Re: project 39

worked on the bed cover this weekend. i had made a cover previously(page 2) but it really didnt fit the way i wanted it to. i had tried to bend the long sides myself which didnt work very well. instead of trying to make something bad nice i thought i would try one more time. i mean steel is almost free now a days right? i pulled my bender away from the wall which was a feat in it self(very heavy by your self). the new lid i had the long sides bent at the local steel place so i just had to bend the ends and make it fit the frame with good gaps--how hard can it be? i bent the front first, put it on the truck and started bending the curve in it. took 2 days of fighting with it but i got it bent. i pulled it back off sunday night bent the back end, sanded the frame, sanded the back side of the cover and epoxy primed both. hopefully next weekend i can get the cover on the frame and weld it together.
