Re: Harold's '48 S10 LS1 Build

I finally got a bit more done on my bed wood. I drilled drain holes in the wood bed strip grooves every foot and finished sanding everything out.
This is the same color that I used on the grill. I wanted something a bit more yellow than the wood stains that I could find. I shot a piece of pine wood with this paint about 8 months ago, and I have left this piece outside in the elements. It seems to be holding up very well.

I still have to sand out the bed wood, and I will most likely shoot another color coat before I shoot the clear. I still have to finish fitting the wheel tubs to the two pieces of wood closest to the bed sides before I paint them.

I never noticed before but my angle bed strips were on different hole spacing from the ends, than my center bed strips. I will have to cut these anyway to clearance for the wheel tubs, so I think that I can make these work.
