Wow, that's looking real nice, makes me want to kick myself in the butt and get going a little faster on my panel, when do you think you'll have it driveable?

I am putting it away until spring as I don't have a heated garage to work on it. I plan on getting it running this spring and so if I can keep moving I hope to have it drivable by October of Next Year. Got a lot of work to do to make that happen though!

Nice paint! How do the cables attach to the tail gate? As in, are there nuts on the other sides of those bolts? How long are the cables? Thanks!
