Well this project now has a deadline, my oldest son got engaged two weeks ago and my new daughter asked if they can leave the wedding in the truck, she's a keeper

Wedding is July 30th so I better get busy.

2 coats of poly on the bottom and 4 on the top:

Too cool! Looks like you're making nice progress so far, so hopefully the deadline won't be an issue. I'm thankful we were able to use my truck in our wedding.

Blessed66 · 03-13-2016, 01:11 PM

Wow, just wow. I cannot even imagine the amount of love (read: work, dedication, perseverance, patience, etc.) that has gone into this truck.

**66ChevyMax** · 03-13-2016, 11:36 PM

Thanks 13, I don't see a problem with the deadline at this time, small steps everyday is the plan.

Thanks 66, it's been a wild road, I appreciate the kind words. It will all be worth it in the end, if it ever ends HA!

I haven't cut and buffed in a long long time. Using 3M products has been a pleasure.

I use 1500, 3000 & 5000 grit, it was pretty amazing.

This is after 5000, freaking shines

After 3 types of polish, smooth as glass:

siggyfreud · 03-14-2016, 12:25 AM

Wow, that looks AWESOME. I am totally jealous right now

Winmon · 03-14-2016, 05:04 PM

Very nice job, very nice!!!

3drburb · 03-14-2016, 05:36 PM

Awesome build. The end looks near.

tune_1 · 03-14-2016, 10:30 PM

Man there is a lot of bolts in this bed and I'm not done yet, need to drill bolts at the edge of the bed and tubs.

siggyfreud · 03-14-2016, 11:43 PM

So once you're all done with the bed whats your plan for getting it back on the frame without damaging any of the awesome work you've done? 4-man lift, or some bed-lifting contraption?

**66ChevyMax** · 03-14-2016, 11:51 PM

It's sitting on the frame now, I use the lift to raise and lower it to get to the under side.

Ah okay. Damn I wish I had a lift . . . would have made removing the cab and bed so much easier

**66ChevyMax** · 03-15-2016, 12:01 AM

That lift has been wonderful.
