Thanks Mike and Keith👍 Finally got the hood on. I'm hoping to finish with the front clip this weekend. I have more adjusting to do. The sheet metal never seems to go back on the same way 😁. Here's a couple more pics.

Nice job Mark, those gaps look perfect and the paint just looks so good

Wow, this project has come a long way since I last saw. Question, why do you wish you under coated before paint?

Thanks Dean👍 Thanks! You're not kidding LOL.. I got the complete front end together with nice gaps and went to install the cowl (very last thing) to find out I had 3/8" gap too much on the drivers side. I ended up loosening the complete front clip up and jockeying the drivers side of the cab over and readjusting everything. It turned out really nice. I will try to post some pics later today.

Yesterday I tore apart my stock steering column to sand blast it for PC and install new bearings and turn signal switch. The upper bearing was shot.
