Done installing the seats for now. Both front seats are in, only the drivers side power is working at the moment. Center console isn't installed, need different brackets for that. It's only mocked up in the pics here. Rear seats are also done for now. Still need to determine how I'm going to get the seat backs to lean back further. As of now, they are about an inch or so more forward than the original seats. It works but wouldn't be comfortable for someone sitting back there for too long. Details in my install thread.

Beautiful rig. Love the black interior heads on the color matched white truck. Only thing left to color match is the mirros. Or at least the 'mirror' part of them. :D

Is it just me, or do these tow mirrors [specifically the passenger side] have a greater amount of magnification in the main lense? It's really throwing off my ability to adjust them and wrecking my lane change when a ******* is right there confidence....

BTW, got another 'body' quote. This place is saying ~2700 to paint the whole truck and fix the two bed dents with me replacing the tailgate and front fender on my own. {{And that's any color I want besides red, WITH the door jambs done, too, to boot!}}

Dude says he'd have to have the truck for 8 days or so. He said 'paint these days is really expensive, especially red' and I think he said reds were $200 a quart?? IDK, too tired to think straight and DGAF since body is so far down the line...

Thoughts?

{{No print out this time. This place was even more hole in the wall than the last one.}}
