Had to do some school work yesterday for my 2 summer classes, so didn't work on the new bed at all.

This morning I drilled the holes in the new flange. After that was done, it was time to paint the bare metal and where the wheel tub mounts. I also cleaned and painted the flanges on the wheel tubs to slow down the rust in those spots.

Probably should have gone to get some paint that matches a little better, but I'm hoping that the gloss will fade out some in the sun and be close enough for now. I used the same can on the driver's door last summer, and it matches up fairly well now. You have to look really close to see it.

Time for lunch!
