Hi all,

I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy.

Here's what I've been up to...

The first photo shows the cab after a bit of finessing with putty, two-part finishing putty and seam sealer.



The second shows the first couple of coats of tinted high build. The high build is close to the final base coat/clear coat color which should make stone chips more bearable.



Now for my question, we are about to take the cab off the rotisserie to fit the doors to the cab. Do we have to bolt the cab to the frame to fit the doors? I don't think the cab has any flex in it, it's not a four door. Even if I bolt the cab on the frame, the way the mounting is set up on this truck the rear is held by shackles so it can flex (if it is to do so...) even if bolted to the frame.

The reason I ask is that it really would be easier to fit the doors if I put the cab back on the wheeled dolly I have made for it.

Thank you for your input.

You can install the doors on the dolley. It won't move after bolting to the frame. By the way, it's looking very good.
