Re: Long Time Coming......

Still plugging away on the bed. I took the gate off and did the final wleding of the framing panels and then ground the welds.

I then moved to the rolled pan. I reinstalled it and once again verified that I hate the fit where it meets the bottom of the tailgate. For one the gap is far too big for my liking, and for two you can see the gap isn't even as there appeares to be some warpage or something going on with the rolled pan.

So I cut just below the bend on the pan from side to side separating it. I then reattched the upper flange piece where I thought it should be, which is about a half inch higher then before. I then installed the rolled pan and now it is time to make a filler panel to fill the exposed gap.

More to come this weekend.
