Dennis Lacy Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I’ve been waiting patiently for you to fill in the door window frames. The body looks so good now! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn62 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Oh the lines are sooo nice! I just love the clean crispness of the filler panel below the bed, the way it lines up with the kick up on the frame, and then the way it and the front of the bed follow the graceful curve on the back of the cab! The kick up on the frame is just as crisp as well! I’ve always said, paint and originality will get you notices. Workmanship and detail will Winn you trophies. This one is a chicken dinner for sure!
