Re: My 66 Project

Here's a few pics of during. For some reason a couple are laying on their side, I never have an issue with that, but fquick uploaded them like that this time.

This is what was started with. Really had to watch where you stepped! Always expected one of the handle bars of the bikes to be ground off by the time we got somewhere lol.


I was planning on leaving the bed on the truck until I got to this point. Decided to sawzall the 8 bed bolts. Me and a coworker picked it up and stood it on end on some 2x4's. Made life MUCH easier.


Little project took over my shop for a while!


After I painted a good coat of black house paint on the bottom, I coated the boards in three coats of linseed oil. I let each coat dry/cure over night. I'm really happy with the finish.


For some reason Fquick decided to let this pic lay on its side. This is where I noticed I didn't have enough stainless bolts in the LMC kit. Ran to Ace and picked up 6 more. Didn't want to drill the boards for the bed mounting bolts, so I just bolted the cross sills to the frame.
