Roll Bar is looking good. You and your dad have done a jam up job on that truck. Where did you get the alt bracket?

I like the rounded edges on the tubs, and again where did you come by that altenator bracket?

My glass couldn't be cut. But they can cut it on non tempered I guess? They didn't have any 3/16 in stock though.

Got everything on the cage welded up and got it all tied into the frame. Gonna rebuild my dash tomorrow, and paint the cage and be done with it.
