So there hasn't been much done to The Macho Taco since I dropped it off at my friend's body shop . He had a couple other cars to finish up including my Dad's Toy : http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1063691 . He just finished my Dad's , which leads into mine . So as of Today he is on to The Macho Taco . He just moved it into the shop this evening as I picked up my Dad's . So the cab swap and paint has comenced . Couple pics from this evening . He hadn't done much besides pull the seats out but it is now under way :

This is where it was at last Friday . He was trying to finish it up for me (Minus paint and tubework) so it could be at the So~Cal Off-Road Truck Show but I had him stop . Figured there was no sence in rushing it . So now it is going to get the engine bay and cab painted :
