Re: my build
ok today we dident get as much as i wanted to but thats ok its thanksgiving
we put the weatherstripping on both doors...it dident take long at all to do it, it just took forever to take all the tape off. there are still a few spots that did not stick very good but that can be fixed |

Re: my build
Your truck is lookin good. I wouldnt cut the dash for a cd player youll regret it. id hang it under the dash or something. Thats just my opinion though. Definatly dig'n the red though great choice.
