I really like the starter idea... Very race car-y. Big fan of the red covered switch look

the sticker headliner is everywhere its been and what parts have been put on it. for example the decal for blackhawk headers and the skyjacker lift. it has a silver lake sticker and a few other locations its been.

that back exposed section was cut out. it was there originally but we started strippin it down

Thats what I meant when I mentioned the smooth metal, but just replace the metal with diamond plate and ta da.... I think it will look really sekksy for a K blazer.... Seems liek you have the opportunity of the lifetime with that thing... I cant wait to see it finished

i don't want to go to diamond plate crazy lol. but on the doors and the rear panels , plus the chevy trim piece on the front passenger dash. the guy that did the dash went a little crazy IMO. it still looks good though. got to add diamond plate to the list along with the floor panels....

Are you going to use "true" floor panels and replicate the original truck, or fab your own? I honestly wouldnt care if my floor panels werent the original as long as they did the same thing as the from factories did

im getting them from keystone, which according to my collision teacher is what the major collision repair centers use. so they are oem replacements. the school can get them alot cheaper then i can plus they get free shipping and 25% off the discounted price. i figure i'll be able to do all the floors and im going to have to redoe all the rockers, inner and outer. and it'll be under 550. which is less than what it was gonna be for just the panels


**today i took off the metal 4wd cover. they were 13mm bolts, the big black metal cover. well it won't come off. i pryed and pryed. is there any bolts up underneath holding it also?
