Got the front of the cab to sit down a bit more with a little tweeking, just a little more and it will be done, got to find a tail light the carpet monster has got it for now. Laughing

Thank's DeeCee, Morrie, ya the bonnet is a pain the bonnet hinge held the bonnet open at the front about 15mm, so I had to cut it out, the two panels that that go under the dash on the sides on mine are to long they stoped the floor pan from going in place, also had to cut away on the inner fenders to get cab to sit better, still have to cut out a bit more that sould fix it.
