Those look great!  Did you make those panels?  If so I would love to see some pics of how you did it.

It's molded plastic and was covered in tweed. After I peeled the skin off my knuckles a few times I decided to ditch the tweed.

No, these are not the door panels Chris sells. 15X12"s for $100 bucks sounds good. I could use a set of those.

Update, roll pan is welded in, right rear quarter and tailgate are almost done. The cab light and seam are gone. I'll post pix soon.

Well it's been a while since I updated but rest assured I have not been slacking by any means. In fact I've been skipping the gym to work on my truck and drinking beer and my pants are getting tight! Here's some pix... The cab light, drip rails, cab seam and every other unecessary hole is filled. The bed is ridiculous with the amount of work I've had to do to make it look right.

I was going to fill my seam in but i figured i`ll leave mine. Where the cab met up with the roof it was like at least a 1/8th inch off .I had to fill it all to mate it up the roof and while the filler was setting, i took my spreader and grooved the line so i can take my 80 grit and sand it out. But looking good vile, keep it up man.Are you going back to black?  Should look great once your done.

thanks
