Well wasn't today, but last Monday threw a rod, blew head gasket, and melted piston all at the same time. The piston hit the block so hard that it cracked the block and left a huge bulge. So long story short, new motor will be going in this weekend

 

Finally got my new track bar bracket put on and new exhaust.

 

Finished up bed lining my rockers.

 

Today I removed the plastic corners grill headlight bezels and all the plastic from the wheel wells up front. Also trimmed the fenders up to the headlights. Painted the grill and bezels and coated my bumper with Dupli-Color Bed Armor. I wasn't very impressed with the Bed Armor, it sprayed out super chunky and didn't coat how I'd like it to. Glad I did my bumper before I attempted the rocker panels. Any suggestions on spray on bedliner? Next step is to remove the rear flares and plastic corners and such, coat the rear bumper and cut and fold the wheel wells.

 

I rented my kit from advance and it was really nice. Everything went in smooth but I did have the harbor freight 2' breaker bar.

 

I wasn't impressed with their spray on bed liner. But the bed liner with Kevlar that you roll on, (like $80 for a paint can) was amazing. Had it in an s-10 for years and I couldn't hurt the stuff.

 

Looks great!

 

I'm finally ready to start this transition today.

 

Purple?

 

No, black.

 

just finished a motor swap on one of my 99's, a first for me. won't start though, so i'll be trying my spare CPS first and going from there.

 

What are you using?

 

 

 

Only need to find about 3 more threads to post those two pictures to.
