I really appreciate that, buddy! It was really great chatting with you the other night! Quote:
I am not finished yet! Ian going to let it set a few days (or more) then D-A it with #1000 grit, and clear it again! It was a simple wipe-on black stain that I applied twice....the can is at the shop, so I can't give details right now. I will get the info & fill you in when we talk next. Quote:

Here are a few more pics in better lighting, but with my crappy phone! LOL!   Most people would be happy with the way that it looks right now...and I should probably leave it alone. But, I want to try to make it look like it is too shiny & flat to be real!....I can't help myself!..I think I am insane.

Here is a pic of the stain tat I used for my bedwood! The wood is Oak, and if you look back on my thread, you will see that I worked the wood from the rough-sawn state to this!!! I put two coats on the exposed side, and let dry in between, and brushed the backside...

I really don't know where the stain was originally purchased. My buddy bought it for a wood-working project a long time ago, and never used it. When I mentioned that I wanted to use black stain on the bedwood, he told me not to buy any until I tried this, and gave it to me. I asked him about it again today, and he said that the store where he had bought it has long since went out of business.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Been workin a bunch on my air management system lately.
Also I wanted to build some "bump-stops" for the front to keep my tires from contacting the inner fenders when, and if the system went down, or at an aired-out status... These photos show my answer to a bump-stop for Portrerbuilt arms... I ordered a set of Energy Suspension 9.9103G bump-stops and devised the shown mount to hold them in place.   They are bolted through the bag-plate and sit on top of the crossmember. Also I mounted my front & rear ride-height sensors for my Accuair E-Level system. A few pics of what I came up with for the front...   And for the rear, this is what I did...   Don't mind the rolled up cable...I want to make certain that everything works properly before customizing the harness. And a few pics of her sitting on the new Bump-stops... I will probably take another 3/4" out of the front...Just sayin!
