i have one suggestion if you dont mind.... paint that aluminum bracket behind your grill. my buddy pointed mine out one day and now i cant stop looking at them, lol

I got the same inspiration to do my Denali, after having done the same to my '02 Avalanche. That sucker got really peppered with blowing sand. First owner was a contractor, so it was always at the construction sites.

Denali wasn't terrible, but I knew it needed it. So, it bothered me.

After touching that up, and anything else shiny behind the grill, you'll appreciate your effort.

Nice work CARCRZ.

whats up guys, been gone for a minute but I'm back. been working on the old 88 got the tranny rebuilt and a few months ago and then the motor started knocking {awesome} so instead of doing the 5.3 swap i just got a 350 crate motor i really don't have time to do the swap so I'm just dropping a 5.7 and new tranny so i can start driving this thing.

Motor swap looks nice!

Looks like that center console doesn't quite match up to the lower dash. Fiberglass work in the future? :)

whats up Jacob. The OBS is coming along real good i've been driving it to work for the past month and i have about 1800 miles on the motor with no kind of fluids leaking or anything which surprised the hell out of me i installed a dakota digital gauge cluster so i could keep up with the new miles on the new motor.
I'm saving some money so i can get new exhaust ran, i'll post pics later

Like the work; and especially appreciate that you did this yourself in small garage, not a professional shop but still got the professional look. Great detail work!
