Yeah but he will never be finished with it. He's a perfectionist and will always find something else that needs tweaking!

You may very well be right, but my goal is to prove you wrong. One day it will be finished.lol

Hey Bam, just went through your entire thread again. Absolutely jaw dropping work. I hope all is well with you and I can’t wait to see some updates.

Wow! Just like the rest of your build, just the very best!

Thanks guys, I really don't have much to post but I got the doors and hood painted and I currently blocking the bed trying to get it ready for paint. I have to install windows, its getting there slowly but surely.

Here are some pics of how the doors and hood turned out.





I was not going to post any pics until I had everything together but you asked.lol

WOW! Looks great! cant wait to see it all done.
That hood is awesome! looks like a Factory job

That turned out nice. Thanks for updating.

I had a major set back on the project. I had it to the point of test driving it around the neighborhood and everything was going fine and I was about to start the prep for the bed and notice when I removed some tape from the doors the clear came off with it. So I started putting tape all over the truck and snatching the tape off and it was just the doors that it was happening on. Then I remembered I used some Universal Clear that was recommended but I guess it did not like my basecoat. I could not find the clear I usually used locally. So I sanded the doors and scuffed the rest of the truck (the good areas) and repainted the whole thing to ensure I don't have any more issues.

Here is my makeshift paint booth



Repainted





Got things back together

Got the seat back today.
Here is a before pic and you can see the marks made on the seat of the changes I wanted made. I also had the seat back cut down about an inch so that is not stick up when you look through the big back window (its a pet peeve of mine).




Close up
Well I got the headliner installed. I did it a little differently because I did not want that black gasket that goes around it.

Here is a pic of the seat installed as you can see I had the seat back cut down about an inch so that is not sticking up when you look through the big back window. Like I said that is a pet peeve of mine.
