sanded back all teh surface rust on the cab and primered it, pulled leafs out to give me an idea how low it is gonna sit before notch...figured it has to be notched as they dont even tuck tyre without. pulled tray off and inspected, only a small bit of rust, structurally perfect so thats off to get sand blasted soon, and new tailgate has to be ordered soon, thinking of going a cali combo style. oh and photos are shit quality, taken off my phone:

looks like it is coming along nicely there. I wonder how I would go Airbagging one of my cherrys. Can you get them bouncing like you see in the USA?

Nah u need juice (read: hydraulics) for bouncing as bags inflate and deflate but we can dog leg which looks rad! Yeah, the only prgress lately is buying new tools, got tool chest, 4 axle stands, compressor, spray gun, other air tools, new sander, lotsa sand paper, cab come soff soon so i can start work fabircating the new rear clip and the bag mounts
