Looking good! Is your buddy giving you a good deal on price? If so the you really can't complain.

My 54 was in the body shop from July 1998 to August 1999 the first time I got it painted.

Are those the same rear fenders that you had widened ? If so they look great. Your truck is going to be awesome. Good job !!

Finally got to bring her home. Time to put bed on and rear fenders. Paint looks great, I'm not too happy with my bottom door alignment to the cowl and cab corner on the passenger door. I'll post pics of that area tomorrow
