Sometimes weird friends are the best! The fact that there was work to be done and they were not running away shows what kind of friends they truly are! Nice to see you doing your best to preserve the beast, better than the new stuff for sure. |

Looks like it's coming along nicely. What color is the finished product going to be?

Heck, when I was that age, that WAS the finished color. |

Tom, on that do it yourself bedliner make sure you lightly sand all the interior bed surface so material will stick properly. I had a shop use a kit on a truck I used to own and they didn't rough up the surface completely. Where it was sanded it stuck very well but where they missed liner material peeled off. Keep posting pics of your project and have fun. B10Dave. |
