Truck looks great.

Any chance you have pics of the insides of the doors showing how you set up the 1 piece windows (tracks/regulator/etc.) ?

Sorry, just saw your reply. Just diagnosed with lyme disease which has kicked my butt for a few weeks. I will try and take some pics of how the glass is mounted but unfortunately most of it is internal to the door and difficult to see.

Was able to paint the inner fender wells and the bottom of the hood. A few ghost flames as well. Flames are much brighter in the pictures than they really are.

Decided to put together a square tube grille. Used 1/2 square tube and spaced them 3/4 of an inch apart. Still need to finish the final fit.

Got the final fit completed. Fit one side and transferred it to the other end with a cardboard template. Pretty happy with the final result. Going to paint it in satin black.

This weekend I got the fenders hood and grille mounted. Thanks for the compliments on grille. Pictures don't do it justice but it looks good installed and I was never a fan of the factory grille

Finished painting the bed and rear fenders. Completing the body work on the running boards and tailgate. Hopefully can drive it before winter hits.
