hello keith if you go to my post #87 you will see what i used to do the frame and i also used it on the tubz , i love that stuff , i may do engine bay with it as im not looking for the smooth paint finish in this build , this stuff is semi gloss and it leaves a small texture look to it at the same time , may not be for everybody but it works for me , here are some pix and my first cut !!!!

Thanks Raull, I went back and looked. I was thinking about doing the same thing painting the tubz on the inside with bedliner. Tubz are looking good in there.

Raull,... your truck looks beautiful!
I still want a set of those wheels.

Any reason you are leaving the 3-speed crossmember in it?
