I'll tell ya, a 4" angle grinder makes quick work of shaping foam and makes much less dust than a belt grinder. Although I will use a little random orbit sander for finish sanding.

I'm going to add a strip of Lexan in the gap at the rear for a thin little rear window. I won't be able to see very far behind me, perhaps 10ft, but it will help considerably when hooking a trailer.

Also, I'm wiring it up for hi-mount brake and dome/cargo lights. I'll just tap into the trailer harness and run a quick-connect plug up through the drain hole at the rear of the bed.

Perfect li'l brake light for $8:

Dome light for $13, should be bright enough for what I need. I can always add a few more if I need more light:
Amazon.com: LED Bar Light - Heavy Duty, Water resistant 12 Volt DC LED courtesy convenience lamp, 4" length: Home Improvement

And the trailer plug. I'll just cut this in half, use one part to wire the cap, and use the other part to tap into the existing wiring.
