    This coming from a guy who's wife says he's anal about everything, thank you. I don't care for die grinders but at work it's sometimes required, I've used them so much your hand and wrist hurt. I was a shop boilermaker now a shop Ironworker. Forever.

    I had one near, in that picture I forgot one cut which through the grindings down. I didn't for some reason take a picture when I had it papered fender to fender and over the core support up the fire wall to the hood. I made sure I was not comfortable doing this at all so I touched every base and then some.

    You suffer for your art. I have said this many times and it will always be my mantra - if you have no love for what you do, pass it to someone who has. And yes, I am delusional (as in pursuing the ideal of perfection). Everything takes 5 times longer, and once in a while someone will see the end product and actually take notice. p.s. I did a stint as a steel worker for a few years and it was brutal, so I have some insight to your world.
    Looking forward to the moment you turn the key and it comes to life. This is a beautifully finished truck
