update...
So the person that was supposed to be painting the truck turned out to have too many other issues to finish my truck. So I took it back yesterday afternoon. The new plan is, another buddy of mine is coming over on sunday to finish the body work on the cab. Paint is still up in the air, but will probably be done in my garage. I am not worried about the paint job when painting in the garage, I am more worried about the garage. Oh well, I may be moving out anyway.
Here is a pic of the hood, fenders, doors, and cowl... all ready for paint now.

did a little fitting today. I never had a chance to test fit the new control arms, thats why they were not fully welded. Well since I had my paint setback I threw the cab back on, bolted up the core support and fenders, and checked the width of the a-arms. Everything is good to go. Now I can make the strut bars on the back of the lower a-arm and weld the uppers and lowers.

Just dropped off all the chrome trim. Holy crap it is expensive to restore and redhrome this stuff! $405 for all the window trim rechromed. Should have it back in 2 weeks.

looking good.... i really like the rear cylinders and how you have them plumbed. i was originally wondering how you were going to do it a week or so ago when i saw the pics... but i definately like the look of them now.

The goal is Dec. 14th, with worst case scenario being the 21st. Also finished up the hardline, thanks to another buddy Derek. Not musch to see, but I know how you guys love pics.

Awsome work bro truck looks great and the hydro install is awsome. I have one question did you reinforce all your brackets for you 4 link and for your new upper control arms as the pics is see it's just all tacked in place. Also with the way you did the upper arms are they at the same height they were at with the old ones. I guess thats 2 questions. LOL
