Alright, will do!

So this weekend I bought a few goodies.
Went to harbor freight, and got a DA sander, and a ton of sand paper pads.
I starter working on the lip of the bed, thought that picture demonstrated the 4 colors of this bed in chronological order: Deep Blue, Aqua (TF color?), ugly cream, rust.
I brought it down to bare metal, then covered it with some rattle can primer. I thought when I finally do get to the bodywork/paint stage, it'll be a whole lot easier to remove primer than surface rust. Plus it looks new...er

I bought this el cheapo battery at Wally World for 50 bucks. Found out it fits perfectly in the stock compartment!
What battery are you guys using?
