Default Pics of my Escalade Conversion

I posted this up on performance trucks but thought I would share with the LS1tech crowd as well. The truck started out as a 2007 silverado and has been modified from there. I am proud to have done all of the work myself (except for paint) but I am glad to see it completed. Let me know what you think!

I will lose the front plate in September when the new law takes effect hopefully. The DPS and Humble Pd seem to be real dicks about it (at least to me). The back is in the works already. I'm losing the tailgate cap and painting the mirrors and tailgate handle to match the truck. After that its getting a roll pan. I gotta save a little more money. As you guys all know too well modding can get out of hand fast so I'm doing things in stages. Thanks again for all of your compliments guys it makes the work feel a lot more rewarding!

Looks great! I love the color too.

The only thing that bugs me is the front bumper hanging down so much lower than the sides. I would want some type of trim kit or something to even it out to the rest of the car.

I think it looks GREAT! I'm not a big fan of the newer body style (silverado's) you pulled it off.

I dunno it looks sick and it must looks like it was done right my only thing is that from the side it looks like an F-150 a little bit and like a previous poster said it looks a little nosy so add some side dress to it and I think it will look ultra clean ... Good job though I commend you for your hard work
