Thanks Alvin. I have a few hurdles to go, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel and I realize that I'M GOING TO FINISH THIS TRUCK SOON! Awesome! I'm super pumped. My wife doesn't say much about the truck but the other night she made my day. She came home and entered via the garage. "Hi love" small talk ensued and then as she left the room she said, "That old truck looks really good. It's crazy where it started and where it is now. I can't wait for a drive." 😃
Today I installed the rubber inside the door that "sweeps" the glass as it moves up and down. What a tricky buggar. I used a water based lube to aid sliding it in. Trimmed off the excess and viola! I began to lay out the vent windows and associated parts and doodads. But I forgot to buy glass setting tape! So the vent windows and door windows are momentarily on hold. I also need to get some string for the back and front windows.
So instead of glass, I installed the duals, glovebox, and swapped/mixed parts out of the new radio grill for a parts one that I had painted to match the truck.
Not much interesting in terms of photos for door rubbers and grill insert(as it's not installed), but the duals look pretty sweet.
