Played around with weathering the bed wood a little today. Used a combination of vinegar, baking soda, water, wire brushes, sandpaper, muriatic acid, and whatever else was laying around. It took the yellow-ness out, but didn't give the effect I'm shooting for, so I'll have to get more serious with it

Also wired up dedicated grounds for the marker, blinker, and tail lights. Amazing how much better they work now...

Before and 'after' of the bed- more to come:
