yes door panels are wrapped in leather...I wanted the stock look with a little more wow to it. The dollies are no longer available, built buy a company out of Canada that is no longer in business. They wouldn't be hard to build...

Them being wrapped actually give the edges of the plastic panel more 'depth'. The edges are nice & rounded vs. the sharp edge plastic typically has.
It's a nice detail when executed properly.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I have been trying to calculate the measurements from the pics you have to fab my own. i don't like the ones currently on the market that you just attach to existing 4 wheel dollies/skates.

Are you planning on running the Silverado lower trim panels on the door or a derivative thereof? A leather covered one with a polished/chrome strip at the top or are you leaving the bottom of the door naked?

We have discussed that but I’m not 100% sure yet...as for now it’s staying naked. I just like simplicity of it, not to over done

WOW!!! This has to be one of, if not, the best/most thorough builds on this site! Breathtaking work you have done. A piece of art.

I'm gonna go throw rocks at my truck. Hahaha.

I had no idea what I was in for when I read your first post about hauling it off to the shop. What a ride, and what an amazing truck. Thank you for keeping us up on it.
