Took a road trip to KC Saturday and picked up all new glass for the truck. Weird driving through KC and not having much traffic. Curb side service at LMC and 10% off for ordering 24 hours in advance.

Went by the shop on Friday to see the progress. They are really working on seams and making sure it is straight. Happy that they are picking up and fixing small things that will make a big difference. Of course, I would like to see it moving faster, but I know it will be worth the wait.

Didn't take any pics, but I decided to go ahead and try to install the new rubbers in the vent windows. I read that they are a bear to get back in, but I put a little Dawn soap on them and they took all of 5 minutes to put on. Once I get the chrome pieces figured out I can tackle the rivets.
