Yep, my arms and shoulders were pretty dead yesterday. But having the cab this far is a big hurdle - it is by far the most labor intensive of the bodywork process and once it's painted we can set it on the frame and free up a little shop space.

I don't feel like my buckets feel any sportier or nicer than a bench - they just feel kind of bulky and out of place. The new black covers will make it much better, but the bench is classic like you said. But the console is a good place to hide my PCM and OBDII and for some other storage so it's not bad.
