Today I started on the fitting the doors. So far it wasn't too bad. I still need to do another side and the hood then make sure everything is square and lined up on the chassis correctly. After that I am sure there will be some more adjustments/tweaks to make.

The left side sheet metal is on.

I think the visor robs it of it's beautiful body lines and contours. Some guys like when girls where baseball hats some guys hate it. Some guys like visors, some hate em. Different strokes for different folks. I won't disrespect anyone's build over it but I might try to persuade you into not using it lol

Great build, looks like you're flying now.

However, you seem to have left a bird perch over the windscreen??

Only jesting, each to their own but I'm with Vile on this!

Personally, I like the look of those visors, I wish I could find one around here.  :P

Anyway, It's lookin' great! I hope my truck looks half as good as yours!

Got no real updates but I do have a picture of it outside getting some fresh air.
Doesn't look very sunburst orange with all those multi colored panels on it.
