Re: Ole Blue's Makeover
Been workin on the bedsides. I bought a new repro. header panel from one of our members a while back for a wood bed & also bought a very good tailgate from another one of our members so other than welding the tailgate cover on & prep on the header panel, the two bed sides is all we have left to do body work on. Heck, Ole Blue might be home in a couple more months. Here's the start of the bedsides

I am soo very sorry its been so long since I posted on Ole Blue's progress. There has been a few medical issue's goin on and my buddy thats doing the paintin kinda took a break and built a new 40X40 garage with a paint booth inside but I hope we're back on track. The bed is painted, the Red Oak is dried, planed, sanded, grooves cut, stained and sealed and we have started putting the wood in. I went with 3 coats of "Colonial Maple" stain by MINWAX and 5 coats of gloss oil based varnish. Here are a few pictures of how the wood turned out

Thanks alot and yep, gettin close. If all goes as planned, should be done, with this stage, lol, in 2 weeks. I did some changes to the tailgate and decided to put my kill switch and charging lugs on the side of the bed. Just about all the "Pro Street" trucks that I see have the lugs and kill switches in the tailgates. There is a red and white On/Off logo that goes behind the kill switch but I want the clear to cure a little longer before I put it on. Here are a few more of the bed
