Thanks for the info and apologies for making you write all that out...but it will really help when I try to do this. I plan on waiting to Spring and doing my bed one part at a time to experiment.

Tapeworm, I agree with markebo1, the car turned out nice. I would never have thought the true red Rallys would look good against flat red oxide but it looks really good. What's the "rest of the story" with that car? Was it yours? WHat became of it? RUnning gear etc. Even though I have the '46 trtuck I know squat about pre '55 Chevy's so I assumed this was a '46 model!
