Ok so i managed to save some og clips and also bought after market clips, prior to installing clips on trim i formed it against cab so it hugs it close

I used the og clips in the corners they work so good compared to repop, and i spread the legs out on repops as well

Been subscribed for some time now and just "re-cruised" the entire thread. Great testimony for someone's ability to do superb work in their own garage. This kind of thread keeps us all going. Thanks.

Such an awesome truck..i can just stare at the pictures. I want to rip apart my truck and start over when I look at this.

have you done the painting in your garage, so not a special dust free booth?

Thanks everyone! yeah most of it was painted in the garage and some out in the driveway. to be honest I got less dust and garbage in the paint when I painted outside lol. its not perfect in anyway but I don't show my vehicles just drive them plus most of it buffs out anyway!

tpi Great build thread, my bro-law sprays out side early in the AM claims less stuff in the paint. Think for my build I may give it a go! Trees in bloom, I live at 6020 elevation, near Park City Ut. Those photos gave me spring fever real bad. Thanks Nut Case
