looking good, keep at it and you'll be done
just curios, do you retain the original truck vin tag somewhere? A pillar?

My style is more about being mechanically sound and making it look cool. I'm not rechroming anything. I do know what you're talking about though. The side bumper bolts are actually in place to adjust the space between the fender and bumper. The carriage bolts have 2 nuts and flat washers so I can adjust the distance they pull or push on the fender.

The Saab Vin was removed to make room to fit the panel truck body. I cut it off and stuck it in the glove compartment. You'll only find the vin plate for the panel truck in the door jamb.
