new interior on thursday, and my steering wheel was replaced at the same time. here's what I ended with.

thats all I have for now, today I'll be doing my HID's, tint, removing my steps, getting ready to replace my steering box, installing my crossover steering on Thursday as well as replacing a few of the leaf spring bushings, pulling out the interior to install my amp false floor and figure out my mounting points for my seat so I can lower it back down and still use it.

if your body isn't in bad shape it wouldn't cost much at all. mine just had some repair patch panels and stuff that needed to be welded in.

I was thinking of doing the conversion on my 06. how bad was it to make the inner fenders and all work? Did all the panels just bolt right up?

Between today and yesterday we got most the lift done, crossover, I ran into so many problems with numerous products which I won't name here, really annoyed though. Its hopefully going to be driving tomorrow though, have to have a new upper track bar mount made bc of a communications failure. I'll be finding a set of 46's and 20x14 hostages for summer tires. It is huge though, I'll try to get some pics up in the nexT few days.
