Ran out to the shop to check on the truck Friday. They have made a lot of progress on fit and body lines for the doors. Cab roof and back is all done. Bed will be getting final primer in the next day or so.

While I am waiting for the truck to return I decided to start cleaning up a few things for the under the dash re-install. I cleaned up the washer motor and all the ac vents that go under the dash. I ordered my new seat last week along with extra material so I can get the dash pad recovered and installed first.

Is there any reason I should wait to have the windshield installed after paint? The shop can have it done cheaper than I can, so I was thinking I would just have them install it prior to bringing it home.
