I have started to paint and hopefully will finish it all this weekend, just doing it in my shop which seems to be getting rather crowded. I have to roll the box out each time I spray a piece and cover some of the others with plastic sheeting to protect from over spray. The house is slowly being littered with painted parts so assembly will soon have to take place after it's all wet sanded and polished..

John, I just went thru your entire thread again. On the forward tilt hood you installed, is there any issues with the front of the hood contacting the face of the grill in the open position? Lots of clearance, or can you smash hood and grill together if your not careful?

You have to be careful or the hood can contact the grill, I set the prop rod so it doesn't hit..

That is going to be one good looking truck. You are doing a great job. You are inspiring me to do my best on one that I am doing for my father-in-law, thanks.
