Like I said earlier, they have a great design. The tall web and the full width makes it strong and stable. They have some really good products.

I can’t wait to see yours in the road.

You are making great progress.

I like the way you integrated the steering column into the dash.

Got the hidden pop up gas cap installed kind of hidden I was going to install it in the fender but I was afraid I would bend the finder if someone or myself would hit bump into the pump hose while I was refilling the tank with these paper thin imported parts . Also I will be painting the cap

got the engine trans tunnel made and fitted now I'm waiting to pull it apart to finish installing it. also made a funny looking air filter box i never like to way a lot of hot rods with EFI have there air filter just hanging out there like an after thought a race car or a HP car its fine to have it hanging but a cruiser its not me so I made this funny looking airbox lol i wanted roundish shape to match the era. I also made it so half of large filter is hidden inside the inner finder getting some of the air from the louvers on the front radiator support plus i will be adding more louvers and holes later

got the bed primed

well i had some issues with the factory roof metal plus i didn't like the way it look
it looked more like an old Chevy truck with a bid dome not like a ford flat roof so i desided to do it over

now i got the new roof on for the 3rd time now i am finishing up metal work and removing pain


got most of the paint off now i see i have a lot more work to do
hope to find time this weekend to hammer out all the dents and paint removal so i can get it primed

Nice work. It is good to see you continuing to make progress.

I really like your lift and your method of hanging the cab.
