I'm probably gonna use the paint shop that neighbors hotdog. He uses their booth to spray. They will do all the body work and spray the main color. I hope to use hotdog for some finishing touches. Although I believe paint to be a huge part of the build my goal is to stay out of painter prison!

As for progress, I got the rear end all bolted up. Driveshaft arrived from inland empire driveline and slipped right into place and bolted perfectly to my 1350 style yoke. For 25 extra I opted for the aluminum version although it wasn't necessary.

Next project is the exhaust so I can put the cab back on the frame and open up a little space in the garage. The hooker headers are set up to run 2-1/4 tube so I had a local muffler shop make some adaptors and intermediate pipe. I'm gonna need to cut to size and weld it up. It's all 2-1/2" tube with a crossover and flow master delta 40 mufflers all from summit. Not sure where I will dump, either out the side before the wheel or under the bed.
