|  Heavy Metal gets a face lift
So I finished my wroncho a while back with the help of my buddy Elio. Works great but I have always liked the older Chevy body's. So I decided to use a 72 Chevy proline body I had laying around. After seeing a few pics online for inspiration this is what I came up with.  Original Heavy Metal:  Inspiration Shots:   And here is where I'm at now:     |

Got some paint on some parts while I'm waiting on lights. Once the front light bar shows up I can finish the front bumper    |

| Re: Heavy Metal gets a face lift
Well I can never seem to leave anythin alone. After about 6 months of running it as a 71 Chevy I decided to change the build again after seeing a video of project rattle trap. Now I know it's not 100% the same but I'm happy with the build |

| Re: Heavy Metal gets a face lift
Traded a few things with my buddy Elio to get this jk new bright body that was already turned into a brute. First thing I did was cut the ugly new bright fenders to scribe on some axial jk fenders   |

I loved the original and the new body is sick. Never thought I'd see you go Jeep though lol! If you ever decide to part with that body you know who to ask!  |
