    Nice job painting the bed. Did you have to crawl inside to spray the inside?

    Thanks man. Yeah I had to crawl under the front panel and paint the inside. I also had to roll around on a wet floor on a creeper to paint the underside hard to reach places. Now doing that six times (3 coats basecoats and 3 coats of clear coat), no wonder I'm sore today.lol

    Your pickup is turning out beautiful. That's one thing I would like to change in mine sometime, put in a column shifter and a front console.

    Great work! I really like the console. I'm going to do something similar on my 40. I just need to do what you just said. Get out there and do it. I just need to find that spare time stuff.

    Thanks man. Yeah I did not want the gas filler in the center of the bed so I had to think of something different. Its good to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel finally.

    That's the same thing I have my Camaro parked in. Now it can double as a paint booth. Great idea Bam. That bed looks great!

    This is an incredible build BAM - you should be VERY proud of all the work you have done to get to this point. The truck is absolutely beautiful. Hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy driving it this summer as you certainly deserve some relax time!! Be prepared for a lot of thumbs up and complements.

    That's an understatement.
    I agree with every word he said; but it's still an understatement.
