Started stripping the frame



I just noticed one of my LCA's has a steering stop and the other doesn't. I forgot I replaced one once.

Let me know when you're up! I'll stock up on beers! Yes this is going to be black. I'm finally getting rid of all evidence this thing was ever blue. With that lip removed and the firewall tunnel even it should look pretty slick. Hopefully I'll have some good progress by the weekend.

Wait til you guys see the slick plan I have for the firewall  ;D I'm pulling the bed back off this weekend and am just going to pop the cab off so I can get the frame lookin mint even though I plan to build a new chassis down the road. I have so many other projects I just don't have the time to site there and massage this frame around body parts so it only makes sense. This truck is going to be so cool!  :P
