Wow, that's looking real nice, makes me want to kick myself in the butt and get going a little faster on my panel, when do you think you'll have it driveable?

I am putting it away until spring as I don't have a heated garage to work on it. I plan on getting it running this spring and so if I can keep moving I hope to have it drivable by October of Next Year. Got a lot of work to do to make that happen though!

Not nearly as much as I do and I have a heated shop,lol, anyways your truck is looking pretty awsome. I'm I starting to sound envious lol. Hope you have an early spring so you can get back on it.

Nice paint! How do the cables attach to the tail gate? As in, are there nuts on the other sides of those bolts? How long are the cables? Thanks!

Looks awesome. Too bad it has to wait till spring. We don't have that issue here in TX. Sadly I sweat to death in the summer instead.
