Thanks for the heads up Calvin. I'll keep that in mind when I get to that point.

Picked up the smoked glass for my truck today...Not a great pic, but maybe it will give you guys an idea of what it looks like.

Made some progress this week. I finished up my vent and side windows, then installed the back glass and had a guy come out and put my windshield in today.

Thanks! I followed your build for a while, glad your back posting! I'm hoping to lower mine like you did in your build as well.

Tonight she came to life! Just ran her for a few seconds since we didn't have any hose clamps for the radiator hoses.

Feels good to finally hear it run for the first time.

Been pretty busy on the truck lately. Today was a pretty good day, as the truck finally moved under its' own power. I didn't have a steering wheel plus it was kinda nasty out so I just moved the truck forwards and backwards a few times in the shop. Hoping to make it to the local 4th of July parade, but we'll see. I'll post some more pics once I make some more progress.

Made some progress this weekend. Got most of the front end on. I still need to paint my hood hinges before the hood goes on. Here's just a quick cell phone picture I took after I pulled it out side for a minute. It felt great to finally move the truck under its own power.
