Both front and rear bumpers are missing bolts. They are new bumpers with old bolts. Lots of little things like screws and bolts that I need to replace. If I insisted on perfection the the body shop it would be there for another year. I do very much appreciate your input on the restoration and I am having a blast driving it around now.

Very Nice! These trucks are so cool. Perfect time of the year to go topless.
I was going to say something about the driver's seat, but I figured the
ompaloompas delivered the truck from the shop. Thanks for the motivation!

The Oompa Loompas wouldn't install any seats they like buckets for some strange reason. So I installed the seats myself and I haven't finished installing the driver seat yet its more complicated than the rest.

Looking good man. It's always fun to get it back freshly painted and ready for fun.

Rear seats . . .
What seats do you have in the rear?

2003 Tahoe 3rd row. there is actually room for two rows of seats. The sell kits on ebay that makes them easy to install. I didn't like my kids rolling around in the old bench seat with a lap belt.

Color came out great. Looks like new again.
Now that I've seen the latest photos on a larger screen The thing that keeps catching my eye are those front steering stabilizers. They seem out of place now. Maybe swap out the red boots for simple black ones, and paint the stabilizer bodies black instead of white. That would really help them to blend in more so they don't distract from the new paint, etc.

I took the boots off the other shocks and they blend in better or don't look out of place. Your right I need to take them off the front stabilizer shocks. One thing the pictures don't show is that there is pearl in the paint you can only see in the right light but I think it adds an extra depth to the paint. Everything on the exterior is new or has been painted except the mirrors. I plan on making the interior white.
