Default heartland kit install/experiences

Hi

Could those of you running a heartland kit specially the rocker one please give me some feedback or tips to watch out for when installing...

....does it need to be mocked up before paint, or is as simple as paint and put on....

thanks,

Dan

you should always mock the stuff up before you send it out for paint this way if there are any clearance issues you can address them without worrying about ruining your paint.

pricey but definitely worth the dough if you can afford it.
