Paint time after a few more add ons
Added some rain gutters over the windows and doors to help with those rain issues. Then started to clean it up and spray on some paint.
Beds a little long
Now I'm cutting the front of the bed down and notching it around the exhaust.

The top
So I took the original top and cut the back off pulled it a part and built back the center. Learned this trick from a great uncle that decided to do this with his barn.( Lol another story for another time)
Framing time
Cab placed where we want it. Now time for a few minor tweaks and start framing it up. Due to the very light weight design of the top and cab. I opted for some structural improvements. Box tubing floor to roof and we will cage it out. No more removable top. Small down side for having a lot more rigidity.
