Thanks, there are HUNDREDS of hours in that bed. If I would have known I was going to go this far with this car, I would have taken better care of the bed when I was younger and the only one in my main group of friends that had a truck.....

Getting the cut and polish done.  This shot is after going over it with 5000 grit trizact.  That paper is amazing, you could almost just go ahead and wax it after you get done with it.

If you ever do one on a rotisserie you’ll never do without it again.  Bodywork, painting, and cutting and polishing rockers at waist height is SSSOOOO nice.Thumbs UpBig smile
