Thanks Clem. It sounds sweet. We stopped the pipes at the mufflers for now and will run them out the back when I get the bed on.

Thanks Don.
I hauled it to the muffler shop but I did drive it on and off the trailer. And across the highway in town. I got a few looks. Haha

[dwcardfan]

Mocked up frontend and fenders.

[dwcardfan]

Other side.

[dwcardfan]

Also started putting peal and seal down.

Looks good. Its going to kill me to cover up my pretty floor after all that work scraping, welding, sanding, grinding and painting, but putting carpet over it anyways. I used whole roll on the firewall and figure the floor will take another whole roll and maybe part of a 3rd. Not sure what I am going to do with the back wall of the cab.

Closer & Closer Brother!!!

Thanks. The carpet just looks better to me.

Got the floor insulated!!!!

[dwcardfan]

Almost got the doors ready to paint. I was wet sanding them and found a few small dings that needed some glazing putty. Maybe they will be ready in a few days. I will post some pics when I get them shot.

[TJ's Chevy]

That thing is looking SWEET man!

[dwcardfan]

Not been getting a lot of truck time but I did paint a door and fender. My floor light quit working after my first coat of clear and I could not see that well so I have a couple of runs to sand down and buff out.
Oh well if it was easy everybody would do it.

[dwcardfan]

The door is the worst.

What is the seat from? Looks like a 2000-2006ish Silverado seat, which is what I was considering using. Plenty around, but I wasn't sure it would fit so have been hesitant to both sourcing one just yet.
