Re: Shucks First Build
Thanks guys, means a lot.
So today I took a break from painting. Tired of the fumes... I began working on the bed since I really haven't touched it yet. I put the new fenders on to see how they fit and then I mocked up the roll pan. I do have a brand new rear bumper but I can't find the bumper brackets because they don't make them anymore... so I settled for a roll pan, not my forte but it's all I can do. Then I put the tailgate latches on because I didn't want the chains scratching my new paint. Plus it's a nice touch and they turned out cool. I also put the hood braces on today. Not sure if they work but it's better than nothing I suppose.
This is the main part I wasn't a fan of in this kit. It sucks I had to drill through my tail gate. They had a backing plate to be used for support with those bolts but it just didn't look right. I won't be throwing big stuff in the bed so I did away with it.
