Texas_Veteran Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) My SSS was vandalized prior to me leaving Southern California, and I was lucky that she wasn't stolen while I was there. I kind of felt bad for her, and I needed to treat her to a makover once I arrived here in North Carolina. Since she has been such a great truck all these years I decided to clean her up quite a bit. She is getting ready for some paint, and I shaved a few things off of her. Here is the progress so far. Here is the final update. I moved all pictures to the first post so that you wouldn't have to go through the whole thead to see them. What do you think? Shaved drivers side door and gas door. Shaved Gas door, and shaved Bed rail. Drivers side with the cladding prepped in the background, and you can see the bedrail shaved as well. Molded BSER Rollpan. (Drivers Side) Molded BSER Rollpan ( Passenger side) Passenger side Shaved Tailgate: Another angle. Painted Drivers side: Painted Passenger side: Painted Drivers side: Moulded BSER rollpan, Shaved Tailgate, and something different for paint on the tailgate. Passenger side: Front View: I have the lower grills on order to paint and install soon. For my gas fill area I added this Motorcycle style pop up filler on top of the bed rail, and it hides under my tonneau cover.

JC03SS Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Gonna look really nice when you get done. Sucks to see you have to do this because B-holes won't leave stuff that's not theirs alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is the gas fill tube now? Oh, that is going to be somewhat of a surprise. I got this idea from a show truck that I saw a while back.

I am going with a two tone on it. Black on the bottom and a blood redish color up top. The Gas filler isn't anything that crazy, but something that is not done every day. Just a small mod that will catch your attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
