The second guy is Jazzed ready to go,. and the way i see it enthusiasm is 50% of the whole job.
Waiting for feeddback on his schedule.
I just ordered from ( Lokar, reasonable $$ ), their floor / tranny mounted Hand Brake Lever, 16" tall.
Just waiting for all of it to come together.

for what it's worth to anyone:
The 41 is heading to the Paint shop tomorrow after work for it's new dress up colors.
I gave a 11 X 17 full color photograph of the truck w/ paint codes, instructions, and my budget figure. ( see attached, ok well don't ) , to the painter two weeks ago to kind of psyche him up some. They seem jazzed about my color choices and my design....

Reinstalled the hood tonight, had ( KC )Welding Plus, repair any hood hinge metal tears,
checking out the fit & reveal spacings.

Very Stressful , exciting, clean out the glove box, remove the wipers, the passenger peep mirror, tons of Little detail stuff that will pay Big dividends in the end, hopefully the pocketbook & results.

This is all new so I'll just enjoy it , beats the options.
I'll miss carrying around a can of primer and cardboard for those 'on the fly ' touch ups !
but ' I'm as ready as Betty ' no offense to anyone .

Great looking truck, hope you gave the man a tip!!! Well, at least a dozen donuts!!!

Well done--------------Two Thumbs Up !!

Thanks , I'm tickled Gold !
The whole time ( feb-05----feb-06 ) I've owned 'her', it's been grey primer.
I just pinch myself that it's sooo smooth.Letting the paint cure as we speak, before the final buff out.
The Metalflake Gold really changes colors and hues in person.
I'll post he code numbers next week.
Oh yea the tip,....
everyone working on the 41 got a $ 100.oo tip !

thanks for the positive comments.
