Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks for the comments guys. I finally got the bed painted today. I ran out of clear after 2 coats yesterday, so I decided to scuff it down today and add another couple of coats. Now the buffing begins. Here are a few pics from the paint booth.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks David, but I kinda doubt I'll be done by then, I've still got alot to do. I was just talking to my sister about maybe going to Charlotte autofair though. If I get over that way I'll be sure to give you a shout.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
I meant the one in April, but if I go, I won't have my truck with me. My sister lives in Kannapolis, and the weekend of the autofair would be a great time for a visit.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks! I made the fuel filler myself. I saw a couple that were similar and decided to try it. I hope it works as good as it looks.

Re: HuggerCST's '70 SWB CST build
Thanks! I finally got some time to work on it so I changed the front to disc with 2.5 drop spindles and stock springs. I rebuilt the suspension while I was at it with all new joint, bushings, & shocks.
