Hello Rick, I finished sanding the one front fender then flipped the hood over and sanded the underside, I have one more round of sanding to go on it then I can polish it..

That glass guy better not scratch it or we'll have to scratch him.

I was talking with him yesterday, he's looking forward to putting the glass in, I think I'll hang some padding if I can on the front cowl to protect the paint

Are you having the glass installed before setting the cab on the frame?

Yes I am Rick, should make it easier to install with nothing in front of the cab. Will be installing the back window too..

I have the doors off the cab right now so will even be easier and less chance of damaging anything and can lift it higher if need be..I put the box on with another fixture I make..
