Thanks for the kind words. My truck will be pretty but it will be a “work of check” not a work of art.

You’re building yours yourself which I truly admire. On my thread I relate the family circumstances that caused me to have others build the majority of mine but suffice to say if I’d done it, it wouldn’t be as far along and it likely wouldn’t be as nice as yours.

One minor additional piece of advice (yeah, I know you didn’t ask for one!) do the work to a higher standard than you otherwise might because you will HATE re-doing stuff later if you keep it long term and decide you want a shiny, showy-er truck then.

Really enjoying watching your build!
