In no way am I trying to tell you how to build your truck, but before you finish, do yourself a favor and look through Bam's build if you haven't already.

You clearly have some awesome skills, like ol Bam does.... but look at some of the subtle things he did to the cab to clean it up. The square notch on the doors just below the windows, rounded, the rain cutters cleaned up... on and on and on.... you are headed in the right direction with the cowl vent and smoothing the dash (me likes a lot). If I had that kind of skill I would rip what ever I could from BAM's build.... he might even let you call it yours !!!!! lol !!!

Nice work.
ps
you make me feel bad for not getting more done on mine, no more excuses!!!

First off i hope Bam doesnt find out you put me and him in the same skill boat!! lol I met bam back on another fourm, ive been following his stuff for awhile he does awesome work! And hey my truck is not in primer yet you dont know what im goin to do next! lol but really i like the rain gutters mine are not rusted so im thinking about keeping them. i also like the one on the firewall. ive thought about rounding the door corners and still might do it..the more i look at them the more i just like them the way they are.. ive still got a lot to do before i get the truck in primer so no telling what ill do lol
