Wow, those running boards are mint! I had to replace all the hat channel supports and mounting locations on mine.

I have an original black grill that is just as nice. I think I will run the chrome re-pop one because I want to give it a brushed finish to match the rest of the brushed bright-work. I will probably coat the running boards with raptor liner this weekend. My family leaves tomorrow for 5 days so I see a lot of garage time in my future.

Pretty productive weekend. I got the last of the sheet metal coated on the backside with Raptor liner. I added it to the front fenders, the front splash pan and the running boards. Only the backside of the hood it next.

My friend Josh that is a fabricator at my friends hotrod shop came over Sunday to lend a hand. He as been helping me fab an exhaust system out of 2.5" SS with Hooker Blackheart mufflers. We also set my pinon angle to verify clearances of the drive shaft to the exhaust. He has just about got the more difficult part handled. He fits onsite and welds at the shop....Comes back and repeats the process. Once the exhaust is done I will drop the body back on...

I will get some pics of the Raptor Lined body parts.
