straight edge and a fresh supply of utility knife blades. Lots of elbow grease required.

That's what I ended up using. 3/4 stall mat from tractor supply.

So the plan I'm working on right now is: 1 the interior has already been sprayed with upol raptor liner 2 I have applied Dynamat to the inside of the roof and on the new wall between the cabs. 3 I am putting 2" close cell egg crate foam on the ceiling 4M y buddy is building the headliner...

Good observation, my kids have almost stepped on them a few times, I'm already brainstorming some type of cover to protect them.

Just my house :) feels like an apartment building at times with 3 kids? my parents living upstairs and tons of cars in the driveway.

It's a blast, drive it everyday. I pick up my kids from daycare and run all my errands in it unless I know I can't find a parking spot where I'm going. The kids love (so do I ), how everyone honks and gives us the thumbs up as we motor around.

Most of the major stuff is donee. I still need to complete Bed liner in rear Insulation in cab and on floor Radio and interior lights Time is limited, so just a couple hours here and there to play.

Thanks, rear seats are 3rd row (1 1/2 sets) out of a Tahoe. Front seats are 40/20/40 out of silverado. I would have liked some storage but I needed intergrated shoulder belts for kids booster seats and better safety for front passengers.

Paint is on, 2 coats and 7 hours later.

My buddy came over today and did the Bondo work for me, then we got the "rusty metal" primer put on all over. She'll be turning green again tomorrow.

Well she's getting there I took a piece of flat steel and ran a line down the bottom edge of the cab to clean it up and reinforce it. I built a seat frame for my seats that are going in the rear. I got it mounted in the cab with the seats bolted down it's nice having a set up with the seatbelts...

It's not as bright as those pictures make it seem. The pics look like neon OD green. It's much better in person.

Well, a lot of rain and yard work has held things up for a couple weeks. I sprayed some tintable u-pol raptor bed liner for the interior and on the exterior of the hardtop. I liked the 2 part epoxy bedliner for exterior of hardtop to really seal up any gaps that may have been present after...

Hardtop is on and almost done. I put on the corners for the hardtop extension. I cut the pieces to size and then used a spare piece of landscaping post to roll the corner to the approximate curve of the top. It seemed to line up pretty well. I got it welded to the subrame alright and I need...

Not sure, maybe 80 hours with no help. It's tough to add up time when I usually get 2 hours at a time. If we have decent weather, I try to get Ina hour or two once my kids go to bed, or once a week, I work a evening shift and get a few hours before work.

I welded on the side wall pieces and attempted to weld the hardtop together. Apparently you can't weld steel to aluminum without a friction welder. So i'm thinking of pop riveting the center piece on and then applying an adhesive to seal it before Bondo.

I finished the frame for the hardtop and welded the dropsides back together.

The bed is welded together, I sanded, put "rusty metal primer" to the underneath and I put it back on the truck. I wanted to put a coat of paint on underneath but I was in a rush to get the bed back on with the excavator, since the owner came to pick up the excavator and I no longer have...

I unfortunately have no idea what you are talking about. Ill have to do some research. Is acid in a self etching primer?

So I was a little hasty when I started cutting the bed yesterday. When I flipped it over I realized my cut would take out the heavy duty middle support of the bed and require me to cut off and re-weld the big mounting brackets that connect to the frame. Luckily my first cuts only affected the...
