Thanks Steve. It's good to put things together instead taking them apart.

Thanks. Keep in mind I'm only touching up the sand through area with base coat and then spraying the whole area with clear. I stopped at the edge on this panel but normally you re-clear the whole panel. I didn't because it's the inside of the bed and didn't want to re do the whole thing.

nasqar · 12-01-2013, 07:14 PM

Nice paint bro! The reflection on the inside of the bed is awesome....

Thanks, how you coming on your project? You make a build thread yet?

Thanks, the Raptor is really easy to use. Two warnings though, welding spatter makes ugly black marks and you don't want to use paint reducer to remove the black marks. Ask me how I know......
Notice the factory style welds in the corners. I have to go back paint and touch up the Raptor now.
It's definitely better to assemble the bed before paint if possible. I wanted to color sand and buff my panels
which is much easier with it all apart.

**Hart_Rod** · 12-02-2013, 10:58 AM

Love the color!!!

Low Elco · 12-02-2013, 11:13 AM

Awwwwww, Duuuuude... I hate tearing into done stuff! Can you blend Raptor? I wound up doing Al's in 3 rounds, but it blends well.

I'm not sure about blending the raptor. It is a urethane product so it should be fine. I'm not too worried about it, the damage is done, I expect to screw up some part of everything I do on this truck. Par for the course. Maybe my next one will go smoother.

sduckworth13 · 12-06-2013, 01:49 PM

Mike, I agree with everyone else on the bed. You did a great job taking your time to line below the bed floor with the Raptor. The bed looks outstanding.

Thanks Scott for checking out my humble build.
Honestly I have way too much time tied up in this old pile of bolts. (notice I didn't say rusty pile of bolts). I'm so glad to be past all the rust repair

But, I think in the end it will be worth all my effort

mcbassin · 12-06-2013, 02:49 PM

Did a little work the other night, mounted my cab and started trying to figure out the rat's nest of wiring

It needs a bunch of help.
I did manage to hook a battery up to the engine and it started right up

Love those Magnaflows...

Hope we can get a break in the weather soon so I can get back on it.

scotts62 · 12-06-2013, 06:16 PM

Awesome dude! Yeah i hear ya on weather lightening up... 15hr day today because of the stuff, needs to clear up so i can come out and check out the truck.

Zoomin · 12-06-2013, 07:33 PM

Congrats on the fire up!!! That's a big milestone, right there.

Low Elco · 12-07-2013, 08:18 AM

Talking about a pile? Look at my thread....man this thing is about camaraderie and having fun...my truck isnt close to being top notch, but it is fun to share things and get input from others. Make a thread and let us see what your doing...maybe we can learn from it.

nasqar · 12-07-2013, 12:32 PM

Congrats on the firing brother!!!!!!!!! woo hoooo....did the family come running out and wonder what that racket was? lol....

No update, did a little work on it. Not enough to even justify pictures. I did start mounting panels last night, fighting with the gaps. Major pain in back side.

Got another iron in the fire right now too.

Congrats on firing it up!!! That has to make you feel warm and fuzzy for at least a little bit.

Yep, I have been helping a little on it. He was tidying up the wiring last night. Still have to prep the engine bay and get the fuel system lined out.
