We've been busy the last few days

In between the rain and wind, we actually have had some really nice days here in South Florida (South of Ft Lauderdale). My son and I worked on a bunch of things. Here's what we've been doing:


Front bumpers been in the garage for a year. The chrome gives her some attitude!


Received my bed strips from Mar-K. The wood: 5 1/4" pressure treated deck wood plained down to 3/4" then golden oak stained and clear coated...It's temporary - still have tons of body work. Didn't want to spend $400+, just need to cover the rear end, fuel tank, etc.


My son went crazy with the paint cans - but the red and black look really good. Converted from a 3 on the tree to an automatic column. I know, I still have to pull out that floor shifter. Can't possibly use both.

All you guys that have sold me the "little" parts, Thanks. Harry

The bumper looks good What did you use pressure treated for?

I picked it up for less than $5.00 per board. Since it's only temporary, I figured it would work out just fine until we do body work and prep for paint. As stated, I didn't see paying for good hardwood when theres so much more to do first. Just needed to cover the rear end.

I like the red & black, but I'm a little partial It might be cool to keep both shifters in, and make people scratch their heads.....

Thanks Scott

I think the treated lumber looks good. Did planeing it make it look lighter?
around here our treated lumber has a dark green tint to it. With staining
and clear coat it should look good for a long time.

Blue71,

Little Rock...Ole' Stomping Grounds. Actually, Little Rock AFB from 81-85. I picked through the Pressure Treated Wood for the lightest boards at Home Depot and then searched for the straightest 8 footers.
