    ok, so far i have put on a magnaflow muffler (i'll put headers and bigger piping on it next year probably). i put on a high flow air filter and did a battery and intake swap. now all i have left:

    1. body work and repainting it
    2. sound system
    3. wheels
    4. lowering it
    5. tinting the windows
    6. replacing the carpet and painting the dash (all black)
    7. aftermarket steering wheel
    8. engine paint and touch up stuff...?

    what do you guys think i should do first?

    i promise i will try to put some pictures up tomorrow. i dont have a camera so i have to go through all the hassle of borrowing. ...

    I would say bodywork, wheels, or dropping it.

    drop it. first and foremost. then interior things and tint. stereo can be done later. so can paint. id rather roll with trashed paint and low than in something up high and shiney.

    number one top ten mistake of hot rodders....

    doing body work last.

    if your serious about the ride being right... do the body work first!
    this only works assuming any fabrication that effects the body for your finished truck has been completed.

    its up to you what u wanna do first,i personally would work on engine/mechanical things done 1st if it needs it, then i do suspension,does not make sense to make ur ride look pretty n it runs and performs like sh*t. n also u wont have to worry about a scratch or ding getting in it as much as if u did body work first.there is no proper way to do what first, its up to you and your budget. :waytogo:
