Your paint looks great. It is going to be a super nice truck.

I've found there's
so much on this end of the build that needs to be massaged to fit. For instance I installed the lock cylinders today, but of course they wouldn't fit into the doors due a thick finish. So 10 minutes work was about two hours.
The other day I installed the A/C vents assisted by an orange (literally) and heat gun
That worked well, but I was reminded of the arthritis in the thumbs screwing the vents on. On a side, perhaps GM installed the duct hoses on the vents with a dash of glue? Seems all my vents had some, but it doesn't appear necessary, I don't see these coming off unless it's on purpose. I had to buy a "new" RH vent bezel. Of course that didn't quite fit right either, another spot for the heat gun. But wow am I impressed with GM parts, it's really good stuff. Far and away better than even luxury cars today.
