Finally coming together

Well its been a 5 year build lol. Ive owned the truck since 2000. Spent 10 years tore apart in about 5 different places. But I hope that's all coming to an end. Here is a few current pics and I will post some of the build pics later. Its been fun and exhausting at times. The paint booth in a two car garage takes up a lot of room. But well worth it. Im hoping to finish up this weekend with the bed assembly!!!!!
