How about a black top instead of white?

Nice chop and fender and tailgate mod. It gives it a real "one of a kind don't know what exactly you did" look. You're definitely a sheetmetal craftsman!

I don't know if you were serious about the black top... but I like the contrasting colors. Not sure about black and white though.

The black is just a guide coat so I can start blocking the roof. ;D

A few shots with the bed set in place and the fender thrown on.

Thanks, and I had not noticed I was a candidate for TOTM until you pointed it out. I know they usually have to be running so I don't check it out that often. ;D

Hey guys, I need some help. I am trying to get my doors finished up but I need some info. Since my window doesn't roll all the way up I am left with a gap between the glass and door.



All I have to do is widen that portion of the pillar which is no problem but I don't know how far. Can someone measure how far their glass extends into the door channel? Remember I don't have any weather stripping so measurements need to be from the door edge. A picture would be awesome if possible. Thanks!

I don't remember if you mentioned exactly how much you ended chopping this truck.  I think it is a perfect amount, not too radical, just enough to make someone wonder "what's different here?"
