Thanks! It's not quite flawless yet, there's always more sanding to do

Bed floor looks awesome.. looks like you picked up an NOS piece someplace..
Thanks Robert!



I made a block from three pieces of plexiglass that can flex to fit the sides of the ribs and flatten the bottom at the same time. All of the ribs are at slightly different heights so all of the sides are at different angles; I couldn't shape a durablock that fit all of the ribs like I did with the last F100, and it wasn't practical to make one durablock per rib.
