I sure hope she does!

Thank you for the kind words. I keep learning little things on the forums every time I'm here.
Advanced Design - I tried just a touch of grease on the dies, that definitely helped. Thanks for the tip!
I've been back on the truck. First an update, tail pipes, I need opinions:
Obviously, I goofed my measurements and one is not like the other. I can't decide which one to fix! I'm thinking I will probably make Driver's match Passenger's, since I feel like I need more clearance to my track bar anyway (you can sort of see there, it's about 3/4" at closest). Thoughts?
Fuel lines are done up to the filter:
I tried about four different routings and ended up tossing the pieces I was working on, to fit the lines inside the frame, it just wasn't working to my satisfaction. I like this much better. 3/8" SS is a bugger to bend!!
Also, look back at the lines near the tank. It's going to be a massive pain if I ever have to service this thing once the bed wood is in ... still pondering on that, hoping to never have to maybe
It's going to be back into wiring nonsense here soon.
