Removed my rear fenders in preparation to working on my bed. I didn't like clutch head bolts before, now I really really don't like them, LOL.

Bob, looks great. Nice improvement IMO.

I started installing my carpet and worked on my speaker pods that go into the kick panels. I also finished wiring up my interior lights through the door jam switches.

Speedbump, Looks cool! Love what you did with the paint on the body line difference. I dislike the curved down line, no imagination.

Detail work, painted the dash with wrinkle paint,, inside steps with spray bed liner, detailed door jambs, took the bed off to begin painting the frame and install the new gas tank. Discovered my cross member that the shocks bolt to is bolted in, instead of riveted, one sides bolts were loose, so thinking new grade 8s and nylocks may keep that from happening again.

Started install my jute pad and carpet. I have a center console that will cover the seam in the middle. I also test fit one of my speaker pods. Car show in (2) weeks so I'm in trash mode...ha ha

Sanded the steering wheel first epoxy coat and applied second. Worked on cleaning up the tailgate cable bracket welds. Guide coated and blocked the bumpers. Feels like progress.

I finished one speaker pod and mounted the speaker. I'm working on the driver side now. This was my first attempt at making fibergalss speaker pods. I learned a lot.

Spent nearly $1,000 in parts today buying everything from cab corners to bed mounts. Fingers cross that the bulk of the buying is now done.

For my and my wife's birthdays (we are only a couple weeks apart) her family bought almost all of the exterior lighting for the truck, so that is exciting, too!

Thanks man, I learned a lot. I still need to make a cover to cover up my computer for my engine seen in the pic. I also need to figure out the back of the cab.
