My 99 EB Custom Build

Its been a while since I've been on the site but I thought I'd share the custom build on my 99 EB. I've owned this truck since new and over the years it has served my family well. It now has over 150K on the OD and has been off the road for 4 years collecting dust in my shop due to an accident my son had with it.

Basically the plan is to give the truck a new lease on life with new custom pearl white paint, 03 sheet metal conversion, custom one off hood, new custom leather interior, 22's or 24's, and to lower it as far as it will go without cutting up the frame.

Here are some of the initial photos of the build. I will add more as time goes along. Comments are welcome.

Lots of hard work there. I like the "Love You Mom" sign on the windshield. Perhaps it can be permanently etched it?

The "Love you Mom" was from my son when he wrecked it. My wife wasn't too happy with him then.

Looks Great!, I always wondered does the newer sheet metal bolt up, or does it require a lot of fitting, cutting, etc?

Hey man, I've taken a real interest in your project. If you have any new photos, please send them our way. I have an '03 myself so it's kinda cool to see a '99 transform in what I've got.

Also, I hope your son wasn't hurt at all. If not, then Mom shouldn't be too angry with him. The "I Love You Mom" was hilarious when I first saw it.

Actually I'm uploading photos from the entire project to my website as I type this. When I'm done I'll post the link so you can check them out.

Awesome man, thank you. Do you have any suggestions for my '03 expy? It's an XLT, stock everything. I would like to add some flair to it but I have a low budget.

Tough one on a low budget. I would save up for some wheels first.

Sounds good to me. I've been trying to keep my eye out for some black or gun metal grey. Eventually I want a new paint job on it.
