I had that same thought... not about the bird stuff, but about the gloss finish making it last longer so I sent an email to 3M and asked them. Their reply was that the matte finish also has a clear laminate on it as well that protects if from dirt and fading due to the sun. Here in Texas, the sun will definitely be an issue.

Today I finally plumbed and wired up the 69 gas tank under the bed. It is so nice to have a working fuel gauge now. I also removed the old gas tank from behind the seats. Since I have early 2000 Chevy bucket seats, it actually gives me a little more room.

No pictures, but we all know what the gas tank in the cab looks like.... and what it looks like when it isn't there.

A little progress is better than none.

Got a few things done today that I am really excited about. I finally finished 1 wheel. The spacing is correct and it is fully welded and runs <1 all the way round on the dial indicator. I still have plenty of room behind the wheel, although the bump stop will have to be relocated somewhere, and I am going to need to move the emergency brake cable a little.



A shot down the side... nothing sticks out past the fender



There is plenty of room behind the wheels





Aaaaannnnndddd I threw my spare hubcap on just to see how it was going to look.... me likey

This was an afternoons worth of work... If I ever find the person that put that white strip down the center of the bed....





Tomorrow... start filling in the divits and finish pulling the bottom of the bed.
