We had so much fun
we decided to go ahead and put the radiator support, doors, and fenders on to make sure everything fit. Suprisingly, it all fit back together very well.

very nice, You had a good weekend to get a lot done. Did you use regular automotive paint for the frame, or something special?

Thanks Randy. As he said, I had the frame powder coated Viper Red and the springs and such done in a grey hammer.
The truck itself will be Viper Red as well. Long ways to go before paint! I'll post pics when the bed is on. I sure wish I could find a rust free drivers fender for that bed!! LOL
