starting from the back and working forward. got the compressors, tank and back valves ran for temping mounting brackets, got all the bed mounts made with fender brackets, ran mounts for shocks from the notch to lower link bars, starting on the fuel cell cage, built a one off license plate box and mounted that on the back of the bed offset on the rear window, now on to finishing all mock up on the cab and interior. Also put the front end back on to see how grill and headlights line up and they all look good on the new radiator core support i burned in a while back. I will take some photos and upload them later this week. ---

We cut out the entire floor and most of the inside of it, its basically fenders and a tailgate skin now. All metal, back tailgate skin is 12ga sheet, tailight fillers are 16ga and everything else is steel from the start. :thumbup ---

the only pictures I may have for you look like a month ago, except in paint. I am starting to strip the hole thing back down to the frame to undercoat it and paint all the suspension parts. Other than that just doning some wiring and starting to clean everything up.
