I have a feeling the guy who's been boasting about wanting a full-size would be a little jealous lmfao.

I don't know, I don't mind the chrome handles but I need to pull the one off anyway, it's starting to un-stick... that's why I hate stick on ****. I may try and get some colour matched handles... it's just I need to find the tailgate handle, Anyone know if the tailgate handle on the Avalanches/EscaladeEXT is the same as on the pick-ups?

Gas cap is gonna end up being stock as well.

 

You just wait...I have some suprises on the way for my truck. I've been holding off on posting my progress until everything is done. .

 

Getting the tow-hooks gold plated now?

 

hahahahaha. I haven't heard tell of my tow hooks in a long time. Thanks for bringing that up again Pat. lol. But seriously, no. My tow hooks are doing just fine . I have a couple of really big suprises coming this week, but I think I'll end up waiting on posting them until my entire plan is completed in a week or two. I'm having some funny electrical issues I'd like to get sorted out.

 

First off, WOW! I love that truck man. That paint looks really clean, and I bet the cai and exhaust sound badass!

If you're doing an engine swap and aren't telling us....... *shakes fist*

 

Thanks Phil... both sarcastically and not.

Not sarcastically because I appreciate the comments,

Sarcastically because now I'm even more excited to see what Alex is gonna pull out of hit rubber boot o' tricks. (Stirring the pot is fun!!)

 

Funny! I was just going to hunt down your build thread and demand progress!!

Edit: It would have been tough too cause I'd have to pull it outta the 5th page!

 

Pulled the chrome handle overlay off the pass. door because it was coming off. I cleaned the glue off, stepped back and the truck looked $3,000 cheaper with the textured handles... **** me off. So I spent 20 minutes with a heat gun peeling the old double sided tape off the inside of the handle cover and burned myself while I was at it because apparently the handle overalys are aluminum... I was pretty surprised they weren't plastic, that motivates me to take care of them lmfao. Put it back on and the truck looks much better... I'm just chasing after the stock gas cap right now. I had bought the truck with the understanding that I'd be getting a box with stock parts in it... I went to pick up the truck and now they mysteriously can't find said box, I was PISSED... and as a result I don't have the stock airbox for the winter, nor do I have a stock gascap, and with this one having a smaller opening than stock, it's a ****ing pain to get the nozzle all the way in when fueling up.

 

That sucks man, I'd be pissed too. Atleast the handles arent just cheap plastic.

And yeah, I'm really antzy wanting to see what Alex has up his sleeve.

 

I guess the thing too is that the handles grew on me, it sort of makes that chrome molding on the door look less out of place lol, when the handles were off it stuck out like a sore thumb. And I really don't feel like pulling that molding off because this thing has to go through 2 more years of school... at least.
