Anyway i got a little work done on the truck: got all the pinholes in the passenger wheel arch filled and duraglasses that side( not done yet)... I also got the drivers arch in and the inner wheel arch in using panel bond and got the exhaust cut and got the tips where i want them....

Pour some bar and chain oil in those doors before you reassemble. Or motor oil. Or Fluid Film. Anything you can coat in the bottom that will prevent the problem from happening again.

Nice work. It all looks great!
