Bedliner done.  I have duct work all back in. Wiring all tucked away. Lights all operating properly.
Need to round up a rear bumper and some wheels and tires.

Well, that looks mighty nice!

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

So I've been thinking, ya know when you're listening to the radio and the DJ forgets to flip a switch or something and it goes silent no music just dead air. That's kinda where Mike is with his truck right now lol. It's so close to being finished I think he needs a little motivation or encouraging, so I need little help pushing on him please. I know some is money issues blah blah don't we all. And he is married to my daughter that in its self can be a handful, lol. But your truck needs you too so sad to see it sitting in the corner dust covered no love and attention. Just so sad.

Finish that truck up mike you are nearly done with it! I've had so many hurdles building my chevy truck, so many, but I stuck with it and it's nearly done too. hang in there , and start carving out time to work on big blue you have there. Take one day at a time with it. No matter how big or small the job is for the day try to knock something out everyday or every other day.... My truck has cost as much as a new plastic filled chevy to build.....pretty much..... It has cost me time, a lot of dough, and I'm married with children too, see where I'm going with this? All in all though at the end of the day my wife is excited for me.... Not so much for the truck though lol. Anyways. I wanted to write this to light a fire under your butt to get er done.....just imagine what it will be like to drive?! And hear the roar of the engine! Your almost done man DONT GIVE UP...... I know what it's like to put hours and hours into something and your still short of getting it done and short on cash, I understand..... Anyways, get that truck done !

Hey I paint painted the bowtie in grille body color and shot some bolts to start one by one changing them out with nice blue ones. Step at a time. Just wish I had some $ for the final pieces. Almost there.

Truck looks sweet. Where did you get the gauges and dash from? The interior would be the last thing I'm going to do on my truck, but no harm in looking for stuff now.
