Re: Project. Long Overdue

Awsome. yea the wife and I plan on going to allot more shows this year. The goal for my truck this year is to get it lowered and possibly converted to a short box and all the body work done and a nice coat of blue tinted sealer on it. Next winter i'll tear it down and paint powder coat and chrome everything. Everything but the lowering and converting it to a short box will be done by me.

Re: Project. Long Overdue

Worked on the truck for about 11 hours today. Color sanded and polished the bed inside and out. Got one fender all polished and re-installed. Polished a Butt load of stainless bolts for the bed. I'll get some better pics in the daylight..so it actually looks like progress.

I got all cleaned up so I could watch NHRA qualifying from Pomona and I can barely keep my eyes open. I wore myself out...or maybe I'm just getting old.

Looks great, if I get to Puyallup I promise not to part my zip too close.

Re: Project. Long Overdue

Got the bed strips all polished (and I bought the polished ones). Still have a few bolts to polish up. Wood is ready to go. I have a few things that I need to button up under the truck before bolting everything together.
