You'll be glad you redid the top. Good decision.

I'm sure I will. I picked up some of the Napa stoneguard as there is one area that would benefit from some texture touch up. From what I've read it appears the correct color is GM 521 White. Cant seem to get a handle on the correct sheen. Is it satin, semi gloss or somewhere in between?

Some progress to report. Front fenders and grill are on and the interior is mostly installed.

This is just a very solid build.

Really close now. I changed my mind several times about the wheels and tires I wanted. In the end I went with the ralley wheels with 33 x 10.5 tires. Im happy with it. Too bad the blue will have to come off the lettering, it kinda goes with the truck.

Pretty much wrapped up under the hood. I confirmed what I already knew from my Camaro days that repop tower clamps suck. I'm getting better though I've learned that if you lube them up good and run them in once outside the car the failure rate is much lower. Only lost a couple this time around. Next up alignment and exhaust.
