Wow its been a while since I updated this thread.Haven't been highly motivated to build lately.But once I saw bryan's version of this truck it light a fire under me to get back to the bench.Not a whole lot of progress but all 4 control arms are done.

I still need to smooth everything out and build the sub enclosure in front of the rearwall which is my next step.

I removed the vent windows from the front glass area.You can see in the picture a stock glass assembly and the modified one.

I test fitted the dash as well.I need to shim the sides a bit to get it to fit properly.
