Is this huge laundry list you are working on stuff that was messed up since then, or before then. It seems from the first few pages of this build that the truck is worse off than in the beginning

F5,
Confusion is the word of the month. In February one week before the truck was supposed to be finished I went and saw the truck.....It was completely apart...I was told then it was for touch ups, and to ensure the ghost flames were buried and you would not be able to see or feel the edge of the flames.
Now that I have the truck in my garage I am seeing things like chipped paint, runs, sanded places that haven't been buffed, and trash in the paint like fish eys and dust particles. Since there is a different paint used on the cab and bed they tried to touch up some of these places and now they stick out like a sore thumb.
These issues I am having now are because I am taking a hard look at EVERYTHING especially since the motor was held in by one loose motor mount bolt. It really becomes a safety issue for myself. I have to check everything to ensure that the truck does not fall apart from loose bolts or ends up in flames because of electrical issues etc.....neither of which would be good going down the highway at 70mph........
