This was one year ago:

This is from this morning:

Yesterday I made a patch panel/reinforcement for the front bottom bed panel. It is fairly heavy steel and I used the panel adhesive to install it. There are holes drilled in the bottom that match the original panel, so the bolts go right through as usual. There was some rust on that piece, but it was cleaned up and the adhesive will seal it up on the bottom side, cleaning and good sealer will take care of the top side.

Then I got the primer mixed and sprayed until I ran out. Got the bed floor bottom side pretty good, the front panel and a single coat on the driver door. There are a couple dings on that to fix yet.
