Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache
Sprayed some more epoxy on parts/spots I missed.
Measured the old angle strips (1" tall) and the new angle strips (1-1/8" tall), then did some math for the raised bed floor, plus the thickness of the composite boards (15/16" vs 3/4" pine) to figure out where the new strips need to be mounted. Drilled holes for plug welding the new strips. Removed one offending fender bolt (offender?) which is right where the strip needs to go. Hung the doors on the cab, and sat on some lumber to make some vroom vroom noises. Placed the inner fenders and front fenders just to gaze once again at the awesome hard park height. Hoping to get the bed on soon. General tidying of the shop.
