Finally got the bed shipped off to the painter.Had to cut out the wheel wells and fabricate replacements.The tail gate was smashed and a big bow,the steel was so thick a dent puller would not even move the metal,I ended up welding a lot of nuts alone the dents and used a hydraulic ram with a strong back,came out nice

I would driven down to see that happen. I can say one thing if it got pulled out to Hogfarm's satisfaction it is going to be a bit better than perfect.

I was looking at an interesting Harley project bike the other day wishing I had the money to buy it, drop it off his house an say "do it.
