body mounts need adjusted still. Front is a hair low and the back is way to high. I'll get that dailed in as soon as I get these doors painted and installed. I have a few more pics but this uploading process is taking way to long so hope you guys can wait till tomorrow in which I should have a few new ones as well.

Thanks guys. Im burning the midnight oil to get this thing running. Pretty sure I'm clocking more hours in the garage then at work, lol. Was able to get some parts dyed red last night and the other door stripped and epoxyed along with the steering column.

You do your carpet first and let me know how it goes! I test fit mine yesterday and it looked great but I am still scared to start cutting for the gas pedal, dimmer switch, seat belt bolts, etc.....

If you were closer we could team up and get them done. The last truck I did the floor was drastically different and required much changes so after that this seems like it will be a breeze. But if I screw it up I'll be sure to let you know what not to do, lol.

Awsome job. Makes me want to go through mine again, but I Just finished a 7 year project on my hotrod, and the wife tells me I'm through for a while! I'll be sure to follow this one. Good Job!

Come on man- NC ain't that far away- I can get to your place in a day on the bike....

My test fit went well and it should be easy. My (likely unnecessary) worry is not having the carpet in the right spot for the first cut and then having it eternally out of place. I'm OCD and that would make me nuts.

The truck is looking awesome (yours, not mine)

Great progress. I love the paint combo for sure. How did the PB hinges work out with the capped wire track? I'm debating capping it off before or after I get my hinges.

It has taken more work to fit properly, but think I figured out the simplest way to make everything work properly. Just have to redrill the bucket holes up and the rest fits as normal. I'll post pics later

That would be very helpful. I like the clean look of the shaved channel but didnt want it to cause a major pain in the end.

Thanks everyone. I will get some pictures up tonight. Plan to get out there this evening and get the steering back in to see where my additional knuckle needs to be. Them on to the pedal linkage and finish master cylinder install. And much much more!
