Hi, this is my first build after 30 years.  I'm thinking of nicknaming her "Bloodshot" cause that's what my eyes were after fussing over those doors... this is my humble offering to this awesome group.

Thank you gentleman!

Question, as I have been looking over others builds, is it to late to run lines and such for the motor and or brakes? I also installed the glass before spraying dullcote on the cab, is it too late for that as well?

You can still run whatever lines you can still get to, you will probably have to touch up the paint at the attachment points though. You can't spray dull over the glass, it will make it look frosted and definitely not clear.

NICE Work for a 30 yr old build!!!! Hope to see more of your work when you get started..... Always nice to see someone "returning" just as I did!

Nice job Mark!  Regarding the windshield, you can mask off the areas where the wiper blades "sweep", and then dullcoat everything.  When you remove the tape, the clear areas will look like those on 1:1 vehicles.

Nice Dodge Mark, welcome back to building again. I also had a long break in building to and have found that a lot of things have changed from back then. And it's all for the good.
