Thanks Dan.

I took a couple of close-ups today. You can see a little peel in there but there just isn't much.

57 swb. I installed my a/c. I put the under dash unit against the back cab wall(it did not look good and stuck out to far under the dash), between the bucket seats. I would rather have it blow cold air on me, however it cools the cab. I prefer to keep the dash open and not try to stuff the a/c under the dash is why I went with the under dash unit.

Softpatch,

Looks like you've got your work cut it for you - no pun intended. Roger's green truck IS freaking nice but yours can look just as good. Here on this board you'll get lots of encouragement and good advice. Some of the best I got from Bam(Kabwe) telling me to just keep working at it. Your skills will get better bit by bit, and incredibly mine have. I'm a total hack compared to Roger and Bam and a lot of other guys here but my work is satisfying me. My truck has new metal where it needed new metal and I'm not covering up crap with filler so I suppose that's all that really matters.

Start that "Patches" thread, we'll be looking for it!

Got some work done on the new frame. Had some new rails bent up to go along with the PorterBuilt Fab front and rear coil-over suspension kits!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

ChuckDriver....ok, so I'm just surfing around and I end up finding the last batch of pics you posted, I haven't paid attention to the title of the site I'm on, but I swear it's got to be something to do with NASA.

Just my weird way of saying "wow" without actually saying it.

WOW, Jim

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Got to be the most awesome TF frame I've ever seen.
Nice job!!!!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Looking good JJ...Jim

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

Jim, if you use NASA to describe my build, then I must say you're building a colony on Mars!!

Thanks guys!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

JJ,
What he's saying is your build is, "out of this world!" Lol

By the way, since I've never ever asked you before what WERE your color plans for your truck when it was going to be a stepside and what have they changed to (if they have) now that it will be a Cameo.......or whatever Jimmy "Cameo's" we're called?

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
 

I'm gonna raise the bar again....;)

I rarely post on this thread except for monumental achievements. Yesterday was time for bed installation. I have a friend, Gary, who has been wanting to participate on my truck build, I am so glad he came over, we got the bed on the truck with no issues.

During my build I knew I wanted two tone, I've seen many different ways to split the colors. I chose to follow the main body line but as we all know, the rear fenders drop this body line some 3 or 4 inches. Up til the last day I finally decided how I was going to blend the pin stripes together. Pictures tell the story.

That's the outcome, I don't like to clutter this thread, I'll post the rest of the pics on my build thread listed below. Jim
