Re: [B]65 Stepside Frame off Resto[/B]

Man, that looks Great!
Progress is awesome, even if it is in small doses... I empathize with you over the life stuff...
Didn't get to Harbor Freight yesterday due to rescheduling, but will be picking up that grinder and getting on that fender soon, thanks again for the info.

Looks great.
I know what you mean by "life getting in the way".
Poor 'ol Bompenstein feels abandoned.

Doors look great on the cab.

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing the fender patch all ground down.

It's too bad there is that cash flow thing, life would be much more fun without it. Looking forward to your week off, Bompenstein will be happy!

Thanks on the doors. Couldn't believe it took hours to fit and adjust the doors. Thankfully there are hammers and wood blocks for the fine tuning.

Thanks! I was relieved that they did fit like they did. With them coming off another truck and replacing the driver's side skin they turned out pretty good. As I always say, rather be lucky than good!

The right door on mine fits pretty good, but the left door is really bad and it's the orignal door. The curve near the gas fill hole isn't even shaped to match the door. I have to fix it. Plus need to fill the large gaps.
I'll post pictures on my build thread when I do it.
