Well, whatever you're going to do just get convinced about WHAT YOU WANT first...

I think there isn't a "right way" to do or a better thing to do first. The only important thing is that YOU got clear thoughts about what you want and you are convinced of it!!!

All the rest is just bullshit in my opinion.

I'm gonna say none of it, cuz then if I ever meet you at a show, I'm f*cked!!

No, seriously, I'd at least lower it. I can't stand to see a vehicle at stock ride height, lol.

To fit the LS1 in it, you're going to have to move the firewall back. That should be fun.

If you feel like you should have an order then here you go. If there will be time in between each job where you would be driving the truck then many of these things will look out of place if the previous is not done first. I just to your list and rearranged it.

1-3. lower 2 inches all around
2-10. 18/19 inch(front/rear) rims
3-4. rollpan
4-15. frenched in licence plate box(from a Caddy)
5-1. body kit
6-14. new tail lights(from different vehicle, not sure which one yet)
{{from a caddy would go well with the licence plate}}
7-7. shave door handles and emblems
8-9. suifcide doors
9-11. paint Black

I listed the interior after the exterior for a reason. Not many people accually see the inside of your ride when driving and since nothing to be done to the inside can harm the outside it can all be done after the outside is complete.

1-12. new carpet(Black)
2-13. reapulster seats(seats outta me Eclipse(black and orange))
3-13. custom sub box(6 or 8, 12 inch subs)
4-6. fiberglass dash
I put the engine last since you have so many plan that do not involve the engine. It appears that this area is the least of your concern.
1-2. LT1 and 6 spd(with supercharger later)

This air ride would nearly be pointless with such a big wheel and such little suspension travel space.
0-8. air ride suspention

This fiberglass idea is definately a waste if it is to loose weight. For the fiberglass to be thick enough to withstand any damage at all it would weigh more per square foot than the original sheet metal. Just loose the finderwells and find aluminum engine parts and brackets.
0-5. fiberglass front end

If your looking for it to be fast off the line or fast in general, 6 12 inch subs will not make your car faster. I put 2 12's in the back of mine and I have a hard time buring out now

i want a mixture of everything, fast/style/sound/fucuality. I just want me to like it. and I changed it o 4 L7's instead of 6.

i say bag it, body drop it, big wheels, v8, body work, then interior stuff. i know you didnt have body drop on your to do list, but i thought it would be a good suggestion. i have a set of older deville taillights with chrome trim if you want to buy them off me. i was going to french them in my sonoma, but i decided to go with flush LEDs.

im looking for something a little more custom for my tail lights, everyone has caddy tail lights. Im not like everyone.
im thinking drop 3/3 now w/ 5spd on the 2.8, ls1/5sp (at the same time front end, dash), body kit, air ride, interior as I go.

Zero, how much would you let the Caddy tails go for?
