Getting ready to put the cab on the trailer, or so we thought.
Soon discovered that fitting the cab onto the trailer under the carport meant we didn't have enough clearance to drive back out
Wish it fitted better onto the trailer, but too late now.
I bolted the doors back onto the cab and have the two guards and bonnet inside as well.
Every panel from the bed forward is going to the painters first, including window trims and the suspension tower brace.
Unstrapped and ready to be taken off the trailer at the painters. Fortunately only a 10 minute drive from our house.
Getting the forklift tynes under the cab dolly. Unfortunately they were not long enough to go under the other part of it so two of us had to hold that up while Lisa drove the trailer away.
Set on a country property, the panels are being painted by Donburn customs.

We have seen cars and pickups that they has done while taking the Truck to shows, also aired a TV on 7mate show called Workshop Wars Downunder, still showing at 3pm on Saturdays here.
For the first time it is no longer in my hands! Plan is to strip all the running gear etc off the chassis and Lisa painting all that while the cab etc is being painted.
Looking to have all these panels painted by October when I will drop off the bed panels. While they are being painted I'll begin assembly of the everything that goes inside the cab.
