Re: off it goes

a little bonding going on in the shop....stainless mesh bonded to the stainless trim rings, then tabs welded to hood openings and the finish product. Looks so much cleaner, they should look killer painted to match

The door gaps look amazing...around the entire door, GM failed in this area in a big way. Thanks for the update!

Re: off it goes

Wow, look at the gaps - reminded me of this old commercial with a Lexus on a rotisserie and the ball bearing rolling in the gaps?

I agree, this area never looks right. The other one is the body line from cab to bed. For some reason the sharp line on the cab goes away right before the bed. These look great in the pic as well. Very nice!

Re: off it goes

Are you using an old compressed door seal (with the latch too) to keep the doors in the correct shut position while your doing the blocking?
