After some small dents from accidents and Stolen Tailgate i decided to rework the body and get ready for new paint, and along the way drop out rear some more for bagged/static rake i've always wanted.. Unfortunately a finished paint will have to wait till funds are straight but wanted to get the body as straight and clean looking as possible.. After knocking out suspension and body its time for under hood goodies to help the GM350 crate run strong. All a slow process as child support is a bitch! lol

on to pics (sorry for cell phone pics)....... yes some i've posted before

Throw back from first paint and mild drop

NEW DROP

BODY WORK so far

More pics to come as complete... Should be black with a few accents and wheels back on to roll out to TX HeatWave

Lol yeah, that rear corner was all smashed in so after metal work had to prop roll pan up to tack straight, worked great

why did you take half your bed down to bare metal?

Because the was some rust and bad prep on previous job.

 

[BodyDrop21]

i was going to say.. cause when you tak stuff down to bare metal you can be opening a can of worms.. but since there was rust i can see why.
