This weekend I took the truck for a few more laps again around my circle. My dad came up to visit so I had to prove that it truly runs under it's own power. I worked a little more on the doors. The driver latch mechanism is going to need some work. The passenger side turned out nicely with the patch in the corner. That was a bit of work. I took the chrome down from it's storage and started to work on it. It needed some scrubbing, bending, twisting, welding, and some redneck bodywork (hit it with bigger hammer) to get it to settle in but it seemed to come together quite well.
My son helped me put the hood ornament on which I still think is one of the coolest things about the truck.
If I can get doors and some temporary tail lights in place I may try to get tags before February is over. We'"ll have to see.

Your truck is looking good! That's just rattle can flat black on there?
Just flat black out of a spray can. It passes the 20 foot test.
