Hey you mentioned ages ago about some new door seals from Precision. I'm real keen to see some pictures of them when you get round to fitting them. The trucks coming together really well. The experience and planning learned from your other builds is really showing on this one.

Now I see why you took the time to cut and buff the frame. Wowzer!!! It all looks great, Mike! You going to have a way to show off all your frame, linkage, and suspension work in the bed?

you could sand blast those covers with a verry fine kind of medium
that way you get rid of those toolmarks in the pockets and get a kindoff satin cast look back for it same as the supercharger , you could paint and clearcoat them after to make them eazier to keep clean

What an awesome day to spend some time with you and Sarah and the rest of the gang at the shop.

At least I can say I touched Bertha and dribbled all over her chassis.

This is the best week of my life so far spending time in Arkansas.

Thank you !!
