BuiltwithIvy · 12-20-2012, 05:54 PM

a pillers tacked after checking to make sure everything is square, might be hard to tell, but again I used some old nails to help weld the gap up, inner roof is now on inside of cab, outer roof is to the outside, tomorrow will be more fitting and trimming as I go, should have it all tacked up tomorrow

I know where LIberty Hill is. If I go thru Austin on my way to Fredericksburg I pass right thru there.

Are you going to leave the wedge chop or remove some from the rear also?

So I am taking a couple day break from the chop due to holidays and extended family in town, but thought I would tell you about how I plan on doing the bed wood. There is a process called hydro-dipping that will let you coat metal/plastic in a pattern of your choice. (http://www.hydro-dip.com/index.htm) I helped build a 41 cadillac a couple years ago where we did the dash, and it turned out amazing. (http://www.sachserodshop.com/current/large/harvey55.jpg) So I decided I am going to take some chunks of aluminum and create "bedwood" from them using steel strips in between that will be painted to match body color. I am going with the redish color I previously sprayed up top, with a black bottom, and a ghosted silver in between the two. I will then do a dark burlwood bed. (http://www.hydro-dip.com/images/Cust...es/WTP-186.jpg). what do you guys think?
