Worked on my bed. Now I'll sand blast the bed, spray with epoxy sealer and apply filler to get good and straight. Last I'll spray on high build primer to make sure its perfect.

Nice work!!!

Yes it was. Thought I was going have to replace the bed panel. The only options are a long bed patch panel and cut it down. Really didn't want to do that. It actually came out really straight.

Thanks chad64, right now I'm wanting to paint it corvette jet stream blue. Wanting it to look like this picture . Might do some silver to break it up.
There's a car show May 4th and trying to get the bed done or at least in primer so I can enter show. It will be a work in progress at the show.

Worked on the inside of the bed sides. Had a little rust on one side where the wood bolts to bed. Cut out two pieces and bent them to the right radius.

What I started with.

Made this piece that goes new the rear corner.

Cut this piece out and started to weld in the new piece and ran out of shielding gas for my mig. Finish next weekend.
Kinda finished product.
