looks good, if your really good with working with fiberglass you should figure out a way to make reasonable priced OEM style hard doors and sell them.
I'm on week 4 so far. I guess I got a ways to go.

Today my Son and I started taking out rear interior, seats, mats, platform for gunner. We vacuumed it out and used a combination of brushes to get dirt out with vacuum. I don’t like to wash and make more mud than I need to. I found a 1969 quarter in the passenger seat. I’m on the hunt for a new pressure washer so we can finish the job. They painted the mats during reset and I’m not happy with them. One thing that bothered me was my tc has the 90degree elbow buried in the floor mat. Is there a way to clock the cannon plug? Still need a 200amp generator

Yes, kinda. It's the first from GovPlanet. I did have an EUC and SF97 on my 1978 M35A2 back in 2009 through GovLiquidation.

I have had many through both GP and GL and the second to last one took almost 8 months, you just never know, they said the serial number was incorrectly listed on the paperwork but I actually finished the blanks on the application and the serial number was correct.
The last one only took a couple weeks or so, I bought the last two only a month apart.

The vinyl I use is made in New Jersey and the other parts (thread, cord and cord lock) are also US-made. And then it's made (by me) in Virginia.

Worked on a simple little project recently. I wanted a phone holder and a rear view camera/CarPlay navigation screen, but I didn’t want the windshield/visibility to be blocked anymore than it already is. pondering on it all I realized there is a dead space on the corner of the radio tray so I took two scrap pieces of .100 thou aluminum and made a ”extension“ that bolts to the radio tray. I then bought two RAM mounts and mirrored them on the plate. So now the phone is mounted solidly and accessible and the rear view screen is down out of the way of anything and it doesn’t block the visibility any. I could have added one more piece of aluminum to make it flush but I’m happy with how it turned out and a plus is I avoided modifying anything that can’t be unbolted, removed, and turned back to original.

I had some free time and It was just a little project, maybe took about a hour and a half. Plus for me, it just moved everything forward into a better field of view closer to the dash and used what would other wise be unused space. Plus if i decide to add what ever to the radio tray in the future it is pretty much still open for what ever I would want. I am thinking on adding a storage box mounted underneath and some cupholders eventually.
Got the hood done. My wife works for DA, and at her building they just happened to have a bunch of expired cans of 686 matched touch up in the trash pile. I saved them.
Next big project is the cooling stack and inner fenders. It's really the only place on the truck I haven't been except inside the engine and transmission.
Took my kiddo to the firing range and ice cream last night and then church this morning.
My wife is great for letting me relive my glory days.

I flushed my M1114's radiator yesterday and removed a bunch more butchered wires and hoses.

@frauhansen and @Godspeed131 - what are you guys using for a digital rear view "mirror"/monitor?
I'm looking for one for mine but haven't found one I quite like yet - I want a rear-view mirror proxy and don't want a split-screen/parking lines to be constantly on.

I put this on about a year ago and it has been working just fine.

I kind of like the guidelines so I left them on. I believe you can easily disable them by cutting a wire. I mounted the camera under the receiver hitch. And I mounted the display on the top center of the windshield. I have a helmet top.
There are now bigger units, but like you, I did not want to have deal with a split screen.
I have another, larger, split screen and a side cameras for additional blind spot mitigation.
