Lot's going on right now with it.
Issues with windshield gaskets currently. Here is the latest shot of it prior to the windshield going in. I've addressed those on the build thread.

I haven't taken any others yet because I want this issue behind me.

Thanks guys!
We're almost done.
I've addressed the windshield problem in detail on my build thread. Click the link below. It's a problem that I've not seen posted here. Hopefully, others can avoid it by not doing what we did.

Re: It's finally home!

All I can say is awesome awesome awesome. There must be something about these trucks that take the body shop so long to finish. I got all Pi*sy
when my truck was hostage for two years.

Thanks very much. It's been a great journey.

I've learned alot about body shops and how they schedule.
Insurance jobs take presidence. Better pay on those, and time constraints.
Then comes the big money guys.
Then, concerned, willing to work around everything else customers. I showed up every week regardless to let them know I was around. I helped during the final stages and got to know them very well.
The shop I deal with don't deal well with guys that don't get along. There were times that I wasn't pleased, but I kept it to myself.
