    Yeah I've got a laundry list of things to do before h2o, my wheels aren't done I want to flush mount my bumpers, repaint my front end, build some classy wooden bed rails, and of course more low. However my truck is not nearly as minty as yours so no shame in dragging it to a show looking a mess

    Good call on them caps. Yeah I didnt make it too much work on the truck and still dont have it where I want it yet.

    Looking good. keep it up, always wanted to do the round headlight conversion myself.

    I ended up picking up that 87 s10 I mentioned last september, and its your fault. Have lots of ideas for it, but at the time just driving and enjoying all its character. Step one will be bring it down outa the sky!

    So the black chrome thing didnt work out at all. the paint was garbage so I stripped it repolished the chrome and added some custom touches. Also my new tail lights fitment was garbage so I trimmed and reshaped the back down where it met the body.
    Now they sit completely flush with the body like factory. I also added led reverse lights to match all the other led lighting Ive added. Enjoy the pics I have. More to come soon.

    So the black chrome didn't work so I stripped the grill back to chrome. Taped off the chrome and resorted the vents gloss black and the lower part of the grill where it meets the bumper. Could never get my hand I. There to clean the chrome. Problem s photo 1926756_627527244002269_304201475617388406_n.jpg

    Grill came out really good I'm happy with it for now. photo 10014606_627776733977320_7563277901815268456_n.jpg

    Grill is back on with smoked turns and new chrome eyelids. Looking classic. #s10 #thelocalthirteenshoptruck photo 10150705_627783290643331_5026035866998166843_n.jpg

    Holy shit am I back. After a horrible winter lay off, lack of funds and a career change Im finally back to working on the truck!!!. Chrome grill and new vent shade visors are undergoing a black chrome treatment. Ive had custom eye lids made for my head lights which will also be getting black chromed. To Help blend in the upper turn signals to the new black chrome grill I custom smoked them with lamin-x. I bought all new weather strips, window and door seals aswell. Ordered a new set of tail lamps but im not sure how I feel about them yet. (pictures later) I liked the way they looked in pictures better. I may order a new set of the oem factory ones instead. Working on a few other custom goodies including a manual paddle set up for a front bags but that wont be till summer. Hoping to have the truck all cleaned up with the new face lift for next sundays Fresh Meet.
    Back to work on the shop truck. After a lay off, miserable winter. Job change and lack of funds it's time to give the truck a face lift. First step smoked upper turn signals to match the one off custom black chrome grill I'm working on. <img src= photo 10175007_623503271071333_5986512687933517790_n.jpg"/>
