Nice! The windshield frame turned out perfect!

Are you gonna work a little more on the roof now?

Thats the plan...Dennis( Drperry) has a dent puller he's gonna lend me if he can find it....Gonna try to get it mud worthy by friday night...Horse Lake Mug boggs are this weekend and there is $10000 in prize money up for grabs:thumbs::fingersx:
Need to stop some leaks, Amsoil the diffs, fill it full of gas and give it a few test runs first though.

Okay so I havent posted up any of the work that been done to truck, because there hasn't been much to date.:(
But I did get the parts to really dig into it in the next 2 weeks. So far heres whats gone down with project ZORV:
Checked out front diff and swapped to good ol' AMSOIL ( duct tape and a jerry can filler neck helped)

Repaired holes in floorboards with some metal from an old dryer( cheap sheet metal:lol:)siliconed and riveted and then covered with spray on rocker guard.

Have been too busy with work, working on the '00 for the wifey or broke...or all of the above at multiple occasions to do too much else...more to come in next week or two...Ill try to remember to take more pics:tmc: instead of just getting job done.:dunce:
Still to do:
-Trans filter, gasket and ATF
-Wire in and mounting of lightbar
-fluid change in rear diff with Amsoil
-Engine oil n filter.....hopefully Amsoil too ( depends on how much money I have left)
-Build solid front "Zomie crusher" bumper
-Get decals made up( and hopefully some sponsors will jump on board:fingersx:)
