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.

Pics of progress so far.

How much are these mods gonna cost your customer? I don`t mean to be rude, I`m just curious.... ?

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.
