Thanks guys! This has been a lot of fun to work on and the best part is my son is learning a lot of new things. Most of the truck has been his decision and he has great taste and insight. He is already talking about the next one we are going to build together.

Just in time for school to start. It will be the nicest truck in the lot.

**CMACDONALD1** · 09-05-2019, 01:16 AM

Paint work is pretty much complete on this one. Bolted the box back down and installed the rest of the trim this evening. I seem to have some wireing issues goin on because signal lights are not working properly. I will check all of my grounds tomorrow and go from there. Hoping it is something simple like that.

**nlped** · 09-06-2019, 09:59 AM

That’s a nice looking square. Heck, I wish mine looked anywhere near this good!
