That paint is stunning! Sometimes I think I should have painted my 81 back to santa fe tan.

flush rear window is in

That looks great! Did the flange require any modifications for this install? What does it look like from the inside? I guess the interior trim would cover any differences...

we tweaked it a bit...it comes with a rubber gasket to go inside the truck but I didn't want a seam and look kinda cheesy. So we built a frame that goes on the inside of the truck and it covers the gap. we painted it satin black and comes just close to the glass but doesn't actually touch it

OK, Thanks! To me your solution looks better that a gasket would have.

This work of art is a game changer. Very impressive.

thanks....here is a few more pics, we got the cab set on the frame

Nice looking goood great job

thanks....had her outside working on her tan...

The number of awards this build should win is enumerable. Almost 8 years of work (so far)... I wouldn't have the patience, but MY GOD this truck is stunning. The fabrication work, and attention to detail is through the proverbial roof and then some.

thanks man...we spilled a little paint on the floor tonight

I follow the car show circuit this truck could and should qualify for a Great 8 to contend for the Ridler Award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The craftsmanship and detail is their

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't qualify because they have shown too many pictures of the truck.

Bed parts getting painted

Dynamat is finished and we are starting to pull our wire, lol

some bungs installed in the valve covers for my vent lines to run to my remote breather

inner fenders and a few other under the truck goodies getting painted satin black

At first glance I thought the Dynamat was Cheetah print carpet. I had to slow down to look better :D
