Looking good, Shaun!

By the way, do your doors have bracing from the mirror mount to the window track? You'll probably remember what I did, as described here and shown below, but it REALLY made my mirrors solid. Made a huge difference.

Thanks Gary! The aero mirrors that were on the truck have a long "leg" that attaches to the inner door skin. I planned on replicating that with some steel since I already have the hole there but may use your suggestion for the bottom. I didn't remember you doing that until I read the link.

I managed to finish up the plugs on the passenger side door and finished drilling out the new upper holes for the mirrors. I still need to do the body work this weekend, but I did mockup the mirrors and I'm excited to get these on.
