i wish i could just look at something for awhile then start working on it and have it come out that good.  what is that black truck on the lift in the background of the rear end picture?  looks like 87+ rims on it or are them after markets?

keep up the good work.   wanna come to beautiful and snowy Fargo ND and fix my floors and rockers?  i can get cheap airline tickets....

Vile, you are the MAN! That's awesome! My buddy tried that with his low rider '88 S10, they where off a Caddy. He kinda messed it up though. I'll show him this and he'll just flip out! Nice work!

Toooo Coooool!  Great job Vile, that looks real sharp! Must be nice working with clean new metal.

Looks SWEET Vile!

Man that is looking sweet!!

Please post pics of the tailgate skin - I am planing on the same thing.

As usual, a superb job Vilezambonie!

[VileZambonie]

Thanks Don! It was a LOT of work this far and I planned on shipping it off to my friends body shop til he quoted me $12k to paint it  So now I'm going to just do most of the finish work myself as much as I didn't want too

[Captkaos]

WOW!!  12K that is fairly high in my opinion, I could see 6K for black, but wow...

Yeah I think he was sucking on the crack pipe too hard or something. Finding a good body man around here is like looking for a tick in a bag of beetles.  I need a Blazin around here

That is why I opted to sell my 72 Chevelle.  Bodywork was done for the most part but the paintjob to do it justice was $4500.  My 86 will get a Pole Barn paint job with a single stage when it is ready to go.  Wet sand and buff the dirt and she'll be good to go.  A good friend of mine does excellent body work but doesn't have a place to paint.  Pictured is what I will be starting on in a few weeks, not much wrong with the body at all.

Too Funny

I could use Harold also - I owe him BIG TIME!

I have seen another neat taillight job recently- don't know if they would fit but they look pretty good.(eBay truck)

[Blazin]

Looks awesome. I hadn't looked at this post for a whilt till last night when I was reminded of it. No side marker lights, the clutter up a quarter.

[DnStClr]

It works well on the stepsides but those Caddy lights just seem to fit perfectly on the fleetsides like Vilezambonie's truck- they look great. Hope you find a painter soon Vile. Can't wait for the finished product. 

[VileZambonie]

Thanks. Me either! I just want to be able to rip around in it this summer but I dunno now...
