made a lil more progress today! btw, repop doors suck! they are so flimsy due to not having reinforcement behind th handles like factory, but some heat shrinking helped! :chevy:

yea, but honestly, with that intense of a paint job, the trucks not going to be my daily anymore, its going to be more of a weekend cruiser, id hate to have to fix a rock chip or scratch in that, and i plan on getting dust covers for behing the wheels as well,
