Very nice. It is going to be so nice I almost wouldn't want to drive it for fear of damaging something, almost.

Great job, keep up the amazing work. You keep us all motivated.

Cab is looking great! looks like you have your ducks lined up too. Got your cab done first so you can start putting it back together while the rest is in the body shop. I'm like the rest of these guys, it looks too nice.....try not to scratch it while your working on it.
