Because this is my daily driver the idea is for them to get it painted and back to me in one week while I am off work for summer vacation.

I'm hustling but I think I can still make the date. Anything that doesn't get done I'll just have to ask them to do.

I pretty much got everything done that I wanted to other than a couple big dents in the doors. They will have to take care of those for me.

I replaced the cab corners:







The corners had been filled with that "Great Stuff" expandable foam. It was nasty; kind of like having a dead ground hog stuffed up in there....









I used panel adhesive to attach the patch panels:
