Thanks, I think?

Still fine tuning the cab. Blocked it fixing a few spots and making sure all of the factory spot welds are no longer visible. Should have it completed by Sunday. Last night I took the rear end and suspension out so I can start on the 4 link

Finishing?  You mean blocked out and ready for paint or more than that?  Either way its exciting to get your baby back in tip top shape, eh?

As in the prep work all done. I nit picked every single little detail on the cab. No visible spot welds etc. It's looking good!

I just came in from my garage. It was about 75° in there. I have a wicked heating system and it's insulated. Oh and it's about 20° here right now

I am sure Vile earned it, jealous no, envious maybe...  Someday I will have a nice shop with a lift, got the land, plans and money saved.  I just am not 100% sure I want to stay in NW Indiana when I retire.  I would love to get relocated back to Texas and then set up for retirement...

Well I have about 260 hours into the cab since September and it will be ready for paint Wednesday. I just have to spot prime a few areas and she'll be done. FINALLY!
