Thanks for the moral support guys ::)

We made it to the blaster on Friday.  He said it should be around a week for the frame.  Hopefully when it is ready I'll have the rest of my cab stripped and I can drop off all the body parts when I pick it up.

Here are a couple of pics of us loaded up and ready to hit the road.

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead.  I've had a thread going over on the LS swap page, but now that the swap is done, I'll move it back over here and try to get this thread updated.  This project is a couple years old, but didn't make much progress between blasting 2 years ago and this winter, but we've been working hard the last couple months and should finish it up in the next few weeks.  Lots of pictures to follow, so buckle up.

After having the frame blasted, we built a rotisserie for it and coated it with KBS coatings.





Exciting to have a roller!  Getting ready to drop the tranny in so we can locate the LS in the frame.

Test fitting the new tires to make sure I don't have to cut the fenders before we paint them.


That's where we are at, hopefully shooting color in the next couple days, then reassembly.

Got the paint all sprayed over the last couple days and finished up this morning.  I'm relieved this part is done.  Now it's time to start the reassembly.

Thanks for the compliments.

Got the bed on today, the front end put back together and the wiring started.  Excited to get all the wiring run so I can start getting the interior in it.
