    Lookin good, Dan...were you able to repair the front sheetmetal from the "deer incident" or did you replace it? Maybe a big ol' protective cow-catcher is in order to protect from further deer damage...yeah, make it from .25"X3" pipe and chrome it?.......maybe not.

    Looks nice. When friends help the world is good. And pic 2 - "this is how easy the windshield goes in" - just push lightly with the fingertips...

    I cant see a damn thing in those pics and this is a new monitor. Is it just me or are you guys photosoping it.
     
  7. Thanks guys, I only replaced the drivers side front fender and hood,the rest I straightened.I did however go to tulsa and buy a rust free truck just to get those parts.I decided as long as I was doing it my self I'd use the money to redo the whole truck.All new weatherstripping,new glass,new carpet,new POWER brakes,smooth hood,shaved handles,frenched in headlights,frenched in taillights,filled cowl vent,shaved wipers,smoothed door jambs,smoothed firewall.

    Man do I hate sanding.Thank God for good friends.
