I want to let the clear cure a little longer before applying the tailgate letters.

Just need to put the windshield and back glass in it, install the seat, do a little wiring and top off the fluids and it should be on the road. That, and a couple days of cutting and buffing. Apparently I reached the pinnacle of my spraying technique on my last truck as this one has been a struggle getting a satisfactory finish straight off the gun.

Very nice work!
Huge amount of progress in a short amount of time.
Sorting out the fit on the hood is great to see , I took note of how the rear brace and hood skin needed to be separated , pulled out, and welded back.
