It's going to be a shame to cover up all the beautiful work out of view anyway but it's going to be so cool.

(tipped your cab pic).

Cab got a little teaser of color this weekend. Not the blue I’m going with but a pint I bought cuz I thought it’s what I wanted. Put some color behind door hinge areas and backside of hinges. Gonna hang the doors for the final time and leave hinges on cab. All 4 doors, hood, and fenders are blocked and ready for 2k. All the more closer to final prime and paint. Super excited.

Hung 3 of the 4 doors and hauled the cab home this weekend. All I managed to do was spray some cavity wax in the roof and mount the cab lights. Spent the rest of the day just drooling over it… took almost 4 years to get to this point but I’m very pleased so far… slowly turning my dream truck into reality

Have you figured out where you are going to get weather stripping for your custom doors?

**ShortbedClayton** · 05-12-2022, 12:49 PM

Last round of pics for awhile. Hoping to hit it hard I’ve the next couple months and get this thing looking like a truck. I think I spent the last two days just staring at it..

This is quite a build! Thanks for taking the time to post about it. Your work is very clean and I like how you recreate or mimic factory details.
