Looking good Jim !!
Keep up the good work.
Now your 'Wrecking Ball" photo was great !! I am glad you didn't pull a Miley and strip down to your underwear and go topless. Because that would have been Wrong in so many ways.
LOL

Today I prepped the cab floor ... The outside is finished with Raptor liner black
Over all I'm happy with the product and it really made the underside of the cab floor come together and look finished
