Thanks, I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of support for what I plan on hauling in this truck.

Thanks Ryan. The bed floor looks better in the pics than it really is. I fixed about 20 rust thru holes and straightened over 100 dents.

Actually, I quit using the tig along time ago. It just took too long. But when I did I ran it pretty cool probably in the 40-50 amp range.

mcbassin · 08-20-2013, 10:08 PM

It may not look like much but these updates take me a bunch of hours to get done. I spent way too long on the bed floor and tubs. I hope they turn out good, they were super rough.

Zoomin · 08-20-2013, 10:22 PM

That's a lot of square footage to beat into submission. Looking good!

Looks good Mike, it must be tough to be a perfectionist lol, but all your time you put into this build will result in alot of compliments every time you take it out.

I don't know about perfectionist, just slow and old I think. I have a busy life too so getting time on the project isn't always easy.

Thanks Dan. I'm thinking a wood floor would have been the easy way out. My next one I hope to find a better donor bed.

More of the same cycle: Blast, beat dents, weld, bodywork, primer, repeat......

Started on the front bed panel and core support.

Crash_OK · 08-21-2013, 08:57 AM

Great looking work Mike.. That's a good looking sandblaster you got there as well...

Thanks Mark. It won't be long and you can have it back. From my estimates, I only lack the inner fenders, under side of the hood braces, and sides of the tailgate to blast. I'm probably forgetting something though.

Wow your really moving along now, you will be in paint in no time

I know your going with Red so I'm excited to see how it comes out. Are you planning on going with a brighter Red or a darker Red?
