Small update...
Bodywork on the welds in the bed to make sure the liner doesn't have any issues:
Her cranked up today and said she was running great! They are waiting on some tie rods from their machinist and the suspension will be complete. They should have some this afternoon and she will fully lay out. Might have pics tonight, if not tomorrow so I'm excited and might have a video...
Appointment Thursday for the liner and Friday the guy with the tailgate is doing one last clear and wetsand because he is anal and since it's black wants it to look super slick (not necessarily a bad thing)
So it looks like the gate will slightly hold me up a little, but she will def be on the ground tonight/tomorrow.

You have no idea, the days are getting so much longer now that it's sooo close.
Might wait until Shreveport meet, fly up Sat and drive to Shreveport with the Dallas guys and chill, then head back down

Well Keith pulled some favors and the painter worked till midnight and finished the gate!
He is picking up the tie rods early this morning and finishing the body work. She will be on the ground today and the liner tomorrow will be the last detail so she should be finished Thursday as long as there are no problems when he drives her to the liner place.

I'm still planning on making Shreveport but I won't know until right before, if not she will def make it down to the parents eventually as my dad likes to keep up with my build as well. We will def figure something out!
Fuuuuuu me....I want it. If you would have shown me this when they had mine out it would be in there, but I'll pause until I get back to interior...dammit...
