Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
DMAX it shall be! Thanks guys
As far as the door skin, yes it is a new outer door skin that I have cut the correct length, but will still need some tweaking. I figured this way I could do the bodywork front and back until its right. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
A member asked to see my roof currently. I am adding truck headliners into the cab, thus why so much cut out.

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
More inner roof pics. Took a little bit to figure out my transition to the door pillars. Also, got my porterbilt firewall filler panels in and started to attack them. Trevor

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Roof is looking great, RU welding that inner skin above your head? I guess flipping a cab that big would be a problem!

Re: Project: Big Grapefruit
Nope, I have the outer roof skin off, so I am able to weld from the top and hammer and dolly as well.
