    OP any updates? I was just reminded that this thread still was relevant. The 24th or 25th are less that 7 days away. You are running out of time.

    FYI I just checked my weather channel app & you are clear & sunny in your area. No reported rain

    Finished up welding the passenger door today and painted them. Was super lazy and went with all in one primer/paint and didn't bother doing anything about the mill scale or surface rust. Came out decent enough!

    All that's left is to trim the bottom of the passenger side so it follows the body lines a little better. Will do that Thursday and I'll take them to a local meet for their maiden voyage. Once I get some mounted pics, I'll update page 1 with everything.

    OP this feels like “Mission Accomplished” for me. It took a solid 10 months but they turned out great!

    These tube doors are friggin' sweet. Took them wheeling yesterday and they were so much fun. Barely got anything in the cab either and went through some water. I just went really slow.
