Well, I was supposed to be off to go on a float trip, but it fell through. I had put in for the time off work, so I took Friday off anyway. Got a lot done, including the big buy for the main paint job! Saturday was a big day, got a lot of yellow on, like the core support, door and hood hinges, etc. Boppa, Uncle Matt and Neighbor Jay came over and GOT IT ON! All the cab stuff is switched over and it runs and drives. The core support was also installed with the battery box. I worked from 9 in the am until 1130 that night. The bed was also reinstalled for test fit. Lots of stories, but here's a few pics.
This is our new old hood to replace the original hood that got killed between blasting and handling. Tried this and it worked pretty well, just have the blaster do the underbraces and deal with the rest the old fashioned way, 80 grit on a DA pad and a drill. Worked out great.
Yellowy goodness!

Me and Boppa at the end of the day. Yes, I was tired. But look behind me, I DROVE it into the garage. In fact, I drove it over to Neighbor Donnie's and stashed it tonight!
Got the hood 150 blocked and primed 2x today and the fenders completed today. Hopefully getting cut in tomorrow. Cab and bed fit aint great, cab is about 1/2 in. lower, we'll have to space it up or sumpthin'. All eyes on next Friday, we'll be at paint, then we can kinda relax a bit.
