Re: 1980 chevy long bed!

Nooowww.. How I made the filler holes.

First I cut up little pieces off of a old tool box to fit the holes. I also made then a lil bigger so I got overlap them to glue them.

Heres them on the back and the tool box I used for metal.



Now I sanded them with a DA and painted them but it I just wasnt happy.. So I had some left over Griptape from I skateboarded (if you dont know what it is See the pic below. Its like black sand paper with a sticky side) and put it on there. I JB welded it on there and theres your patch! message with any questions and tell me what you think. I also am gonna put 3 toggles in the AC vent above the radio for Dome light, Front offroad lights when I get them, and my amp. Also gonna put a horn button on one by the wiper and light contols.

GripTape:


AC hole above the radio:


AC hole beside light and wiper contols:


Heres the whole Thing done:


Tell me what you think.

Also I took my headers off and Didnt break one single bolt! Very proud. lol Anyway sand blasting them tomorrow. Then some paint.. Black or silver you think?
