PICS!!!

After driving it 20 miles home, before working on it at all:









After about 15 mins worth of working with a piece of wood and a Hi-Lift jack:



As you can see, I've squared up the door frames again, after over-torquing the cab the first time through, I had to move it back a bit so the door would close and the seams line up correctly. Now that that part is taken care of, I have to work out the creases in the windshield frame, and try to de-dent the roof panel as best I can next. Once I get a windshield to fit without leaking, the next step is the passenger side fender, which I'll try to pound out first. If that doesn't work, I'll replace it.

After that, it's the bedsides, and the rear bumper. Then just little stuff.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
