Yes your right, a lotta work has went into it to get it to this point, not to mention that it has really only taken 7 days to get it to get it there!

All welded up, I already have it smoothed, but w/o any pics at the moment, can't finish all the body work yet because I still gotta make a steel center console to the bottom of the dash after I section the tunnel for transmission and drive shaft

That is a interesting cup holder the you have in the center console. Is the console staying in the truck after the SFBD? Also is that a 2nd LUV in the right side of the garage?

Front bracket has been cut and dropped for the radiator, next is steerin then I'm blastin that frame at the body shop I work at so it'll be super easy to finish up welds, make battery trays, and a few more gussets. Meanwhile, got the body work pretty much done on the dash, and started grindin/cuttin on the firewall to smooth it out

The dash looks really good. How much fabrication was there? Did you just fill in the empty spaces and smooth it out, or is that a completely new dash?
