What did you do to your truck today!

Fired her up cause she has been sitting outside while I work on the bed. My wife won't let me leave her mustang out for more than a couple of nights. Drove her up and down the street a couple of time with my wife sitting next to me. She likes the old bench seat cause she can slide right up next to me. Got two coats of Pelucid on the bed wood. Need to do one more coat on the top and flip em' over to do the bottom. After that three coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane. Damn that Pelucid (POR15) is expensive! Got to make due with a quart ($46) at the local paint supply store.

What kind of wood is that? Should be beautiful!

I got a killer deal on it from a place out here in Colorado. It is Blue Stain, beetle killed pine. The dark color is a natural patina from the beetle that kills off the tree. The Pelucid darkens up the wood a bit but other than that it is an all natural finish. I bought 8, 1x8x8 boards for $45 and ripped them and chanelled them to fit.
