Thanks Wayne. When I look at your project, I wish I was that far along! I know it was a tough wait, but worth it.

Firewall looks great! I didn't know Direct did that! Good to know!

You hit the nail on the head there! It's hard to hit the go pedal and hope for the best. Chaulk it all up to experience. Luckily it is the top of the tank that moved. You will never see it as it will be sandwiched under the bed floor. This is where I give Rodger props for his truck. Can't hide anything with no bed floor.

Yea direct built it, twice! The first one wasn't even close. I then sent this:



I thought you couldn't go wrong. Right? Wrong, it still isn't totally correct. It will work and looks good, but why can't you get what you ask and pay for? It was supposed to come with floor boards to, never got them. Oh well. The quality of the fabrication is good, but it was not a completely satisfying experience. Ever felt like that?

Thanks for the compliments guys!
