Thanks man and I'm sad to say the truck will not be at the brothers show this year. The event sold out and I could not get a spot. I will be there for sure I wish I could have taken the truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

great looking truck! I have a big window 56 with both a step bed and a fleet 58 bed and flip and flop between which I want. Your truck makes a strong argument for a fleet! bee-yoo-tee ful

Congrats on finishing the truck. Awesome build. Great documentation. I was beginning to think it was going to go over 100 pages.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

The Electric Windows are installed and working properly. I had the glass custom cut to a template I made. The store bought glass just did not fit to my liking. The fits great now.

Man, that thing is beautiful. That rolling pic shows how much that pancaked hood improves the profile of a TF. You have got some impressive skills.
