I'm doing this Astro for a customer. Cadillac tail lights, shaved door handles, suicide driver door, escalade front end conversion. It has a 2/3 drop, and he has 20's for it.
'89 Astro, 4.3L, TBI. Minor intake and exhaust mods. Rebuilt 700R4 trans (by me). Corvette servo, 0.5" boost valve, police grade 1-2 accumulator spring (shifts fast and solid). B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

Nice work, I`m following along....
His total bill is $2,000 and that is just for labor, he bought all the materials. It will not be painted either, it will be returned with the spots primered. I'm guessing he has close to $600 in parts invested.

I haven't done the tail lights yet. I will be getting fillers from grant customs, and then cutting the shape out of the filler, and equal distances above and below the stock tail light for the cadillac buckets. If that makes sence. I should be working on them by next week, so stay tuned.
