Not long now

Just a few more pics on my progress as have not posted any for a while as I am nearing D -Day (drive day) I have it primed and ready for top coat which hopefully will be in the next few weeks





Managed to get my granddaughter in my truck for the first time as she was frightened of it, think she likes it now though and yes I know Iam sat at the wrong side to drive it lol

Looking good! Congrats on your progress. Great pic of you and your Granddaughter. Hopefully she'll not become afraid again when you fire it up! I'd love to see a video of D-Day!

Well done, your truck is looking tough, you must be starting to get anxious to drive it.
