I
won't be taking these bif dents out, because I'll be putting them right
back in! |

The
space around the window surprised me, I thought there would be rust here.
(I am happy!) |
|
Some
of the prep is done. I need to get some Touch Up paint in Dark Briar
Brown metallic for above the bed
line. |

I need just a few clips. Kelly & Robert said they might have these. I also
realized that the side strips on the back ot the tailgate opening are shot.
These were put back on long ago with silicone. See the next few pics:

First Coat of Herculiner 6/25/04
All done now. I'll get pictures when it gets warm again. It's wearing great,
and there is no sliding around with the sand bags in the winter.

This is
after 2 winters, lots of hard work and strange loads. A little spot
of Fan clutch oil left over from the engine swap. I just hose it out
from time to time, but basically it hasn't shown any wear for 2 years. |
