[QUOTE="mcutler, post: 599140, member: 1641"] I now have all the sheet metal trimmed out of the cab and ready for the cage work. Probably lost 50# or more. I've got a few tubes in place, may or may not be their final resting place. Also got a bedside trimmed up with a reverse bob; trimmed from the front of the bed and opened up the rear of the wheel opening. It was time to get a mental picture of all the skins, to pull some measurements for the back half tubing. Next will be the rub rail/nerf bars so that I can attach the cab to the chassis, these will be 1.75/.120 tubing lined with solid 1.5" 7075, (the bumpers will get the same treatment). The roof will get cut off to do full welding on the cage.

It takes me some time to get a real good mental picture of how I want things to end up. I think I've finally had my ahaa moment and made some good decisions on the final design. More to come..
