Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

I blocked down the bed and an took a front bumper and welded in the middle section where the license plate goes since my bed has the roll pan on it. forgot to take any pic of it. Here is the bed in final primer before paint.




Here is a pic of the latches and limit chains

Re: Big Bertha Build thread x2

I shot some color on it last weekend and sprayed in bed liner. It came out pretty good. I am working on getting on the truck this weekend.





Here is a pic of the bumper that I filled the license plate section in.
