    Thanks....it's "tigerwood" out of Brazil....super hard and dense. 30 year ground contact (not that is will see the ground). Quick wipe with an oil and good to go! Sadly no, my painter is STILL working on getting his building inspected/approved. I think he's gonna start here in April...will keep you informed.

    Keep working the issues! I know there are several new sleep apnea options out there that are way less of a PITA than the standard old school options were.

    My OCD decided I needed to redo the first running board to be "nicer"....so I did! And I started to trim the grill bars so they fit right by the intercooler.

    Passenger side done. As typical it went better and looks better. I figured a way to jig the bead rolls so it went much better.

    I went for it yesterday on the first running board top skin. Those long beads are tough to try and keep straight. Did I? Mostly.....at least its gonna be Rino Lined and not gloss back!

    I'm guessing it'll be in Jan when he can start. He needs to get his building finsihed and inspected prior to starting to actually work in it.

    My buddy traded me a first gen 6bt to do some body work for him on his truck. So several patch panels later I got a "free" engine.

    Ya, I just spaced out "evenly" the pockets...there will never be a stake panel in there and it's more for looks than anything. Center rear three will be on the "bumper", and I mocked up what I'm now going to do on the corners for marker lights. TBD if I will do side marker/turn signals....

    I did this to see how it looks. Use the corners to be the lights. or this: mod the lower corner to be 45° and mount a single light to be side AND rear.
