 Finished up the passenger side scoop
 
  
 
  
 
 And got started on filling the gap under the doors.

 I spent some time yesterday applying a little body filler on the rear fenders. Today I sprayed them and the bed tubing with some rustoleum prof grade bed liner. I like the way it turned out.

 Apparently Block Hugger headers and urethane engine mounts do not play well together!
 
  
 
  
 
  
 
 Wrapped the headers where they immediately surround the motor mounts. If the mounts do not melt any further, then I will install new ones.
 
  
 
 Also boxed in the area between the front of the radiator and the back of the side air scoop to keep hot engine compartment air away from the front of the radiator.

 Nice work! That stinks about the mounts. Hopefully that wrap will eliminate the melting for you. The fenders look great!Ryan

 I don't think I've seen a mount do that before. Perhaps when you do replace them, you might add in a simple metal heat deflector, to shield the mount.
 
 It could mount under the same fasteners as the mount??

 Took the Single Cab to a small local car show today.

 I am making a big push to get this truck finished up. I have it up on the lift to cross things off a long list of minor items. I am also going to pull the cab off to finish up some welding on the underside.

 First on the list is sectioning out a 4" section of the under seat A/C compartment. It is deeper than I need and cuts into my ground clearance.

 Also, finally getting around to finishing the bottom of the doors and moving the lower hinge up a few inches. Can't wait to trim off all that extra metal.

 Here are a few shots of the underside.

 While I am at it, I will check that every nut and bolt is tight.

 Very nice work. It will look sweet with that lower bit cut off and the hinge moved up for sure!Ryan
