    Getting there. Nobody said it was going to be easy fixing the gaps between the doors + the cab

    And the front windshield trim must also be perfect!

    Going to extra mile for perfection...welding a 1/8 steel round stock to fill the gaps between door and body.

    Chrome prep
    Polished + copper plated, pre chrome...

    Me when I started: "I'm only going to do just a little bit of chrome..."
    Me now: "Chrome everything!!!!!"
