Do you guys know where a decent white fridge for a great price is? I have the running gear to make it 4x4 and complete my patriotic set. LOL

Oops door progress

Reworking the door. Paint either tomorrow or Friday...

I put the door on to match gaps and curvature. I also decided to test fit the seals using tape. They are snug but I did not have to move the door out of proper position. I DID however have to cut sections out of the LMC drivers side since it is moulded incorrectly for one piece fit...

Sporting primer

The door is my last piece! I still have some detail work such as bedliner and backup lights but it will be driveable soon!

Suicidal bugs

Today was my repaint day on reworking the drivers door. No less than 15 small flying insects went for the backstroke in both the base and clear. Its blue and shiny so I am satisfied.



Final coat on the last piece!!

The license plate light works surprisingly well

That is one sharp looking truck. Beautiful job.

Thank you for taking the time to make the thread, I’ve really enjoyed watching it come together and picked up a few things along the way.

Enjoy!
