Recreating my highschool truck, the way I always wanted it to be

Oh no, they were not even close I had to use a spring compressor to get them in.

Almost 12 hours in. I'm almost done with the front. Stopped for some food.

Got the drop done! 16 hours total! It looks great! Video is processing, and I'll link it shortly.

We had a "scare" yesterday with one of the springs on my project. Scared the begebus out of us. I had a 4ft prybar in there to hold it in as dad raised the lower arm. We were both off to the side, so if it did go, we would be behind metal.
Have about 14hrs in on mine, but that includes r&r'n all the control arms. Hopefully get the flip done tomorrow.
Yours looks awesome!!!

Since i started the visual changes first, with finding the wheels, and then installing the drop kit. I plan to continue the visual stuff.

cowl hood, bed cover, tailgate spoiler, and bed and tailgate mat will be inbound soon.

should i spray paint the hood white for now, or leave it black?

I also plan on de rusting and painting the rear drums, they are much more visible now with the new wheels, and look horrible.

Damn!!! Looks awesome. Leave the original hood on until you get the other one painted. Truck looks fast sitting still.

the whole truck will be repainted red/silver eventually. Thats why i wanted to spray the new one white for now.

Hood, spoiler, and bed mats are here! Cover is supposed to land tomorrow! Now I have to figure out how to paint this stuff..
