I'll work from the back of the truck to the front. I'm mostly concerned with the driver's side door handle. I obviously grab it to close the door and lean on it while driving a lot. Hope it holds up.

I really thought that game would be much better than it was. The Dallas/Green Bay game was definitely the best playoff game this year.

Edit* I did this beginning of last summer so 2/3 of a year later it still looks good.
That looks killer, great! I know you have a appreciation/talent for details so I expect you already have this worked out. For the air bag panel, taping off the white lettering and depressions, I think one is a illumination window would look great. I mean, the grey background behind the letters would even look good since it's about impossible to mask just the letters lol. Does that particular little panel detach, I can't remember ?

Perfect color/finish IMO.

Well today I dropped the tank on my 97, cleaned the inside of the tank out and put a new fuel pump assembly in it. Reinstalled tank, put new gas in and she started up after a few cranks. Put all the coolant in and have no leaks from anywhere. The only issue I have is it has a miss and no power, which I feel has to do with the miss. Other than that everything seems great.

Start a thread if you need help. You may get more help from others who don't frequant this thread as much. Great info here as well, just might get more with a dedicated thread. That's if you get stumped anyway.
