I'm finally done buffing out the cab. This thing is a mile deep, looks like a brand new black bowling ball :)

Wow!! Amazing!!!
kudos to you and the family! Beautiful.. simply beautiful....
Its about time for an update.
I called over a bunch of friends and family and after I had the "you scratch I will shoot you" conversation we got the cab and chassis back together.

I'm shooting to have the rear cab surround, and the center console ready for upholstery by Friday. Saturday I have a few small wiring bits to tie up on the front chassis harness. Tuesday I'm driving to Temple to drop the seat off.
Great work, it is coming together very nice!
Dang! This is getting exciting!! Both thumbs up!!!
Glad to see seat frame fitting so nice in there. I hadn't heard anything for a few days and was beginning to wonder if it was OK or not. A sigh of relief to see you were just ultra busy on it. When you get it dialed in Dan an things settle down a little in your life Id like a few pics to post on the gallery of my site if that would be OK. Go Man Go! Looks really sweet Dan, Beautiful workmanship!
