UPDATE! I drove the dually extended cab truck today and it runs great the front stayed attached to the back! Everything is working with two exceptions. One: the air bag light stays on, probably because I had to remove the side airbags. The cylinder extended into the truck bed area. Gotta figure out how to fool the computer about the side bags. TWO: The ignition switch will not go into the lock position and I cannot remove the key. Some interlock issue I guess. I got the hydraulic brakes and parking brake extended and they work well.
Here is a good one. I removed the sub woofer amplifier, the XM radio box and another amplifier from the bed to test drive it so they would not be thrown around in the bed. After I unplugged them, the truck would not start. Turns out that if J4 connector in the XM box is unplugged, the HHR will not start. Go figure. Theft deterrent?
So, after I get the ignition switch issue fixed, I will start finishing the body work.

Space Cowboy,
If you click on the "image" button on the far left side of my posts, you will see 38 pictures that I have posted for both trucks. I have hundreds of pictures and videos of the project, but don't want to overload or bore everyone.
Thanks
