Very cool

Great looking truck! You are real lucky to have a talented friend who can stripe like that. Your build thread is awesome and you should be proud of your rat. I bet driving down the road will be a blast. I love driving my truck. Again, nice build and have fun. Steve
 
Thanks Guys

I had every state plus used a few extra Indiana's. I believe I used about 74 total. No they do not rattle each have 4 screws except the ones right below the back window.
Right now I have the console I built prepped in primer.

Was going to cover it in dash plaques until I figured the tranny tunnel will flow right into the console so yes the console will get the rivet affect also. Always something new ya can come up with.

I will be at the World of Wheels/Motorama in INDY this coming weekend. Not with mine but with my buddy Denny and the 41 Willy's jeep.
Look for LAKE RATS GARAGE Cedar Lake Indiana on his doors.

Ok so far this morning we got the console installed and placed the seats in and mounted the tapper turn signal arm. Also installed my door stop straps I made from nylon with pins. (no Pic)

Floor is Herculined.

Nope they are set where they stay. Wheel does look high but it is pretty comfortable where it's at.

Door panels On

OK the door panels are on and here are some shots.
The only thing I need to do is paint the door glass frames black.

I did make an adjustment on the steering wheel since your post Rat.

Was able to move it down about an inch more on the adjustment.
The only way I can lower any more is to cut and sleeve the steering wheel rod.
But the inch made it even better than before.

Last piece to the truck, painted it on just now.
It needed a door sign.

Looks even cooler outside!! The before and after shots really show how all your hard work paid off, not that it wasn't cool before-because it was-but it's just way cooler now!!!!
