Project: Clean Daily...2003 Tahoe LS

[derek1387]

Couple updates.

Decided to order and try a ****** Aero Chamber muffler based off a few recommendations I have seen/had from friends. Not too bad at $80 shipped right now.

Dropped the Hoe off this morning to have the hood painted and fenders painted....and he called me this afternoon and said he is going to also take care of the rear quarters while he is working on it. This thing is certainly turning into a project...was totally NOT the intention, but she is going to be clean!

Pictures tomorrow!

So what's the final total to paint and blend it in?

The hood and fenders work was $600 with materials, and that included fixing some dents and dings in the fenders.

Then getting the rear quarters fixed...both dented in with the "GM Factory Dent" adn one of them rusted out, for $350.

After those are fixed....truck needs a good polish and the thing will look new again!

I know right? My Camaro has been the money pit.

Now I have two.

I was going to order door speakers and pick up a hitch today but him fixing the quarters took the spare cash I had. But it needed done so
Why not do it now

So I'll get those and an HD grille and bumper cap next go around.

I dipped it because the chrome was a little damaged.

No, had to trim the bottom of the grill to fit. Also had to cut one tab behind the grill itself.

Pictures of body work so far.

This one had quite a bit of rust that was ground out and fixed

Nice. A daily hoe is a solid foundation. Mine started as just a ride to work. Now it this

Next will be either an HD grill....or some speakers to replace the blown stockers...havent decided which way to go

 

[Fosscore]

HD hood while you are doing all that paint and body work would be a nice addition. Speakers are easy to find and change out, but finding that HD hood if you haven't already is more of a challenge.

Hey @Fosscore ... Your slipping dude, take a look at post #75 again... Or post #1. Lol

 

[Fosscore]

@Countryboy07 Thx man. I see it now. Was too early in the morning doing the TYF browse on the phone, while also playing tooth fairy for my daughter before she woke up. Dum dum. I see it now. I honestly just looked right past it..Thx for pulling that up. lol

HD FTW!!!

 

[derek1387]

Buffing tomorrow and she will be back on the road. Then to find an HD grille!
