Doesn't that figure. I knew I should've stayed and helped ya stain. It was great meeting you and your truck. Pictures doesn't do justice for your truck. It's going to be really cool. Like I said if you need some help or a hand give me a holler. Thanks

Re: 68 project
 
Thanks guys, I am going to do one more coat on top and then POR 15 the bottom and edges of them. Hopefully my clear coat comes in this week so I can get the bedsides and header panel coated to assemble the bed. :mm:

Never realized you could get that stuff in silver. Cool idea. That will make a nice contrast.

Dang them boards came out purdy. And I would have to agree the pics are awesome but in person it is breath taking. You have a master piece my friend something to be proud of. I have enjoyed seeing it go from frame rails to roller.

It's coming along nicely. The wood floor looks great!

Re: 68 project
 
Thanks fellas, yes Robert it has come a long way in a year. This time last year the frame was leaned against the wall in the storage building at my house and no clue how I would get it all together a I didn't even really have the space to work on it properly. I now feel I will actually get to drive it once again :chevy::mm:
