UPDATE! I been hitting this cab hard for the past 3 days now.I got the roof almost done I gotta cut some steel stock so i can make the oval shaped plugs for the cowl since the truck doesnt have power windows and i`m not going to put them in.So its comming along nicely.I`m hoping to have it close to being done by the end of the month.I come home from work at 3am and dont go into the house till like 5am then get up at 12 and go back at it for another 2 hours.But i`m excited i`m gonna have the 454 finally friday.This truck has to be done for 2011 to take to ocean city maryland i gotta get ti done.

Thanks rob,
yeah its moving slowly forward.Maybe by next month i can build a small homemade booth and get primer on the cab , that would be the biggest jump since getting the frame done and making it a rolling chassis.I am considering having the 454 sent out in a couple of months so if that gets done i`ll paint it along with the tranny and install them both and i can pluck away little by little on the fuel lines, the fuel cell, brake lines etc.I like to at least get the body done and get the motor built this year , if i can do that i`ll be very happy.Most of the body panels are new so just swapping skins on the doors and doing a little filler work to the fenders and hood and then building the bed sides and repairing the parts so im hoping by the end of the fall early winter the body n motor is done.

thanks
