Nice Job!
I really appreciate the encouraging words. The more people who interact with me on these build threads, the more motivated I stay. I can't very well live with myself if I drop the ball in front of half the members on the board.

I've been polishing the sides that show when installed on the truck. If I have enough polish left over though, I'll do a real quick clean up on the back sides though. Just so I have something pretty to look at while I'm underneath the truck doing work in the future. Not a full blown job like I've done to the outsides, just a little tune up.

Which reminds me, I need to grab a pair of stock dually wheels and blast and powdercoat them black for the inside wheels on the back. I don't want anything but black showing through the holes in the outer Alcoas.
