The body shop sent a couple of pics yesterday. The truck is back in my home town over 400 miles away where it is being painted. I keep uploading pics when I get them. It's driving me nuts that I cannot be there this week.

I was going to buy a new truck but decided to do this. Now I know what I have and it is what I want. Way cheaper also and no payment!!

I hope it runs as hard as yours does. I only got to drive it from the shop where the engine, trans, and transfercase where switched out to the bodyshop. And that was only about three blocks. I had open headers and I left the supercharger off and did not hook up the new injectors and ecm, ran pretty good except it did not want to idle at all. Can't wait to hook everything up after it is painted and get the exhaust done- man that thing was loud!

More pics today. I called and talked to them and it should be completed by next week. They are using the Planet Color system and it uses colored primer. So what you are seeing in the pictures is the box, hood, tailgate, and doors all in primer. Can't wait till this thing is done.

Making some progress! Take a look at Facebook under Heritage Classics. My friends own the bodyshop and they have pics of the progress of my truck under Kyle's truck. Take a look! These guys do great work. Here's a link:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bismar...d=223423550393
