So I took my doors to the body guy who is doing some of my work for me so he could make sure the new rockers lined up, all in all it seems to be coming together nicely, and I hopefully will be getting it painted by year's end just gotta get the suspension going and she'll be running good hopefully. Got some pics of the rockers installed....I like the color of the primer..

Ok, back from the body man with freshly welded in rocker panels and the tub welded back on!!! We are getting somewhere now. I have to go get the fenders sand blasted so he can finish them up, but that'll be ok. We should be getting to paint and rhino lining the interior very soon! So hopefully she can get back on the road and such. Here are some pics of her back home.... Enjoy...

So the fenders come back from the sand blaster only to reveal lots of repair work aka bondo and lots of holes, so my body man has a lot of work ahead of him. I wish I could have just bought some aftermarket ones or gone down to murphy and see what he had. Any rate this will definately slow me down some, but any progress is good progress, and no bondo will make things better.....

The truck is now a solid 3" taller than it was thanks to Skyjacker, however they did send me the wrong shocks, and I am gonna have to figure that one out..... But progress!!! Found a new body man to weld in my new quarters and paint it for me, so hopefully we'll be done soon!!! Updates should come more often now, pics to follow

Oh, got fenders too from CCOT, i'll have to say they are just ok, not great but better than what I had. They don't line up well, but I will have to make them work I guess. I did not have high hopes going into it with them, but I had no other options for fenders, so we'll do what we can... and once again, pics will soon follow

Notice this one came pre-dented, I like to call it distressed....
I wouldn't have expected that from ccot. Thought they were suposed to be the go to place for parts that fit.

Apparently it is very hard to make reproduction fenders, as I hear SOR's fit the same, and all but OEM come from taiwan. Don't get me wrong I like the taiwanese, but I think their jigs are off, with that said, this is better than my old ones, cause they have HUGE holes in them. I think they will do for what I want, and I don't think they are that bad, but if I were a perfectionist i'd be PI$$ED, but I am not. They aren't bad though....
