Drilled holes for plug welding the new strips.

Removed one offending fender bolt (offender?) which is right where the strip needs to go.

Hung the doors on the cab, and sat on some lumber to make some vroom vroom noises.

Placed the inner fenders and front fenders just to gaze once again at the awesome hard park height. Hoping to get the bed on soon.

General tidying of the shop.
How'd you get so productive? That's a month's worth of work for me! I'm lucky if I get part way through the vroom vroom noises before I'm out of time. And general tidying of the shop? Please! That never happens.
