05 Silverado full restoration

[Boostedqtr]

Hello, hope everyone is doing great!



This Silverado we have been working on for almost a year

The owner was going to sell the truck for scrap
before taking the decision of the rebuild

He wanted a daily drive street truck
Yesterday actually was the first engine start after the rebuild!

Long story short

Engine and other modifications:

Texas speed lsx454 engine
4link suspension
4l60 upgraded trans by rpm transmission
And alot more!

All new oem gm parts + new interior

Sand blasted the chassis and repainted

Polishing stage:

Rupes 21 III Excel detailing 5in backing plate
Flex pxe80


Sonax cutmax - coarse wool pad
Griots fcc - griots white foam pad 3in
Finish:
Ex04-06 - Rupes yellow wool polishing pad / 3in foam yellow

I was planning on a third step specially when its
My first time using the Rupes yellow wool pad didn’t know what to expect . The finish turned much better than what I thought so an extra step wouldn’t add any


Some area where sanded to remove the orange peal textures 1500/2000/3000



I have few more photos on my camera
Well post the rest tomorrow

Hope you guys like the post!

Thanks

This is just awesome! Reminds me of the Chevy 454 SS PU from the early 90’s, all blacked out and just sinister

Didn’t realize it had a 454. Should add those stickers to it

Bad ass. So someone goes from wanting to scrap it, to fully building the damn thing? Lmao. Love those trucks.
