i agree with you mario..time for me to get cracking too and finish my builds also

So I've just run into a set back on the Black Passion build
I got the cab skirt lights all done, tested and looking fine. I attached them to the cab mounting plate and then that's when trouble came up.

When marked out the holes for the lights I used the same spacing as the sleeper lights to make it look right. Well, I just discovered I have one led on each side which is in the exact same position as the front mounting brackets for the steps! no room for the LEDs ! I never seen it coming and I'm ^}%]*]% I missed that! Lesson learned. I was too focused on just the part and not where it goes!

Plan B - I need to screw the step to the vertical edge of the mounting bracket and remove the horizontal edge will work. Sad part is I have about 4 inches of slack because of the light wires for the step lights which are glued on! so I have to drill the steps while still hanging or mounted. The whole fix is going to be awkward as ****

It's been a rough day. I was ready to start dealing with the problem right away but thought.... I'm rushing this. I'm upset I won't get it done as quick as I wanted but hey, this build has never been rushed and had no big problems. Now I rush a little and look what I get!

So , I'm on a shutdown for the day! Grabbed a Bud out of the fridge, kicked back on the couch and I think I'm gonna watch the nationwide Bristol race and start fresh tomorrow.

Have to turn the brain off for a bit....lol. Thanks for listening

All right, I'm done with my freak out session. Couldn't help myself but get back at the build. I was all upset for nothing! Took about an hour to cut and modify the step bracket and the cab plate is now installed and fits perfect.

Sorry bout the drama queen complaining

Back to building........
