Length is perfect. What colors do you have in mind for paint?

The truck will be a two tone black with a orange bottom, like my chevy scaler.

Updates...

-Got some parts in the mail, this rig was missing a lot of pieces when I got it.
-Installed the trans and found a old silvercan in my toolbox I tossed in.
-Bolted the cab floor pan in and dremeled a space for the motor. (I will be making a center console to cover the motor later)
-Made a styrene sleeper pan that is bolted to the trans. All the tronics will go in the sleeper.

Looking good! Did you have to modify the fuel tank and step mounts to get them to fit the frame?

Thanks man.

Per the fuel tanks, with guidance from "Joe", you just have to shave down the inside of the bracket just a bit to get them to fit. The fit just fine.
