I appreciate that. I am super proud of any awards, publicity or notoriety I have received in my career and or hobby. I try not to make it sound as if I am bragging about any of it.

good for you on the trophies. i won't tell anybody. lol.
I'm always up to give paint advice. I worked for PPG as a training instructor up until 2020 when due to Covid they closed several training centers. I loved that job.

Sort of where the bolts that attach the bed side to the front panel are. They contoured a flat panel that followed the edge of the cab, with about an 1/8-1/4 inch gap to the cab. It was subtle but got rid of that gap you can see from the side.
I guess there are many ways to get this done. Below is how I went about it this week. I didn;t get super crazy closing the cab to bed gap as this will be a driver and don;t want there to be any issues ever of them coming in contact due to chassis flex. Although I would like to think that boxing the frame and the X member it will have little flex now.
