Project 3 to Tango

[Xonair]

Well, I been a memeber of this forum and never really posted or showed pics of my ride. so here it is which is part 87,85,&82 c10 "hense the project name" The name is Erik and my club is Lowkey here in md. I wont take credit for the work as one of the club leaders is building the truck for me ;]....

This is what it started out as "87 R10"

Ohhh, nice. I love square bodies... How hard was it to do the suicide doors? Do you have pics of while you were doing it? I plan on doing suicides on my 77.

[ikon]

Wasn't to hard. since the back is already open and you notice there is a brace inside the door which also made it more solid. mercedes isn't the only one with a door that can hold 200+ lbs lol...
