BOSWELL891 Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 (edited) Picked this kit up a couple days ago since my brother has an xtreme, I'm going to build it in the style of his even though the grilles and a couple other things are different, it will be lowered with shaved tailgate and roll pan, I would like to put a pair of 05 corvette rims on it since he wants to put them on his but I don't have any. Here's his truck Edited June 25, 2012 by BOSWELL891
Olskoolrodder Posted June 20, 2012 Posted June 20, 2012 Should be killer! I've had my share of Dimes (and Blazers),but neve an SS or Xtreme,one day..... Anyways,can't waita sees it
BOSWELL891 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Got the engine finished today Edited June 24, 2012 by BOSWELL891
91blaze Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Are you going to modify the grille? I think the grille on the real truck is much better than the kit grille. And do you have a stepside bed for it?
BOSWELL891 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 No I'm going to leave the kit as is for the most part, because I'm not building a exact replica I'm just building it in the style of my brothers truck
91blaze Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 That's too bad, it would look so much better as a stepside.
BOSWELL891 Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 I agree it would but I don't have the skill to make it be a stepside
91blaze Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 You could use the bed from the 1996 S10 LS Sportside or the '97 F150. They are similar but the F150 bed would probably have to be narrowed.
BOSWELL891 Posted June 24, 2012 Author Posted June 24, 2012 Got the chassis finished and the ground affects put on the bed and cab
BOSWELL891 Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 Not a big update but got the body in primer just waiting for cooler weather before I do the rest of the paint and found a set of wheels and tires in my parts box that look really good and resemble my brothers wheels.
gray07 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Looking great, thats a sweet truck your brother has.
BOSWELL891 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Posted June 29, 2012 Another small update but got the interior parts painted i just need to dullcoat them before i put them together, and got the interior flocked. mock up of the interior parts
