Making the most of this weekend - most of this is all mockup - but I needed a little motivation, so I threw the front tires on and one of the fenders and just made vroom vroom sounds while I wait for parts to arrive - transmission should be here on the 21st so we can get serious!

Well day 7 task was to get the motor and transmission together and get it back into the truck - well mother nature ruined it for me and promptly after pulling the motor I found out that we had straight line winds last night and one of trees (35 feet) didn't make it - so I changed gears into lumber jack mode for 5 hours - still managed to get the motor and transmission connected - just not in the truck...just rolling with the blows....

Great work, Erik! Is it just the light playing tricks or is there a bit of a color difference I'm seeing particularly on the passenger side between the door and the front fender? I know you discussed it along the way, but how does it look in person?
On another subject, I assume that since the VIN is part of the body, you can just use the title and registration from the donor. Is that correct? That would be a big plus for perspective builders if they didn't have to deal with the DMV before being able to drive after the build is done.
Thanks,
Dave

Yeah the color flops pretty hard when viewed at different angles, drove me nuts.. also the truck is an 18...so the paints really need to be blended... and I elected not to do it. It looks really really close!!! Anyway..yes the VIN is on the cab... so every goes right over... the car has cats and I didn't mess with any of emissions ...well not directly anyway

Congrats Eric! The truck came out great. You'll finish your shake down of issues before I do, and I've had mine together for over a year! As a note, I've enjoyed following along with the build. The videos have been entertaining to see how much you get done in such a short amount of time.

This truck is pretty quick! I drives sooooo nice ... better than OE if I had to compare.

Not my cup of tea. But the write up in the November Car and Drive seemed favorable. They even gave a shout out to the 818 and GTM.
Well we made it - completed the build on time - arrived at SEMA (we drove!) on time - then made it home - a few things to fix on the truck - but 4000 miles complete!
