First off, fairly new to the forum. I lurk here and there looking for answers from time to time but I seldom ever post. I find myself more interested in reading posts than making them.
Today, I write a post to share the story of Yoko, my 08 GMC Yukon SLT. A few weeks ago I wake up, go outside to smoke my morning cigarette and see this...
EVERY DAMN PANEL WAS SCRATCHED TO THE METAL!
Needless to say I was pissed. Drove it around for a week before I could figure out exactly what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to bring it back better than it was when I found it.
During that week I did research and look at a lot of other trucks on the road to figure out exactly what I wanted to do. Since it's all black should I murder it out? nah! Played out. Too many people do it and don't make it look good. I decided to take some chrome off and really just use it for accents.
Body Shop time!!
Now, ready for paint. Oh, you noticed the shot of the headlights. Yup, restoration and retrofit time!!!
These pics were all taken between 10/04 and 11/05. I currently have the truck in my possession but I don't want to post any pics of the finished product until it's completely done. I'll post some retrofit pics though!! I can't resist.
Got a few more goodies in stock. I'll post more pics later. finished product coming on Monday.
Let me know what you guys think so far!
