    dude...wow...

    Your beat-up crap-truck looks WAY nicer than my rig. I'm being honest here - from the body to the interior, it looks like a brand new vehicle.

    And I love the flat black...it looks almost like a military truck.

    I knew the final product would be worth the wait!

    I've been watching this thread ever since I first got signed up here. I haven't chimmed in yet, but AWESOME job man, seriously. I wish I had the patience/time/know how to do a vehicle restoration.

    Can't wait to see her dirty!

    Thanks everyone for the kind words... it means a lot to me, it really does...

    Its far from done though... AAL will be here tomorrow, Shackles in a few more days... Plasma Cutter will be here next week... Then comes the fun.... My friend has a mandrel bender, and I am planning to build more. Rock sliders, and rear bumper however before the rear bumper comes.... We are Bobbing the bed... :D

    Seats are out of a 01/02 4 Runner if I am remembering right. They did not fit, but with an air chisel, a drill, a few bolts, a grinder and a welder... They bolt in just like Tacoma Seats.

    Center console is out of an 03 Tacoma.

    1 door pannel is out of a 95 Tacoma and the other is out of a 97.

    Rear view mirror with lights is out of a 01 Tacoma.

    Under radio piece is out of a 95-97 with the power ports out of a 01 Tacoma. :D

    Holy shit now this is what I call a build! I just took a quick look at your first post and now 11 pages later I'm here.

    OP - that's some impressive work man in comparison to how it looked originally...respect! :thumbsup:
