well tonight i got most of what i planned done,i removed the radiator core suport,and removed all of the interior except the steering wheel and column and the dash,but will get that tomorrow night,and will start figuring out my cuts,and cleaning the metel before i cut,here are some pics.
debating on the blower motor box,i live in ks,its hot as hell in the summer and cold in the winter,i think i might just run my 18s up front 20s in the rear,keep the ac and heater,im going to shave door handles,wiper nozzles,antenna,3rd brake light tail lights,tailgate,going with caddy lights,im smoothing the interior out with fiberglass,all but carpet and seats,and top of the door panels,seats and part of the door panels will be tweed,need to figure out some paint colors to consider for the interior and exterior,i hope to have the bd done by the end of november,if not sooner,l8r
ok,for those of those keping up on my progress,last night i removed the dash,heating and ac system,steering wheel and column,tonight i removed the pedal assembly,next i can figure my lines,draw them out and then the fun begins ,the cutting and filling in the gaps,i hope to have the cab cut and tacked in this time next week,i will post a few pics.

ill keep it updated,your post has been a big help to me,so keep it up,did not get much done last night as i was getiing the new welder set up,miller 175,and was playing with the new hypertherm 90c plasma cutter,i did get some of the metal cleamed up before i cut,i hope to get the rest done tonight,and maybe some cuts made,the real challenge of the body drop will be relocating the stuff under the hoodand modifying the heating and ac stuff,gotta have it here in kansas.i am moving right along and making decent progress for the little time i have in it,l8rdelusionalkustomz said:christ bro! you're gonna be done before me!
